This idiot dives across from lane 3 to the services slip road after the 100yd marker. Good job I already had my foot on the brake pedal.

Old post I know, but I'm sure there are even more idiots without caravans that do exactly the same thing. I know I've seen plenty whilst towing a caravan. Pulling out from a slip lane, making no attempt to speed up to match with the traffic, until they've pulled in to the left lane, then accelerating away.

I used to pull into lane 2 to allow entry from a filter lane, whilst pulling my caravan, until a car driver thought it was a good idea, to undertake me dangerously, because he couldn't spare a couple of seconds, for me to pull back into lane 1, leaving me stranded in lane 2. I never pull out now, I stay in lane 1 and they have to adjust their speed, to fit in with mine.

I'm sticking my two penneth in for the sake of it, firstly it can be in the third lane where its a four lane carriageway, but not when its a three lane carriageway, also its restricted to 60mph, so I'm guessing its probably speeding, no matter what age a driver is, its not an excuse for bad and or dangerous driving, this manoeuvre was naive and dangerous, far too late to decide to come off.

@rogersmith5167 2 ай бұрын

The caravan was behind the truck , aren't trucks limited to 56mph and did the white van coming through on the inside create the situation by not allowing him to get over more safely, a lot of anomalies in that situation personally I would have gone for the next junction.

Whilst towing a caravan or any trailer your only permitted to use lane 1 and to use lane 2 for passing slower traffic. In the UK the trailer towing speed limit for motorways was raised from 50mph. To 60 mph. This one looks to be doing more than 60 mph to be out in the 3rd lane, hard to tell the speed when there could be a restriction running.
