I was impressed with the tanker driver who followed me over Woodhead on monday,
The vehicle I was driving was being returned from working on a site and was very low geared and slow.By the time I reached the dual carriageway near Stocksbridge I had built up quite a convoy, I expected the tanker driver to overtake as soon as we reached the D/C, but he waved all the cars passed first. When he finally overtook me I expected an older driver, but this lad was only in his 20’s/ early 30’s,
So there is some hope that there are some real professionals still in the game.

Similar experience today when I was driving the bin lorry following a tractor drive, he moved over to the side to let everyone go past but unfortunately he couldn’t fathom that he and I wouldn’t fit side by side without intruding the next lane. At least he was being courteous ![]()
