Last night (16th oct) I saw an incident that was the most reckless I have ever seen by a car driver.
I was driving a Man northbound on the M6 near Lancaster on my way to Scotland at about 20:00. The load was not too heavy as the trailer was half full. The weather was fine and clear for once. I was being overtook by a Surefreight truck who got to about half way up my trailer when we both hit a steep hill. I usually wait till trucks get along side me before coming off the accelarator to let them past. I noticed a car driver along side the truck in the third lane who cut the Surefreight driver up.
This is when I saw the worst driving in my short 15 years as an hgv driver. The car driver kept slamming on in front of the Surefreight driver. This could of caused a serious accident to both the car driver and truck along with others on the busy motorway. This carried on so I decide to come of the accelerator so the car would go past me along with the surefreight driver and out if danger. The car driver did the same which meant we where all in the same position. So I sped up but he car driver matched my speed forcing the Surefreight driver to stay where he was. Eventually the hgv slowed and got behind me and the car drove off after a lot of beeping of horns and flashes of lights. The surefreight driver came off at the heysham turn off. I did not get either the number plate of the car or truck but I know what would happen next, that car driver will report the Hgv driver when in fact it should be the other way round.
Has anyone else ever seen such reckless driving by a car driver?

15 years driving and thats the first time you have witnessed that type of car driving do you go round with your eyes shut or something it happenens every day boy.If your eyes where open you could of got the car reg and phoned the bizzies.
typical car driving ■■■■■ for some strange reason, they seem to think its fun, they think their boot will stop 44t of artic, they stupidly think we will infact break. they soon ■■■■ off when they realise you dont break id sooner wipe the nob out that risk jack knifing.
sometimes its just easier to ease off, pull in, and let nob head get on with his/her day. if they are in the inside lane and start their games, then read the above, btw fit a forward facing cam
id sooner wipe the nob out that risk jack knifing.
