If it is not bad enough getting stuck behind "I pay my road tax and if I want to do 20mph for 20miles I will"
It is the caravan season,I was car 23 in a queue with another 5 behind a sightseeing caravanner who made no attempt to pull over as he should.
Could we praise the caravanners who do pull over on this site to be positive over a prickly
subject

IME it's not totally the fault of the caravanner. Many times I've seen lines of cars behind a caravan and the lead car totally refusing to take even the safest opportunity to overtake.

No these drivers are none of those. They drive so close to the caravan that they can't see to overtake so end up either stuck there or having to take a truely stupid risk to overtake. BTW, what's any of this got to do with wildlife ?

Thats why I liked my harley - til some pratt knocked me off it - 85mph down the outside of the traffic que then zip roond the caravan and shazam miles of empty road in front of him - tasty. Caravans a bikers best freind on the road.
