On the back of the 10 minutes thread, about said blokey being held up by 10minutes due to two HGVs overtaking, I'd like to share my experiences today,

I was travelling back from Inverkeithing to Aberdeen in my truck, just north of Dundee I come across a Volvo Saloon doing 51mph in the inside lane, so I pull out to pass it, half way past he speeds up so I can't get by and I pull in, again I catch him and go to pass again, this time on a downhill stretch, just as I'm about to complete the manoeuvre he does exactly the same thing, this happened a further twice at which point I was forced to sit at 51mph behind this fktard!!!!

Now before anyone says it was him getting my own back on me for elephant racing, the only trucks I passed between Inverkeithing and Dundee were supermarket trucks limited to 50mph so there was none carried out

This travelling at 50mph on the inside lane of a DC is getting more common and so is the speeding up when an HGV passes, 2nd time it's happened to me in as many months

If twits like this get in the way they should be rammed off the road. Slightly different but my commute to work involves a good few miles on the A418; I hate nothing more than seeing a car holding up an HGV. It's the same on motorways; a lorry should not be held up by a car.

Just don't bother moving into lane 2 next time, that'll learn 'im.
