No.1 numpty needs his ADR licence revoking as well!!
I find it shocking how common it is for truck drivers to tailgate these days. See it over and over again everyday
Thats shocking,what bugs me is when there up your ring and they keep popping out so you know they are there,then come steaming past shaking their head doing well over 56,i had it today and when the bloke pulled in front no indicating and pulling in nearly taking my front end off,there was a big bang a puff of dust ,his n/s/m trailer tyre popped,get in

I have a tendancy to move across to the right when i have an impatient driver behind me, they usually back off when they know you wont be intimidated by their antics.
I love the idea that an ADR license somehow makes you better able judge/misjudge the gap to wagon infront, but somehow I doubt it 
Could be worse, it could have been four planks in a line 
On a lighter note, how did those concrete rings not move with a mere 2 straps on each one?? Surely with their weight you should be looking about 6 million straps per ring■■?

Surely that’s as bad
There are drivers
And there are professional drivers

I allways get the urge to just tap the brake pedal to light the brake lights up,but that could course mayhem

They’re also on what looks like simple wooden cradles, securely strapped and chocked they’re going nowhere.

Deviating on the carriageway for no purpose than to show you won’t be intimidated.
How about you let the prick pass drop off the power for ten seconds he gets out of your space. Enabling you the professional driver to deliver your load and return with a truck and your life.
It’s not a game or a race. I mostly run at 44ton. I would hate to have that force and momentum out of my control

Like you can do that in lane 2 when your overtaking!
And the photograph was taken how 
The biggest offender is the one pulling the concrete pipes-front mud flaps!

with a camera , slow traffic or stopped traffic
Tailgating is a pet hate of mine, in order to shake them off I usually knock my cc off & let my speed gradually decrease, 9 times out of 10 they take the hint & overtake by the time I’ve dropped to 50, if they still persist then I wait for a clear section of hard shoulder, pop my hazards on & move over.
I used to give the brakes a tap but just think it’s a bit dangerous, last thing I want is someone locking up behind me & possibly jack knifing.

Personally if I go to overtake and the brain dead moron on the inside speeds up, I lift and move back into lane 1. I think what a prat he is but I am not going to hold other traffic up and put myself in danger. It’s called good driving

You’ve lost me now, well i think you’ve lost yourself.
FYI, I am on about moving to the right of the lane i’m in, not both lanes.
