I used to do it regularly on a main holiday route from the M62 to 
Bridlington, the A614. My record queue was about 2 miles. It may have 
been longer but I couldn't see round the corner at the end of the long 
straight.

Lorries sticking to 40 result in long tailbacks. I was on York ring-
road this Tusday night doing 40 MPH. Nothing oncoming, good visibility 
for quite a way but not one single car overtook me even though I 
signalled for them to as well. I was quite suprised as the car directly 
behind me was a BMW.
