Do you think drivers behave differently when they see a motorhome??

Bit of a rant incoming ,

So we were away last night not too far as we could only go for the one night , on our way home today we had 3 instances of stupid driving by other motorists ,

we were coming through a village plodding along doing the speed limit and a car pulls out just as we were approaching i had to brake causing everything in the fridge to move about ,

We kept motoring and we were on the main road just after coming through a town doing about 70kmph and a truck with a milk tanker went about crossing the road in front of us ! i had to swerve to go around him , i dunno is it the heat driving them mad or what but id never seen it so bad , the three instances happened on an hours drive home ,

Maybe they percieve us as being slow on the road and dont realise we need breaking time with the weight up behind us , granted i wouldnt often do 100kmph but try to keep it at the 90kmph unless going up a hill ( noone can help us there )

Be careful out there folks !

I drive mine like I'm carrying a giant load of eggs in the back. I can do fast or slow as is necessary, but I gotta be smooth on the ABS
Accelerator
Brakes &
Steering

If you expect the unexpected and are smooth on the A B & S you'll be ok.

I drive as I would an HGV, smooth with plenty of braking distance and treat every other driver as an idiot.... On motorways I sit at about 65-68mph, cruise control on, our current one seems happy at that.

Suppose I am used to it now having been a "tugger" for over 35 years I expect every dam toerag to just pull out in front of me or overtake even when I am upto the speed limit. Think it is the Clarkson effect
Sod it, yesterday driving down a wide road near home solo in the Lexus 30mph speed limit doing 30ish two speed cameras within 800 yards of each over overtaken twice both time they passed doing god knows what speed to slap brakes on just before camera right in front of me so I had too, so maybe it just that there are a load more idiots on the road who have no manners in fact I know they have no manners with the hand signals you get from a lot of them. Rant dun

Sorry, I just can't see it.

Try riding a Honda step-thru with a flourescent orange flag, extra running lights while wearing a yellow high viz jacket.

Gonna get a Stebel Nautilus air-horn.

They're too busy texting.

Invisible? Quite the contrary, they see me perfectly clear and they decide to just pull out in front of me as if I was doing 5km/h where I'm actually doing the speed limit.

Also, multiple times people not looking ahead and doing the impossible to overtake us where the traffic is well jammed all the way up by something else. I've seen very risky maneuvers pulled by car drivers where people in both directions have to brake in order not to crash.

All to meet them in the next toll or petrol station...

Look out for a houligan around Maghera driving a wee focus van (he drive that last van, A lovely berlingo into the ground) you might even hear Tommy K by Mike Denver or Tuam beat by Micgael English on the tape recorder thumping away ......I have no need to mention his name

yes, there were a lot of idiots on the road this weekend, i came across a few going to and coming back from body and soul. i just let them get on with it.
