What is it with some lorry drivers that they want to overtake each other but can't because they are each doing their maximum speed?
I got stuck behind two yesterday on a long section of dual carriageway, one was trying to overtake the other but couldn't and they were both side-by-side for several miles with a long line of traffic building up in both lanes before the overtaking one decided to drop back and pull in behind the other one.
Then there was another one tootling along in front of me at only 38mph on a single carriageway section of the same busy road where I had no chance of overtaking, however when he came upon a slow moving tractor further up the road he suddenly found the power to speed up and overtake it and get several hundred yards ahead, though by the time I'd overtaken the tractor the lorry had slowed down again to less than 40mph; I'm sure he was doing it deliberately.
I've always had the greatest respect for lorry drivers and found most of them considerate when I want to overtake and pull in again afterwards but quite frankly some of them are complete a***holes!
