Hi I am 37

Andy.

You must have gone to school with my bros then!  What's your surname? 

Ali

Hi Ali,My surname is Carpenter whats yours.

If your brothers are twins then I know them.

Andy.

Hi Andy, I only have one brother, Chris Hall.  I remember your surname though!  You were in his year with Jason Young, Jamie Rogers, Paul O'Brien etc!

Bigdrake, it was about the M5 smash but we digressed!  Is that a problem?

I was towing Northbound on the M5 last Sunday.  Even at the max. allowed 60mph, it's amazing how many caravans overtook us; a few artic's too!

I remember, some time ago, lorry drivers complaining that motorists often cut in front of them and cause loss of their stopping distance.   Well, a few lorry drivers did just that to me.   When a long vehicle overtakes me, I wait until he has gone beyond my stopping distance, then flash that he is clear to move in.  Some do not wait for that, and sometimes come in too early for safety.

I am sure these people are a minority.  To the good lorry drivers, who may also be caravanners and visit this web site, "thanks for your consideration".   To the others, "please realise we need the same clear road as yourselves - it is possible that you have contributed to accidents involving caravans by cutting in too soon.

Safe motoring to everyone, regardless of vehicle type.

Bertie.
