Of course I have 9/10 the truck moves to allow me on if he can’t he can’t if the motorway is empty ill drop a little power and pull in behind him. What’s the problem with that.
Courtesy goes both ways but it shouldn’t be taken for granted

I’ll move to lane 2 only if it’s safe to do so!I knock the CC off a couple of Ks to let the Pallet man or parcel trunker by to avoid being compromised in a HGV sandwich!! Saying that! I moved out for a slow hill climbing 8 wheel tipper up the top of the hill from Jct 26! Only for the idiot to freewheel down the inside of me! I moved in to block said manoeuvre and he decided to ride on the hardshoulder! Muppet!
I only pull out to allow trunk driver on
Good Lad!! You know it makes sense!

Ok so maybe not highway code, but how about some common sense. I take it you’ve never joined a motorway from an uphill slip road, when fully freighted?Are you for real
Yes. Are you?
The standard of driving in the UK is far better than in the USA, people here have no idea how to use slip roads or exit/ entry ramps as they are called here, they don’t know how to merge, they slow up as they travel down them or even stop at the bottom and look back which as you can imagine causes utter chaos. Drivers sound their horns and shake fists at me for accelorating and joining ahead of them, even when they are a good distance back.
Same sort of drivers will just sit in the middle lane when I have my signal on to pull out and pass even when the next lane over is empty, they don’t even see my signal because all they are looking at it the road 10 feet in front of them.
