The slow overtaking thing enlighten me

Hammy747:
Had an interesting experience on the M62 earlier today.

Moved over to let a car on, God that was a mistake.

Cue me being stranded in the middle lane for a mile while the yoyo driver in lane 1 matched my speed every time I sped up or eased off. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get past or drop behind them without getting a bit too slow for a motorway ,(got down to 42mph at one point and she still slowed down with me).

The silver car behind me seemed to think this was all my fault, so he sped up, dived in front of me, brakes and sat us both at 45mph. Cue much horn honking and light flashing. Then as quick as he’d done that he started speeding off while waving at me through the window.

And through all of this, the car in lane 1 still wouldn’t let me in behind or in front haha!

Yes, I was trying to get your attention, Hammy. It’s national truck driving waving day!! :smiley: :grimacing:

I got it on dash cam, but nobody here like my first video post so you’ll all have to use your imagination :laughing:

At least he gave me a normal wave, I was at least expecting a two fingered salute or a clenched hand moving up and down rapidly.
