Sainsbury's Lorries Today - Sloooooooow
Discussion
I've had the displeasure of coming to work in Luton today which involves M25 and M1, and on the journey up on 3 ocassions (each 15-20 miles apart so not a convoy) traffic all started slowing down for no apparent reason and brake lights in most lanes with lorries elephant racing in 3 of the 4 lanes etc.
And each time the culprit was a Sainbury's lorry (not the articulated kind but the long ish ones attached to a cab) all doing between 45 and 50mph - I'm guessing they'd be restricted to 62mph anyway (?) but these were driving painfully slowly in comparison to the rest of the traffic and causing jams, but equally surprising all other lorries (including other supermarkets) were driving at more normal speeds.
Is today 'save Sainsbury's some fuel by driving slowly day', a new strategy by them to cut costs or completely coincidental ?
