geared Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 "I got it on camera, yeah". Talking to : I think he was a truckers mate??? Could be wrong, but he looked to be sat alittle too far to the left to be the driver. Apparently the technique the police used is a common trick used by traffic officers to encourage lane hogs to move. It's used often by unmarked cars who need to 'make some ground' without attracting much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 What technique? Flashing their lights? Surely that's common to anyone who's being held up by a lane hog? It's just a shame the rest of us can't flash the blues and twos and arrest them when they pull the breaking stunt instead of moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going faster and don't impede anyone else, then why should they speed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 He gave him several chances to get out of the way, and the idiot did exactly what a few posters are advising or claiming to do on another thread at the moment, and presumably paid the price. The A61? I didn't realise it had three lanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sorry I'll explain in a little more detail, the lorry say is doing 55mph, the car is doing 58 mph, they then pull out into what is usually a faster moving flow of traffic say doing 70 mph but they don't accelerate so the middle lane has to slow down. I know you could indicate and pull out into the fast lane but my elderly cars didn't like doing that as you could be garanteed somebody doing 80 plus will zoom up behind you.
