Yeah but as a lorry driver you do realise you to have to share the road, why don't you not overtake at 0.5mph for instance, just do the same speed until you can complete a swift overtake.
I do try to stick with the faster lorries though ones doing the full 60.
I use Smart Cruise Control to follow lorries and I try and choose lorries driving at 60mph.
I have a hybrid so I am trying to get good mph especially now that the cost is ridiculously high and it’s a lot safer staying away from other drivers who can’t drive less than 80mph.
I had a lorry that was that close to me today that I could see the driver clearly and there was no way I could see his number plate.
Just because I wasn’t driving 61.5 mph he wasn’t going to move and I had to.
What is the problem with trucks where they can intimidate car drivers and get away with it. He was lucky I didn’t have a camera because I would be sending the footage to the police.
I am now seriously considering buying a camera as we don’t have any police presence and they are normally not interested unless I have an injury if I’m in an accident.
FFS! What is up with people in vehicles.
Personally I think we should have a mental check and a medical every year. It should be a privilege and a gained skill to drive on the road and not an expected right of pass when you get to 17 years old.
More lessons by a qualified driver and motorway lessons, night driving and advanced lessons.
If lessons become expensive because you need at least 30 certified instructors lessons, then you can’t own a car. Simple.
I will get some people responding quite negatively but it needs to be brought up about other drivers who don’t consider others on the road, anywhere.
Even if you wanted to drive at the local speed limit, you are on your own.
Not many drivers want to drive 30mph. That’s what you do in your lessons and test and you passed driving safely. Why can’t you do this after.
It’s cool to drive up someone’s rear end and intimidate and push people to their comfortable limits.
I urge a response but I also urge drivers to be considerate, not only in a vehicle but generally.
