What about if I’m fully loaded @ 44t and get a fuel bonus?
If I pull out of the way, by time I’m back upto 40, I’ve got another queue of the same size behind me and lost 10 litres of fuel for [zb] all.
I’ll sit inside the solid white line on the straight bits to allow people to see round and pass, I’ll indicate if I can see it’s clear for a while and I’ll stick to 40 in the duals to let people pass, but I’m not going to pull over.
Wasting your time with them Wayne, most of them that drive that road think its ok to drive like a ■■■■. You won’t convince them otherwise. I’ve had some very near misses on that road. Best place for most of them is the hedges where they end up.
that road separates the men from the boys if you cant keep the pace up then your gonna get ■■■■■■ up the arse by the big power v8 men

Thats your take on it mikey, i’m quite capable of doing it and so are most others. The road does not seperate men from boys. It seperates dicks who need to run like hell and sod everyone else to make a wage from the ones who don’t. It didn’t take me many trips down it to learn to indicate right for fun and move over just as a flier was coming !!! But i guess we all have our own sense of humour.
Almost everyone on that road i had a barney with reminded me of ‘Jim’ from Coronation Street, and exactly like Luke described them too , in them smooth boots and shirts.

the superhamptons are quite a heavy boot when drilled on the throttle they find it quite hard to lift it i think
I watched it and the second part. I smiled when it said we slowed to 50mph for some reason or other and thought plastic V8 drivers, its flat to the mat or not !!!
I’m now happy for you all to do a ton on it, i live no where near it and i don’t drive it. Last time i was down it was ten years ago. I never percieved speed itself as an issue anyway.
i was on the a75 today, only as far as dumfries though.
i was stuck behind another hgv doing the speed limit both ways, well not stuck exactly just not bothered by it. i normally go a bit faster but 40 is a nice relaxing drive along there anyway.
i read this thread last night and could picture the steam coming from the lugs of the brothheads in their bling mobiles behind.
the a75 is a lovely road spoilt by nitwits.

Not me this time.
That was a regular run for me, hence the comments, but I quit and start a different job on Monday, so I can’t get blamed for that 1

think a gas bottle in the cab exploded, if the story doing the rounds was true, which made the fire particularly bad.
