Three Abreast
We returned from a stay at Pembrey Country Park club site last Sunday, travelling along the M4 Motorway at Cardiff, we were climbing a fairly long steady hill, we were behind another van on the middle lane overtaking a lorry on the inside lane, the caravan
in front I felt was struggling a bit, doing about 50miles per hour, but eventually he passed the lorry and pulled over to the inside lane, I then continued on the middle lane to overtake him doing 60MPH. Low and behold there appears from behind me another
caravan on the outside lane who obviously didn't feel I was going fast enough and hadn't been able to see that I was actually waiting for the van in front of me to pull over, so there we are 3 caravans abreast with the guy on the ouside lane having to exceed
70MPH ! to overtake me, his caravan was snaking wildly, I must say that I was quite frightened when I think about what could have happened, this idiot could have quite easily wiped all three units out. I can now see why lorry drivers have such a low opinion
of caravans when you have people like this who have a total dis-regard for the law of the road.
