My issue is primarily with the practice on 2-lane carriageways e.g. much of the A14.
I am only singling out lorry drivers because on roads like the A14 it is lorries that cause most of the issues of the type we are discussing. Fortunately, we do not get the same volume of Honda Jazz drivers on their way to Felixstowe.

Simon says momentum. We drivers call it flow. We look around and into th distance more than th average driver and try to keep th flow going.
MSS sounds prejudice toward lorry's and i think it says more about him than lorry drivers on his precious journey that as been slightly slowed. Were in th high way code does it say lorry's carnt over take. Maybe if he took up a HGV licence he could be more educated in th most legislated business in th UK..
