But if they are in front you can control your situation by observing what they do and dropping back if needed etc
Really annoys me when I leave myself a gap in front just incase and then some idiot has to zip into it thinking it’s a space for them Rrrrrrrrr
Annoying ain’t? Imagine what LGV drivers have to put with then, I drove 7.5tonne trucks for a short time, leave a long braking distance and it’s an invitation for that space to be taken. Considering this was a PSA announcement it’ll go on longer than the motorway closure.
5 years of driving in Napoli and Paris cured me of any issues with people’s driving. So long as nobody gets killed/injured I don’t care what people do. Whizz down the empty lane of a big queue? Let them in. No skin off my nose if they want to do that. Who cares? Tailgating? Pull over or speed up. Who cares? Saves on a lot of stress or heartache. Chill.
Theres no point being racey in a car. Better to just chill. Adaptive cruise control is nice. Set the gap and relax. I drive a van and I'm in no hurry. However, I will tut and mumble wanker at the odd fellow now and again. Lane jumpers are silly. I see no point. Over the years Ive learnt you may as well just stay in your lane in heavy traffic. Its easier and more often than not, quicker. I find it mildly entertaining to watch the daft things people do, whilst adding my own commentary.
I’ve not found now I drive at 105kph as my maximum cruise control that my journey times are any much longer than they were when I was tear arsing up and down motorways trying to get to a job early home quicker. Plus I’m certainly more relaxed when I get home, like you I just stay in lane in heavy traffic.
