GreenGiant 287 Posted June 19, 2015 Just a quickie this time (ooer, missus!) and apologies if it sounds a bit like a Viz magazine Top Tip.Mr Lorry Driver - your truck is fitted with a 56mph speed limiter. So is the truck that you are trying to overtake. You are both going flat out and are on a two lane dual carriageway (A419 north of Swindon, for those who care). You can't go any faster. He ain't slowing down for you. The approx 200 cars behind you can go faster than both of you.Give up and get the *%@k out of the way please.That is all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil H 124 Posted June 19, 2015 fair point GG, in an ideal world to solve this problem all you need to do is get a nitro button fitted for overtaking that can only be used once an hour for situations like this then the problems sorted. But then again what's an ideal world another rant for another week maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Baggott 227 Posted June 22, 2015 I literally hate this more than anything on the roads. Trucks should be banned from overtaking on dual carriageways at speeds over 40mph. That way they can pass tractors etc, but other HGVs at 1mph difference is stupid. They need to stop being so bleeding selfish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
