Is a three point turn legal in Ohio?
Try moving over to the outside lane and use the motorway correctly! They have speed limiters on them and cant go about 56mph and can only use two lanes. Life is hard, and very frustrating, for lorry drivers!Sometimes its not their fault, the wagon in front of them could have slowed down suddenly and the only way they can stop from crashing into them is to pull into the next lane. Even though you are going faster than them do proceed with caution at all times because lorries can't stop as fast as what you can.

You have to remember it's their job, and if they cannot overtake at a given moment then it could take them 4 to 5 miles to get up to speed again. They can actually only do 60 mph unless it's an overseas lorry they sometimes don't have a limiter. Oh and just bear in mind the A1 is one of the most dangerous roads in Britain, especially where there is only 2 lanes.
