Seeing as i just said hi when overtaking i figured it'd be safe to stop and chat at the lights.
Simply said 'excuse me sir, but don't you think it was a little irresponsible taking your chaps down the inside like that? There was plenty of space on the right and you guys wouldn't all be bunched up in a line down his left' - no sarcasm or anything, just asked the question in a friendly way.
Cue sour look from leader and confusion on the face of the others. Light changes, i shrug my shoulders and cut left onto amhurst and pottle off. Were nowhere to be seen at next lights so i guess they were going straight over or right. The skip truck did turn left however as it overtook me a little way down amhurst(left me shitloads of room actually).
Kinda worried that no-ones told em its dangerous down that side. Can't remember if theres a little green death lane on that juntion or not :/
