Hovis tanker driver

Joined the M5 at 5 NB, Stobart pulling a Morrisons DD let me in, flashed him back in, I was a fraction of a kph quicker as I was slowly catching him up but not enough for a decent overtake, I also always use the slight hill at the split to judge if it’s gonna be worth it. Followed him to M42, M6 south, A14. No issue being slower than him I just eased off a bit… Cue M1 south onto A14, Hovis tanker joins just after us, empty, follows us and tries to overtake 3 time before the hill, only pulls in because of faster vehicles, spends from junction 2 to 7 overtaking then pulls off at 9 with Stobart■■? Do Hovis lorries only run at full speed?

Put your cruise on at 2 clicks less than your limiter, put your mind onto something else, and enjoy endless days of anything else other than this bull excrement.

Blood pressure will pay dividends in years to come.

Indeed.
I usually sit at 50mph. Gives me 6mph if I need to overtake anything. I plod along just fine.
I used to be foot to the floor all the time but saving a few minutes is not worth it.

Can see where you are coming from. As already stated, i also always run a couple clicks below limited speed.
Apart from Bert and Doris, that are on the way to the garden centre, you wont be overtaking much running at 50 mph

Some people just like elephant racing.

I"ll have a fiver on trap 6 :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t bother doing 54 at the side of someone doing 55 for 20 miles - I usually slow down and let them get past.
