still only got 2 more days left to cover!
I'm class 1 HGV also.

why should the truck let off to let the other one overtake? If the truck in lane 1 slows,, then he has to slow even more to put a safe gap between him and the over-taker once he has pulled in, in the mean time, other trucks behind have caught up and have had to go into lane 2 and slow down......all to let 1 truck past?

if you havnt got enough in reserve to get past, dont overtake
