Maybe Ken Roper’s dad didn't teach him about road etiquette or maybe he wasn’t listening when he did.

Get a bit closer Ken and I’ll remind you.

Did it ever occur to you that the OVLOV and FAD lorry drivers were, just maybe, trying to tell you something?

I think they were and perhaps you weren’t taking it on board. There’s no gentle way of telling you this but in few words, they were telling you, in as polite a way as it’s possible when you're driving a great 40ft, 35-tonne artic to... Get a move on!

I’m surprised that in all of your 45 years on the road you’ve missed this well used motoring phrase or saying.

Maybe when the police are investigating our Ken’s allegations, they might pop round and have a word in his shell-like about his causing unnecessary suffering to other road users.

Ken, if someone’s behind you, just pull over and let him pass or just get a move-on.

That wasn’t too difficult, was it?
