Nope, percentage of trailer earnings, but the time taken at 87 instead of 90 is negligible. Not enough time to get an extra load in at the end of the week, so no problem. Work gets done and I’m fat and happy :sunglasses:

The Sarge:
Coz I can stay in Lane 1 most of the time (fat and happy) and have an extra couple of clicks on hand if I need them. At 90 I’m catching (slowly) other wagons and having to either drop back or overtake them (slowly) :grimacing:

Same here if I’m not in a hurry I’ll set the cc to 85 I’m not into elephant racing or looking at the back doors of a trailer for miles on end.

I know it considered polite but I don’t take notice of those who flash after I pass them, half the time they are not right anyway. I rely on my knowledge and sight and move in when I am well clear, in daylight it’s easy, just look at the shadows in your mirror and see when you are clear, otherwise just look for when you are well clear.
