Totally agree (and as a motorcyclist I'd never be very long at all beside an HGV - you've got air flow issues to deal with as well) but which part of the Law allows you to break the speed limit? Yes, I'm being pedantic but......

As for the "creeper" isn't that what happens through every 50mph (or whatever speed eduction is applied) road works etc. Every lane running at virtually the same speed and inevitably the "safe space" vanishes.

Be careful out there.
