[arriba baiting]
We call them lorry drivers...
[/arriba baiting]
 Good lorry drivers slow down a bit to let the overtaking lorry-coach etc pass and let traffic flow. |

Agreed I was stuck behind a HGV on the A42 yesterday for over 7 miles as he struggled to get past another HGV Now that pissed me off a little |

The best thing lorry drivers ever do is when dual carriageways narrow down to one lane and two drivers sit parallel to one another so people can't cut in at the last minute. The A40 around Witney is a good example of this.

Definitely. I like it when they do that and would do the same thing in their position. |

I'm not sure taking miles to overtake along the A34 constitutes a "few seconds" |

This countries justice system.
Someone who wants to kill lots of people and cause massive devastation only gets imprisoned for 15 years.
What happens when this person gets out? He's going to be even more mad!

I've just ended up paying £4.80 for a pint of beer. It was a lovely pint (Meantime Brewery's London Pale Ale, if you're interested). But £4.80 is taking the piss.

I do that on the a419 when you get to roundabout up by Nettleton (or whatever it's called) pull out into overtaking lane, stay parallel with car in front and watch the traffic ahead of me start to move along. Car drivers behind go mental, wankers. |

Ha, yeah. I go that way every day to work. That roundabout is a pain in the arse, I get stuck there every morning, but I do get pleasure from not letting some wanker in from the right hand lane. I got a "thumbs up" from a Merc driver yesterday morning that I refused to let in front of me |

I had a dick in a Merc nearly take me out at the Hilton junction today where the road goes from 3 lanes to 2. Saw him coming from miles back in the mirror, expected him to pull in behind me but he proceeded to try and overtake after the lanes merge and very nearly sideswiped me.
I hoped to catch up with him after that to give him a piece of my mind, but I was doing 70 down the dual carriageway and he disappeared into the distance.
