To be fair I did it the other day. Travelling south on the M1 around junction 28, traffic queueing for about a mile to come off and typical arseholes that are too good to wait using lane 1 and 2 to pass all the traffic so they could squeeze in at the last second

Bloody lane huggers on cruise control in electric cars going slow trying save as much energy as they can, notice the same tosses not using full lights at dawn/dusk for the same reason…

I see it a lot when approaching roadworks or traffic due to road splits E.g the roadworks on M25/A3 and on the M3/A34 junction because idiots will try to cut in front of the queue for the slip road blocking lane 2. TBH I don’t blame them, it’s so frustrating when there’s no traffic in front but some bell end stops dead in lane two because they want to jump the queue!

I know but a few trucks go out into lane three way before the sign for the motorway split as lane three usually moves through the junction much faster.jamexxli wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 1:39 pmm3 at a34 junction goes to 2 lanes for m3 so no issue using outside lanePeteFix wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 1:39 pm I see it a lot when approaching roadworks or traffic due to road splits E.g the roadworks on M25/A3 and on the M3/A34 junction because idiots will try to cut in front of the queue for the slip road blocking lane 2.

how have you come to that conclusion due to me just pointing out the error of your statement? Your comebacks are not improving and lorries aren’t banned from the 3rd lane they’re banned from the outside lane as many parts of the uk have 4 or 5 lanes.

Because of lane hoggers. I do it too and get back in lane quick before I get a fine.
But what's the actual danger of a lorry in the outside lane?
Apart from limited speed which obviously is still faster than the middle lane hoggers.

Well you see these Herberts after joining the motorway at 45mph without checking mirrors or looking over their shoulder, take it upon themselves to carve everyone up to get to lane 3 of 4 and drive at 54/55mph with stiff arms and the 1000 yrd stare, thinking they are the epitomy of everything that is sh**hot behind the wheel of a car. So when you get behind them & flash which as we all know does jacksh**, so you move to lane 2 chill there for 30 seconds (just incase the clown decides it wants to move) then boot it past them (maybe giving them a friendly) BUT then YOU get the obligitory abuse from another Herbert in their skateboard (they look at you as if you have sh*t in their pocket) because YOU DARE to want to actually get to position B on your journey rather than gather dust in lane 3 behind super skateboard driver. If they let us have machine guns behind our headlights (like James Bond) i think this situation could be rectified (just thinking outloud)

All the 50mph roadworks everywhere with lane hoggers sitting in lane 2 doing 35mph seems to be the main reason

Trucks are dangerous in roadworks. The motorway has a 20mph max speed drop for all vehicles. Max speed is 50 due to narrow lanes, construction workers and no safe braking distance. So why do trucks stay at full speed on limiter? The 2 second rule isn't adhered too. Trucks fully loaded on the limiter in the middle lane 10yrds(at most) from vehicles in front. This is the biggest issue on motorways and a big reason why truckers are disliked due to lack of anyone else's safety on that road. You don't own the roads or have any more rights than anyone else yet they constantly drive in a dangerous way. Laws need to be changed as many deaths have occurred on just the M6 and M5 alone due to this. But still you all come on here and rant about people being too slow or leaving gaps ffs
Re: It seems the outside lane on 3 and 4 lane motorways are fair game now in a truck. Daily I see it being used you must
I don't stay on the limiter through the roadworks I also don't tailgate the vehicle in front. When they are hogging middle lane I give them a few flashes of the headlights to try to remind them to move over if they don't if left lane is clear for me to use to pass I stay in left lane if not I stay behind at a safe distance unless they are going below 40 then I will use the outside lane to pass I'm quite happy to have my day in court if stoppedWallis.Robert wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 2:05 pmTrucks are dangerous in roadworks.

I agree there is a lot of bad hgv drivers driving aggressively and tailgating the vehicle in front and speeding through the road works but not all of us do

All trucks should stay in left lane unless overtaking. There should be a timelimit in overtaking, if you can't get passed in 300yrds don't attempt it. On dual carriage ways they should only be permitted to overtake vehicles travelling below 50. Motorway congestion is mainly down to Trucks hogging the middle lane or moving into the middle 3 miles before they have to.

You’re slagging HGV drivers off on a drivers page. I’ve been in the game for 35 years and if I had £5 for every car/van driver who’s moved from lanes 2-4 on motorway to come off an an exit within 100 yds of the exit I wouldn’t driving still. I’d be sitting in the sun in the canaries all year long. Easy to blame trucks for the lack of driving ability on britains roads, when in fact the big danger is car/van drivers who don’t plan for the next manoeuvre.

I do agree there seems to be less respect for HGV drivers not just from cars or vans but other HGVs. I’ve been driving for 30 years and try to give other road users respect, if another lorry is over taking me I will just ease off a little (just a couple of mph) so they can pass by asap, unfortunately I do believe I’m a bit of a rarity in doing this. There are a lot of ass holes out there and they come in all shapes, sizes, genders and age and drive/ride all vehicles, if everyone would just chill and respect other road users driving would be a lot less stressful. With so many self righteous drivers around I just great full to get home!!!

you sound like one of those dicks who reads what they want to see... I'm on motorways more than a HGV driver as I have no tacho in a van and I can categorically say the issue isn't cars or vans it's HGV drivers. They drive with contempt for other road users. I have my HGV and drove between 1996 and 2018 until I went back onto the tools. The way HGV now think they have more rights to the roads than anyone else is sheer arrogance and proves why they abuse the roads.

cool buttercup I've been driving a few years too and the idiots on the roads aren't only lorry drivers it everybody accidents are caused by all drivers keep left unless overtaking is a simple concept and more policing on the roads to get the bad drivers off the road instead of revenue raising cameras is a solutionWallis.Robert wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 2:19 pmyou sound like one of those dicks who reads what they want to see...

The majority of crashes on motorways are caused by tossers in cars and vans ,how many times you see cars jumping queues, pulling straight out of slip roads, undertaking, i agree some HGV drivers are idiots but the majority of car drivers certainly are, on a footnote caravans should only be allowed on motorways between 7pm and 6am and they should have a special licence.Wallis.Robert wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 2:07 pm All trucks should stay in left lane unless overtaking.

why u on here only a professional drivers here when u drive a van ?? Doesn’t make u a professional driver. Drive a wagon for a few weeks (that’s if u can pass the theory tests etc coz looks like u have no brain) and you will be retracting your entire original comment. U should be banned from this forum for coming out with such . stupid car drivers are the issue not HGV. Just coz u have no tacho doesn’t mean ur own the road more than us either. And HGV does have more right to be on the road than any other vehicle. Everything u own or ever consumed has been in an hgv. Everything. Without HGV the country would come to the standstill. And don’t even start me on van drivers. MuppetWallis.Robert wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 2:07 pm All trucks should stay in left lane unless overtaking.

I never break the two second rule, seen too much injury from folk being rear ended.
Have to say, in the main, car drivers are not speed aware.
Add into that most car speedos are 10% under actual speed check ur speedo against ur sat nav reading) so when you think u r doing 50 ur actually doing 45.
5 miles an hour over 9 hours wud leave me 45 Miles short of my destination in a day.
All we ask is that all users follow the highway code.
Make adequate progress ( oo slow is a fail on a driving test)
Keep left unless overtaking ~ especially on motorways.

Probably because car drivers these days are two scared to travel over 50 mph so stick to lanes 1 & 2 , forcing the more braver lorry drivers out into 3 & 4 lol
