Truckers - how can you justify...
Discussion
M4, 17:15, rush hour, J19 - J18 (Bristol to Bath). Heavy going, 50-60mph tops. So why the f
k do you think you can justify taking the opportunity to make a 2 mile overtaking crawl manouvre and hold up dozens of other people into the bargain?
Nearly as bad as when you decide that you are in charge of the flow of traffic when 2 lanes merge into one and block 3/4 mile of empty lane. We can MERGE IN TURN you moron.
AAAAARGHHHHH!

truckers pay there road tax alot more than tax i think most posters on here are very selfish
Wading through the tortuous prose (not to mention spelling, punctuation, grammar and construction) I believe that you are arguing that because lorries attract higher VED than cars, their drivers (many of whom are employees, not owners) have the right to do what the OP objected to. They don't! - Streaky

How the hell am I supposed to get to my destination on time stuck behind another truck with a strict limiter. Try driving a truck first and then come back.

Leave earlier?However if you left earlier it wouldn't matter if you had to slow to let me pass, would it? Or you can write to your local M.P and say 55/56 or maybe 58 MPH is to slow for a truck.

It works (the annoying bit that is). I no longer make allowances for them either any more. Maybe a blanket overtaking ban should be considered now they are limited to 56 mph and an overtake will not generate more progress.
If they do that i expect the tax on the trucks to drop dramatically then, thus increasing car tax to find the lost revenue for the tax, want to pay more car tax then? Or what about if I'm stuck behind an old truck with a heavy load which is doing 40 ish, I can't overtake meaning lane 1 becomes a convoy of about 50 trucks, thus rendering leaving or joining the dual carriage way impossible. What a great idea.

Leave earlier?Sadly the fact this is becoming more common means that decent truck drivers will suffer when i am around as i simply wont be considerate towards them as there appear to be more inconsiderate drivers than considerate.
