Coming out of London this afternoon, traffic light, cruise set at 86kph and as I pass an on slip I notice a tipper coming up the slip to join the A13 about 100 yards behind me. He enters carriageway and for some reason goes straight into lane two despite there being nothing to overtake. After 2 or 3 miles of sitting there and not gaining on me he obviously decided that he’d finished texting or whatever and decided to actually pass me.
As soon as I saw his indicator come on I knew what he was up to, and if it’d been a genuine mistake I’d have backed off to let him in with no drama. However this Cupid stunt probably comes off at this junction numerous times a day and probably chances his arm every single time. Apologies for the bad language, and believe me it was a lot closer than the camera portrays.

Quite containd mate,ide of had a bad case of tourets? syndrome.!!!
What would he have lost if he nestled in behind you ? Possibly 2 seconds if that. Did you give him the coffee bean wave ?
Standard manoeuvre for one of theirs!
And everybody wonders why the bike brigade distrust “trucks”, obviously were are all tarred with the same brush as these cowboys 
Corbyn ; 8 Wheelers or politics, both inept

After he’d come off the slip I “floored” it up to the limiter and looked across at him where he promptly gave me the coffee bean sign! Must’ve been all my fault then!

Maybe he thought he’d get his wave in first as he knew what was coming .

You may have a good and valid point there. I was never gonna give him the sign anyway as I was far to busy fantasising about the sounds and the feelings of driving a foot long screwdriver into one of his eye sockets!
