Some great advice here - makes me think as I often think I prefer M-ways as you don't have to worry about directions, as long as you know which junction to get off at, but I agree about "bullying" HGV drivers. I know they have deadlines to meet and I know that they are experienced (I think) but I do worry about their field of vision when they are LH drive vehicles and I hate it when one of them tries to overtake another on a hill (!)and the only way past is to brave the fast lane and floor the accelerator! I really don't like going too fast and left to my own devices would be quite happy to tootle along in the inside lane at 60mph which would also be economical on fuel! It is wonderful when there are no or very few lorries as happened at Christmas. In Germany commercial HGVs can't use the Autobahn on Sundays, I understand, what a good idea that would be here.
