On the road today

[Fortyplus]

I had the pleasure today of following a tractor for 18 miles not once did he pull over to let people past , admittedly I was towing a caravan but come on it doesn't do our industry any favors holding our customers up for so long !!!
So if you were the driver of John Deere HN18 PXY towing a claas rake from Yarnbrook to East Knoyle please be a bit more considerate...

That's ridiculous, but was there anywhere suitable to pull over?
I went 12 miles once and every lay by had something in it that made it so I couldn't pull over.

Did you pull over to allow the cars behind you to pass you so they had a better chance of passing the tractor?

Well done for putting the plate up. These pr1cks that fail to see that the stack of cars behind them are keeping them in their jobs boils my p1ss!
No wonder everyone hates farmers!

Stuck in his own little world thinking he’s important , no your not

Shouldn't have put the plate up, totally unfair, we are only hearing one side of the story.

Good job I've never been stuck behind a caravan ....

Given the location I dare say a few people might well know who that was. Wouldn't like to have been behind the chopper heading in the opposite direction to me this morning...

I travel 6 miles along a major A road. Pulled in 3 times. Took me longer to wait to pull out again then if I had just driven on.

Of course it could have been that he could only see a caravaner....

Was there nowhere you could overtake, I get cars following me on me bike as if I'm 12 ft wide

 

[bobk]

There not mine

They're not mine either .

 

[betweenthelines]

Fecking heard everything now, a caravanner complaining about being delayed by a slow vehicle!

What next, taxi drivers and cyclists moaning about people who ignore the Highway Code?

If he had a safe opportunity to pull over and he didn’t then he’s a massive bell end
