Still sounds selfish to me. Would you like it if cars sat in 2 out of 3 lanes doing 40 and holding you up?

They do anyway! We'll all have to learn to play nicely together!

On the way to work yesterday I was going up the sliproad onto the A12 at around 65mph. As I got near the end of the sliproad the artic which was approaching it moved into the outside lane to let me in. There was no need to as I was going a lot faster than he was, so I assumed he misjudged my speed.
Due to this thread I kept an eye on my rear view mirror to see how things panned out. He stayed on the outside lane for the whole 3 miles until I got to my junction. I have no idea why. I could see a huge line of traffic building up behind him and a long clear stretch of road had developed in front. Bizzarre.  ::)

I got stuck behind 3 cyclists today riding 3 abreast.  ::) They must have heard me come up behind, but did they move over into single file?  ???

Did they hell!  >:( , so they got treated to a cloud of chip shop smelling smoke as I booted down to get past when I had an opportunity!!  ;D
