The ones at night sitting in the middle lane at 40mph, with full beams on, and fog lights all round.
The ones who overtake me at a normal speed, then once they’re about 10 ft past me, slow and match my speed, sometimes drifting into my lane. I often see they’re fiddling with their phone.
And I don’t like the ones in the early hours who sit 6ft from my back door, for miles on end, on an empty motorway, and won’t overtake, no matter how many clicks I knock off. Gets me nervous.
Totally agree with this one, happens here in France too. Why do they do that?
I’m with you on slowing down, even to the point of braking hard to show them that I don’t want them there. If I’m approaching an exit I think, Hmmm they’re being safe , not overtaking then cutting in in front to exit, but if they’re still there after the junction then it’s a case of Flick off and go round me !!!
I had one last night, couldn’t shake him off. In the end I just came off the motorway and rejoined.
Years ago, I was coming up the M1, and this car had been closely behind me for miles round the M25, and wouldn’t overtake no matter how much I slowed. There were long-term roadworks back then, and as I approached J10 (I think) the left lane was only for J10. So I moved over, but intended to move back again to carry on the M1. As I moved over, so did he. So I left it until the last possible second and when by the chevrons I flicked myself back onto the M1. So did he. That’s the time I got most worried as I was convinced I was going to get truck-jacked. So I decided to pull into Toddington and sail through there, and back out again where the little police station is, and stop there to sort it out. As I pulled off the motoway, he just carried on.

Suspect some might be running on some kindof auto cruise control if cars have that now and the rest are playing “stare at the nice red lights for comfort” game.
As for car types, any van doing less than 55mph in motorway roadworks. They defo on the phone.

Anyone with a sat nav stuck to the windscreen in their eyeline. Especially if it’s on daytime colours at night. Nothing screams ■■■■ more than that
Any cars with a transvestite in it who have their interior light on and proceed to overtake you, come off at next junction only to rejoin the motorway and follow you. That was a weird night on the m40 about about 7 years ago and I’m still scarred. Stay away from the ■■■■■■ cars.
anything tho usually a people carrier of some sort being driven by a large lady in a floral print dress wearing something resembling a fruit bowl on her head it will undoubtedly be filled with all her brood and be plastered in stickers for the holymountian fifth adventist church or something similar closely followed by a similar vehicle containing several females wearing the full burka who will have the directional control of a drunken rabbit both are usually prevalent around school start and finish times

You’ve just reminded me of something that happened to me years ago, 20ish, near Nottingham when I was doing nights. Car kept passing me on a DC then slowing down so I went past. The second occasion I looked down as ‘it’ passed to see a ‘woman’ playing with ‘her’ ■■■■ [emoji23]
