So truck is overtaking you, you knock a few clicks off to help him get past you, then because you slow down that little bit the driver who was 2 foot from your rear moves out to overtake. You now can’t resume your original speed because then he will think your being a bell end but he isn’t going as fast as the first one so you’ve got to knock another couple of clicks off to help him past. Then the next driver who is now 2 foot from your back moves out to overtake and before you know it your doing 45 mph and can’t speed up without being accused of being a ■■■■■■■■■. No sorry if you want to overtake me it’s up to you to have assessed you’ve got enough speed to get past me in reasonable time because I ain’t slowing down and let every single one of you past.
In other news…
I found a lost sock from last week.

I’m starting to think you and dozy are related
Who cares? Don’t slow down then.
Not sure how anybody can accuse you of something when they are just driving another lorry?
You obviously worry too much what others think…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
so many questions unanswered there.
did you have to take a hammer to it to open it up again?
left one,
right one,
patterned,
how many holes…theres an endless amount of questions with every one more interesting than the usual attention seeking drivvle from the op`s barrage of posts for the sake of posting.
how high was it,
wooly,
rayon,
cotton,
colour,…it just goes on and on and on…
ffs op your moaning about a situation YOU created, 
If someone can’t get past you, that’s THEIR problem, they should have calculated their speed better. Why would you slow down to let some numpty past?

What’s up with 1 mph rather than a few clicks as you put it ?
The problem is blatantly obvious. Courtesy rarely exsists amongst lorry drivers these days in fact in any drivers.
Mainly a bunch of selfish arrogant morons all unable to comprehend basic road manners never mind safety.

Well I’m glad you…
Asked that question dd because, the answer is far more interesting than the OPs origional droning whinge fest.
It was a diamond patterned Abercomby and Fitch in light blue with contrasting darker blue squares. It recieved it as a Xmas prezzy from my aunt Ethel and uncle Fenton. I thought I’d left it in the machine but alas, it wasn’t there when I turned out my smalls.
You’ll be pleased to know it was at the very bottom of the laundry basket, who’d have thought it eh!

So now you’ve found the ‘lost’ one where is the other one, did you put it in a safe place on the off chance that the renegade one would show up or toss it in the bin cos’ it didn’t have a mate ?

I’m told time and time again by some “old school” drivers on here who bang on about the “golden age” of driving that a true professional slows down to allow another past. Problem with doing that is how I described.

we wont know till he updates us but i reckon if it was me,then id put it on my lost and found sock drawer just in case.
personally,it dont matter to me as i just buy 20 pairs of socks all the same so the first 2 i find is always a pair. 
The anguish of having a sock sit idle in your top drawer for 3 months , patiently awaiting the day you reunite it with its other half, then alas it turns up , you go to roll them up together- and that’s when you discover a hole on the heel, it’s probably not big enough to justify throwing away but you just know the next time you wear it with your steel toe cap boots on, you’ll regret the decision as your bald heel rubs against your boot for 10 hours .
Sockgate…
Update. I use the ‘lost sock drawer’ method. I’ll admit the Samaritans have been a source of great encouragement too.
Since adopting this working practice, I’ve stopped dropping trailers on their knees and holding other drivers out in the middle lane for 10 miles at a time on the M11. I’m working on my habits of keeping drivers boxed in at junctions and cutting in far too early though.
I put it down to much less stress over Sockgate.
sockgate…re.the samaratins.
a while ago i thought i would do my bit to help society and worked for the samaratins for a few months till the pain of listening to other peoples misfortune and anguish got too much for me that i decided to leave and seek other worthwhile interests to occupy my time along the lines of training to be a fridge engineer,hgv,lgv advanced driver instructor,pilot,and getting a job trunking between anywhere on the m6 and holland plus a few other pastimes that ive not thought up yet.
however,it wasnt as easy to leave the samaratins as it was to join them,as every time i called in to say i wasnt coming in,then they kept me talking long enough totalk me round and go in for my shift. 
I miss my crusty love sock. It got me through many hard times.
How can Dicky say courtesy is pointless??
This guy has lost a sock ffs, he’s suffered enough, the least you can give him is a bit of courtesy.
Btw DD , the sock …quote ‘‘is it a left or a right’’
Think you’ve spent too much time in Ireland mate. 
Michael Macintyre would pay top dollar for these sock-related observations chaps Lets be honest he’s built his career on much lesser fayre
