Ps, caravanners aren’t allowed to complain...they are a massive pain in the arse as well
Bollox , a man trying to make a living has to pull over for someone going on his jollies , you're having a larf .If he had a safe opportunity to pull over and he didn’t then he’s a massive bell end
If he followed him 18 miles I’m sure there was plenty of other traffic behind him too...Bollox , a man trying to make a living has to pull over for someone going on his jollies , you're having a larf .
You're not playing the game , think 3d , if the caravan wasn't behind others would have over taken .If he followed him 18 miles I’m sure there was plenty of other traffic behind him too...
Number plate XX99XXXOther drivers wouldn't see the tractor if there was a caravan in the way Probably loads of people posting on The Caravan Forum "I was stuck behind a bloody caravan for 18 miles today, why didn't he pull over?"
I had to follow a tractor for a bloody long way a few months ago. He wasn't the brightest sort because the name of their business is stencilled very neatly on their machinery and it's impossible to confuse it with anyone else as it is very distinctive.
You have to pull in and let people pass as soon as you can find a safe spot. Trouble is, there are a lot of wanger car drivers who will get impatient and attempt a crazy overtake otherwise.
Doesn't put the industry in a good light.
I had that yesterday - I ended up overtaking 6 vehicles in a line that wouldn't overtake a self propelled sprayer on a straight road with good visibility & no side roads to worry about. I never thought I would be doing that in my clapped out underpowered Fiesta! I only wish I had the dashcam running...Totally agree with this...
But... and there is always a but, don't forget the "nervous overtaker" who needs a 3 mile overtake space to go past a tractor...
The car tucked in behind is just as annoying imoI had that yesterday - I ended up overtaking 6 vehicles in a line that wouldn't overtake a self propelled sprayer on a straight road with good visibility & no side roads to worry about.

And the arseholes that park in the middle of lay-bys so you can’t get in anyway
Don't be a ****, park at the front!Either on the phone or gone to walk the dog
Don't be a ****, park at the front!
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...
