Had an artic following me, speed bumps and a 30mph limit means we're roughly doing the same speed through an industrial estate. There is a long long straight so I wave him past, he has all the time in the world, but decides to stay close behind me. I'm thinking OK, patient driver, perhaps turning off soon, etc. No. He/she waits until a short section immediately before a roundabout, a central divide and drain covers means I am squeezed between him and the drains. Bloody close. Didn't take the reg.
I should have stayed primary, I really didn't expect it to pass at that point.
