Lorries that spend half an hour overtaking each other only for the overtaken to pull straight out and spend another half an hour overtaking the one that just overtook.
Yeah that pisses me off too. If an overtaking manoeuvre is going to take 5 minutes and block both lanes of a 2-lane dual carriageway just *don't fucking bother*.
According to the "driving rules", in Italy, "the overtake manoeuvre has to
be done as quick as possible and only if it's not creating any obstacle/danger
for the traffic of the other veichles".
I think we have some laws in Italy that also says that lorries of a certain
size (that have a speed limit I think 80/100) can't overtake each other
at all, an overtake that takes 5 mins is "insane" and can well be
classified as "dangerous driving" that is fined and takes down points from your license.
Of course "there's never a policeman when it should be necessary"
