Lorries restricted to 59mph or whatever it is, really boil my p*ss when they overtake another restricted vehicle on a dual carriageway

It might feel like aeons, but in reality it tends to take a couple of minutes.
Where do you need to get to so quickly that a couple of minutes makes such a big difference?

I think I'm getting 3 for my efforts on Friday heading to Walsall - 2 weeks of nervous waiting

Got just a little fed up wit the cameras tonight though - dual carriageway, arrow straight, wide and well separated from the other lanes and nothing but sodding cameras!

Hopefuly it's a nil point experience for all involved though

I'm guessing it's not about the getting somewhere in a hurry but the interruption to your smooth journey/momentum.

Ooo err! Hopefully none!

I was flashed the other day, but it was because of an ambulance speeding through in the opposite direction. I was stuck in traffic on the other side so made sure when the camera did flash I was pulling a funny face

Don't know the road in question, but I'm regulalry held up many minutes, and all it would take is the overtaken lorry to back off 1 or 2 mph for a few seconds, but no

Record is 12 miles on the M11. At 56mph that's about 13 minutes...

Reigate Hill on the M25 is always an example of stupidity by drivers. It's four lanes of motorway due to the weight of traffic, and it is such a regular occurrence to see 3 lorries side-by-side, struggling up the hill, dropping below 40-50mph, and all the cars being forced into the outside lane. Only good thing to come from it is when you get the other side of the lorries very, very few cars start going back to their normal lane, they stick in the right at around 60. Drop left a couple of lanes to give you a safety margin (and of course because you're following strict lane discipline), foot down to bring you up to 70(ish) and it's plain sailing past loads of cars.

Didn't you know, there's children to be run over and kittens to be strangled!

Prepare to the ****ed by the long dick of the law.

I reckon 3 at least. Maybe 6.

Either that or slow down in front of those lorries so they have to change up about 8 gears.
