Why is it that a BP tanker, truck and trailer unit, can pull over regularly enough to have no more than 2-4 vehicles behind him but lady in suzuki swift has 15ish and can't/won't pull over

Heh. Don't you love em, dawdling along, King of the road, not a shit being given that day in a little world of their own.
If I'm in the van I feel thankful that they are saving me petrol, if I'm on the bike I like to see the little swerve they do when I overtake much to their surprise & chagrin.

The 'takas are double yellow lines the whole way over and there are no overtaking lanes on the downward legs. There are literally tens of spots bikes can safely overtake slow vehicles, but there has been an increased police presence frowning on the practice.
It isn't worth getting worked up over, but I do wish I could shoot flaming balls of hatred up their exhaust pipes. These are usually the people who claim they've never hurt anyone, never deliberately caused anyone else harm, but are incapable of performing simple courtesies during the course of their day as they are firm believers in people taking responsibility for their own issues. Those people timidly driving over a short stretch of twisty road are responsible for run away consumerism, the excesses of capitalism and the wholesale acceptance of vegetarianism as a norm instead of the vile heresy it is.
Burn them. Burn their progeny. Burn their houses, their clothes, their potted perennials and their reusable hessian shopping bags.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

He wasn't complaining about them, he was wondering why B trains, artics, and a tanker with a trailer can park in an overtaking bay on the 'takas, but some overdressed bint on a mission to buy a new handbag from Adore in Greytown, in a Suzuki Swift, is incapable of doing the same and then claims there was nowhere to stop when asked.Originally Posted by JimO
I've had truckies wedge themselves into impossible places and pull way over to the left so I don't have to cross the double yellows to get by. 99% of truckies are considerate road users. 99% of people in and on other vehicles are the cunts you speak of.

50% of these people think the people behind them ought to just "be patient", and think they are just "being safe" (and others are "being unsafe" for passing).
(see: letters to the editor of the Dominion).
The other 50% of these people are not even aware of the cue of frustrated drivers behind them.
(see: the shock I once saw on the face of the lady behind me, who seemed to be trying to pass me as I drove onto the shoulder, when she finally noticed the ambulance up her arse.)
(80% of statistics are made up.)
I do find fewer trucks piss me off than cars. And trucks can't help the speeds they are legally limited to.

Its because truckers often realise that there are other road users that may be faster than themselves, where as the "I don't need to go 100kmph, so therefore everyone else doesn't need to either" brigade (Trust me, this is often their logic), or "I'm not in a rush, but its rude for you to pass me" think that because thats the speed I feel 'safe' at, than all other road users are dangerous at higher speeds (Again, these are real debates I've had with people)
Also, forward tunnel vision - those that don't even realise they should look behind themselves

The solution is to buy a 1000. You can get past them, merge back and slow back down so quick they will wonder what just happened was.

You don't need a thou' for that.

I could pass most on a 50cc scooter, but just not legally,
The problem is I like my license and have no intention of making any donations to Gerry Brownlee

I was following a people mover down there on the wairarapa side a few weeks ago, every time we approached one of the "safe for bikes to overtake" areas he would veer over into the oncoming lane a little. At first I thought he was drunk or something and kept back to avoid the inevitable crash. When I realised he was just an arsehole I overtook where there was a passing lane on the other side, when I looked in my mirror he was completely in the other lane having veered out as I went past to try and stop me! Looked to be about 60 ish with a vehicle full of people... Must really hate to be overtaken I guess?
On the same day I had multiple people pull over to allow me to pass often older people with big smiles on their faces as I went past. Glad the good ones outnumber the dicks!

That's the sound of a thou overtaking a Britz camper van. What of it?
