Either way, a truck on a single carriageway road is not meant to go over 50mph.
It was a container lorry.
The motorway was 2 lanes in each direction.
I was surprised at his speed. After he had overtaken myself and Mr Slowly in front of me 'Slow' accelerated to a steady 60MPH, but the truck was still pulling away from us both gradually.
I stayed back, reluctant to get alongside him. It was only a few miles to my turn-off and you never know what someone like that is going to do, do you.
