Drive like scalded cats or carve you up. I was driving along the A31 going from the Ringwood towards Southampton at about 2am this morning. I still had a part load on and was going uphill when a RM truck (artic) overtook me. He waited until I flashed him in before he attempted to move back in and he stuck to the 50mph limit for the road. Well done that guy, he obviously stands up for himself, does the job right and won’t be dictated to by the idiots in the office.

Agency driver.
Paid by the hour? Possibly. Although I think the majority that run out of Marchwood are agency but I may be wrong

Add that one to the two I have seen and that’s three in the last 24 years.
Spoke too soon.
I had one up my arse tonight along the A326, he was in a Salford Van Hire unit with a double decker trailer on it. Think he was a bit peed off I stuck to the speed limit and if I had to stop in an emergency he would have planted himself right into the back of my tanker!
