Having followed these 2 lorries along the A47 from Guyhirn towards Thorney I assumed overtaking would be a simple task once we reached the 3 mile dual section which forms part of the Thorney bypass. Sadly I was mistaken, the lorry on the right pulled out to overtake the other one but they then drove side by side for 3 miles stopping me or anyone else from overtaking. Flashing headlights, sounding the horn and moving from lane to lane was to no avail, they chose to trundle along at 50 mph side by side until they turned right at the roundabout after the footbridge.
