Blind spots on motorways when traffic is bunched up
Discussion
Posters offered really good advice on my previous question re motorways so here I am again.
When driving on the motorway say in lane 2 or 3, I know you should never hang around a HGV or large vehicle's blind spot, and that you should only use lanes 2 and 3 for overtaking.
However, how do you avoid this in conditions such as poor weather / average speed restrictions etc when traffic is more bunched up and lane 1 is pretty full of HGV's ? How can you avoid being in a lorry's blind spot if you are in lane 2 say, if everyone is travelling at roughly the same speed?
I would really appreciate any pro hints and tips on how to stay safe in these instances.
If you find yourself in a lorry's blind spot in the conditions outlined above, will the lorry have the sense to not move lanes incase there's something in their blind spot?
Or should you hang back at all costs even if it means travelling slightly slower than lane 1?!
TIA
