I see argos have joined the rolling road block gang by limiting their motors to 50,its fair enough for lorries to plod along at 50 on dual carriageways etc,but not on mways ,they should leave them set at 56 but tell the driver to try and stick to 50,the reason for my winge is because a argos motor decided he fancied overtaking a caravan this morning on the way up the m11,FFS talk about elephant racing ,it went on for yonks a neither would give way,propper knobs 
This could be a ātop trumpsā threadā¦ I saw an Argos wagon try and pass a Tesco motor the other day. Asthmatic elephant racing at itās finest. 
Plenty of knobs elephant racing at 56.
Iād be blaming the caravan rather than the Argos driver.
Iād put a fiver on the caravan driver being one of these slow down, speed up type people and Argos got fed up and tried to overtake but then got held out to dry by the caravan driver either being a thick [zb] or playing games.
Iād agree Merc, Iāve had it a few times and when they realise they are being passed by a lorry 
they maintain speed - or think they do
If it is a car, not a truck!, I normally put on the left indicator, but do not do anything else. Eventually the other driver will spot the signal and back off or speed up 
I just do it were if its taking too long to pass and / or you can see a bit of a queue starting to build, back off, pull back behind and wait till a downhill.
If we are pointing fingers at this example then both are really to blame.

Same here, they panic and think they will be crushed so they sod off then
At 3663,our trucks are limited to 50,itās a friggin drag. Even worse when finished for the day. We only have have one that does 56 and the other day I was trying to pass a 4 car transporter several times,but couldnāt do it. When behind him/her I had to knock the cruise control down 54 
I would like a database here of 50mph restricted firms, saves thinking about getting into the Elephant race syndrome
Then again you see a trailer of a firm you think is on a restricted 50mph limiter and wonder why you cant pass him and your doing 58mph, the realise its a subbie pulling the trailer
been like that for nigh on 2 years
Had it last week went to overtake a tesco decker half way along side saw itwas a stobart unit under it, level with the cab he decided to bugger off the ā ā ā .

And that was the best part of the day thats what kind of day it was lol 
Im on the NEXT (shop) contract run by DHL but wagons owned by next. talk about bonkers with the speeds they setā¦
2010 plates do 52
2013 plates do 49/50
2014 plates do 56
its barmyā¦ cant wait for the 15 plates
Itās a speed LIMIT, not a TARGET, and I can 99.99% put my neck out and say the argos wagon (doing 50mph) is TAXED & INSURED so has every right to be in lane 2 of the M11 if he wishes and no 1 has the right to say that because heās going slower than me that he canāt hold up the traffic behind him.
Iām quiet happy to sit out there at 55mph whilst overtaking another doing 54.99mph.
you donāt own the road just like no one else does so calm yourselfs down and take a chill pill and just let the day flow along.
bit harsh mateā¦

Just facing facts. If I didnāt say something along that lines, someone else would. donāt get me wrong, I spent 3 years sat at 51.5mph and it was bloody annoying but learned to live with it and just got on with it, I now sit at 55mph and just take it as it comes.

Well 56/58mph travellers love you (sarcasm) as does everyone else who can legally do 70mphā¦ffs have respect for other road users, you cause part of the issues on the motorway network with that attitude.
Click your fāing CC to 54mph and do the M11 a favour
You made about hmmmm seconds maybe a minute on your journey overtaking ? but the inconvenience you caused to other road users is just a by product?

Couldnāt give a crap. I paid to do a job and thatās exactly what I do. I donāt give 2 monkeys if I hold anyone up, just like no one else cares.
