[QUOTE=BolshieBastard;2178319]Anyone who drives at 40mph on a dual carriageway where the national speed limit applies (look it up) and more so on a motorway shouldnt be driving on those roads.
Id venture to say they shouldnt be driving full stop if they are that timid or not capable of driving over 40mph.
/QUOTE]
Don't need to look it up as it's 70.
I actually understand the frustration of the lorry driver as I've been stuck behind mopeds doing well under the speed limit.
And I actually agree with you. If you can't keep up with fast traffic on those roads then don't go on them.

I've actually been on dual carriageways and let the poor lorry drivers out.

Ive told my wife and kids under no circumstances to drive at less than 60 on a motorway else they'll be in amongst HGV's. Obvious exceptions are when speed restrictions dictate a lower speed limit.

In the case of the car driver, it's a shame no one else had a dashcam on to show a middle lane hogger in action.

This sounds like a CUK person who spotted someone standing on the wrong side of the escalator and decided to get CUK vengeance...

In a similar way contractors who described the offshore mob as clearly not paying their fair share are now moaning wildly at the PSC changes. Even though 90% of the great unwashed would agree with HMRC.

Oh I forgot. Its general. Start a lynch mob. And driving too slowly probably means doing less than a ton....

HGV's are limited to 60 mph on a motorway and should be fitted with mechanical limiters that actually restrict them to 56 mph. That lorry overtook with no real trouble and the car looks like it's doing about 50. It certainly wasn't gaining on the truck in front in the inside lane.
No excuse for the lorry hitting him, but he was driving like a knob in the middle lane.
