Why do lorries try to overtake on hills?
2 options: One, it doesn’t matter about the hill – Lorries are generally up against the 56mph limiter anyway (ie have plenty of power to go faster if they weren’t limited), and being 2-3 mph faster makes a significant difference to your day when you are driving for 8 hours. Getting past the slightly slower (calibration of speed limiters varies) trucks is essential wherever you are; hill or no hill, they pass when they catch another truck up. two: They are hoping that the truck they are passing doesn’t have as much power as their truck does, and is hoping that they will get the overtake over quicker as their speed bleeds off as they hit the incline. Chances are, the truckers couldn’t give a crap whether you get inconvenienced, they just need to get where they are going as fast as they can…
