If only the overtaken vehicle would flash it lights to say you were clear to pull back in, but in my (short) experience many do not bother.

I always flash my lights when a lorry overtakes us, but I find it doesn't always happen the other way around.

I wonder if some lorry drivers just don't like caravans !

Its worse when a lorry driver does not wait until he is past you before pulling in believe me this happened to me in France. I was going up a long hill in France with the cruise control on doing 90 kmh when a lorry came up level just got half the vehicle length past me and then ran out of steam as the hill steepened he then just pulled over I had to brake hard and pull hard over to the right onto the hard shoulder otherwise he would have wiped the side of the car out.

I use the M54 daily for travel to work. As a route to Wales, it is popular with caravannners, I am surprised at thge number you see without towing mirrors.

Yes some have big MPVs or 4x4s but it is still a legal requirement I believe?

We have a big Sorento, which has nice big mirrors, but we always use towing mirrors because you can see better behind!
