Tailgating with a 44-tonne lorry

[Lum]

He wasn't just tailgating, he was actually touching/pushing the car, I don't think trying to move out of the way would have ended well.

Any idea how long she was pushed for, if it was through two SPECS cameras reckon she'll get a speeding ticket as well?

And Eastern European lorry? Probably has the old fashioned style limiter that stops working when the fuse mysteriously blows. I've met more than one trade plater that keeps a selection of blown fuses with them for doing lorry work, though it's less common these days now that the limiters are getting more sophisticated (probably built into the ECU, I guess)

I've been overtaken on the M6 before on the long downhill bit past J1 at Rugby by an eastern European truck before. I was doing 70. :|

Yank truckers are funny, they overtake all day long at 80+.

if he wasn't behind the wheel then who was? Santa Claus?

LOL!

I dont know why people do this, what a complete plank.

Isnt it against the law for HGV, LGV, PCV, Trailors etc to go in the overtaking lane?

 

[Justintime]

Theres a simple explanation here: he was hiding his number plate from the specs cameras

No, its illegal for them to be in the outside lane. The middle lane and outside lanes are both overtaking lanes.

Except on the M602 around Leeds

Of a three lane motorway, yes, on a two lane Motorway (M54 for example) HGV's can use the "outside lane".

Not that this seems to make much difference in some cases - as above

Incidentally, what are the regulations concerning coaches and buses - e.g. National Express coaches.

Quite.

Not too sure about Coaches, I know they go faster than HGV's and tend to 3rd lane a lot.....

 

[Nightmare]

Coaches are limited to 62mph (100kph) and are not allowed in the 3rd lane.

Ah! Cheers.

Not too many Coach drivers seem to know of or, pay attention to the 3rd lane rule.
