How dare you besmirch vegemite. It is a truly wonderful food. Should get another kg of it when I go Australia next. It is obtainable here but for silly prices.

That is an attempt at an imitation of the real thing.

Here, if you stuck behind a truck with a picture or words that have anything to do with horses or equestrian stuff you're done. The driver drives only at the speed a horse could walk, and keeps it up for miles on roads where one cannot get past.
The other trick some truck drivers use (they are hard limited by equipment to 60mph) but nothing forces them to actually do 60mph. So on the motorway a truck driver doing 60 will pull out to pass one doing 58 and completely block everyone, which is fine for the truck driver because the truck driver is getting paid, but not so good for everyone else. Also, they just pull out when they get to the place they want to pull out without checking if they will cause cars doing 70, the car limit on the same road, to need to brake to avoid running up the back end. It would be better if they said trucks must stay in the left lane and if the one in front is going slow they can give it a boost, just like the old trains did.
The other possibility is forcing slow drivers to pull over and stop frequently to let others past. That way they can still use the road but their impact on everyone else is reduced. Oh, same for cyclists. The roads here are narrow enough that you cannot safely pass a bicycle easily so one cyclist on a country road can collect 10 or 15 cars behind.
Wales did lose in the end. They did well to get where they did.
