On the M6 tonight I moved out to allow HGVs to join the motorway twice and both left me out in lane 2 and just matched my speed.
I also overtook 3 artics that I was only going slightly faster than. All 3 didn’t bother to back off 1 or 2 clicks to help me past and non flashed me back in (no I don’t NEED flashing in but it’s a bit of courtesy isn’t it)
Where has a bit of manners gone between truck drivers? Oh yeah I forgot there ain’t any

You must have a very boring life /job, the highlight seems to be you coming on here every morning whingeing about minor incidents that are just regular occurrences to everyone else. I wonder what your workmates think of your self righteous indignation? I bet it’s like a Red Arrows bomb burst when they see you getting out of the motor. Grow up! Regards Kev.

Thank God for driving a hooligan spec motor and not having to put up with pish like this.

No, nobody’s perfect but it does not take much to drive with a bit of respect for fellow road users. Rowleys quite right to point these morons out.
There are far too many of them about and I suspect the ones that get wound up by Rowleys posts …

Not at all but there are far more important things to worry about than the drivel he posts, as for the overtaking it is the overtaking drivers responsibility to get past the other vehicle so if he’s not quick enough then just sit back and relax rather than getting wound up and telling the world

It was a dream that’s all, like a few posters here they live in fairyland something similar to the legends, its a state of mind

Of course there are but they can be discussed elsewhere. This is a truck drivers forum and Rowleys post is truck related.
You are quite correct about the overtakers responsibility but the truck being overtaken can discourage elephant racing if they have a decent attitude.
looks like a bit of role/rule reversal when it suits then.
if your only going slightly faster,then when the shoe is on the other foot and someone manages to overtake you then your always bleating on about how little time they will save.
obviously this only applies in a real life situation though.
will you both be allowed up late over the weekend ?
In a situation where I’m being hung out, to avoid elephant racing, I back off a click or two, let them through on the inside and pull back in because I cant be bothered with extra hassle.
And also because I’m a hero. Except i dont feel the need to highlight it, I just get on with my life.
