Tesco’s driver 
I had finished my last drop in wales & was on my way back to base. I was minding my own buisness driving along the m48 when i noticed a truck in my mirrors coming up behind me. Is that a tescos lorry i thought to myself…nah it cant be. To my astonishment it was. I was on the limiter at 56 & couldnt believe my eyes
doubt it was driven by a tesco driver though, agency i guess
Typical of the government, trialling a top secret experiment with a truck disguised as a tescos truck and they make a basic mistake of not getting the speed right.

I think you are having us on and you were reversing at the time 
ask kindle about his new truck and tescos…
I thought tesco’s were slow because they come down hard on their drivers that speed? if so, surely 56 on a motorway would be fine?

spill the beans Matt!
Axor - probably speed limter broken.
I see this alot. I’m normally towing the tesco’s wagons on my wrecker though so they’re not actually doing it under their own steam, lol!
There was a notice in Didcot a few weeks ago about them trialing lowering the speed limiters even further, to 50mph I think it was (52 now I think). Maybe it was a long term hire truck with a tesco sticker on.
It might be the same one that passed me on Thursday when I was coming up from Langdons in Bridgwater,I thought there was something up with my truck 
their drivers sit at 50
The dafs sit at 52 on cruise control but are limited to 55/56 same as the mercs
If it was on the limiter it was more likely to be an agency driver. Thats how i tell who is driving. If i pass a tesco truck its a tesco driver, if i can only match his speed its an agency driver
Hope you flashed him in when he overtook you, be childish not to you know
ive had it done to me once on the m9 - it totally screws with your head so it does - it must of been an agency driver though 
, if only they where all doing it

Yes i did flash him in, i do it regardless of the company
are these the same guy’s that sit in front of you at 36/38mph on single track roads,then when it cuts into dual they go flat out so ya can’t pass em… 
I’m coming round to Rog’s idea that cruise control isn’t safe…
…much better having a brick on the loud pedal.
Many moons ago i used to do ayg work for tesco livingston and was reprimanded by a driver for OVERTAKING him(A9)!!!
thought he was kidding , but was deadly serrious , 
I knew i wasnt dreaming when i posted about this in a previous post a few weeks back, everynight on ther M4 at around 10.30pm 11.15pm Between Jct12 - Jct 5 i get overtaken by the same Tesco truck flying past me & i’m on the limiter doing 56

The very same ones mate. !!!
Then they wander why nobody likes them,and come on here crying cos nobody flashes them in after they manage to overtake someone.
