Lorry 1, lane 1 "I can do 55mph"
Lorry 2, lane 2 "I can do 56mph"
Lorry 3, lane 3 "I can do 57mph"
Along comes Reigate Hill on the M25:
Lorry 1,2 & 3 "We can ALL do 45 MPH and block the motorway for hours at a snails pace!!!!"
I see it every day and it pisses me right off!
Mike

My dad tells me that the irish lorry drivers ignore this, they dont care about the speed limit for lorries, ive also seen a few irish lorries giving it some.

lorrys are not allowed to overtake in the fast lane? correct me if im wrong but this is what my instructor said since i saw some moron do it when i did pass plus heading towards london... they can use the slow and middle lanes on motor ways but on dual carriage ways they can use both

Well, its theory...
Don't forget that the M25 has 5 lanes now in places, most of the rest of it has 4...
