He might pull out anyway so I’d hang back, plus if you’ve seen him gaining on the vehicle in lane one, let off a little to let him out… half the time he won’t pull out though so you just sit there like a lemon.

My skip wagon does 56mph. But I drive it at 50 mph. I do that because I end up surrounded by trucks and can pretend I’m a trucker who has friends.

. I also get to flash overtaking drivers in who use their indicators to acknowledge my kindness when I flash them in. ROGER “D”…10 4 good buddies.

This happened to me once in the 1980s. And only once. We were sleeping in day cabs up to 3 nights a week. No sleeper cab or night heater. The cabs back then were small on British trucks. See photo.
