I agree but need to have "free" defined. If there's another truck 100/200m ahead then it's a pain in the ass because like the other said, others behind you won't do the same and will do a slight acceleration when you go in the right lane (because free space in front = accelerate hurr durr), preventing you from changing lanes again when you get to the next truck and so you have to brake and hope you get a gap again soon to overtake the truck.

If it's literally empty as far as the eye can see then yeah, move over!

That made me curious and it looks like yes, birds do migrate there: https://polar-latitudes.com/wildlife/migratory-birds/

Yeah the OG UK episodes are by far the best.

Some might, but yeah as you said the success rate was pretty darn low. Even in the show when he visits back it's usually gone back to shit as soon as he leaves.

Can't even tell if you're messing with us or if this is completely true.

Can't believe this shit still works in 2023.

One, they are efficient and don't have humour.

Yeah the movies are just an example but indeed also in the news they'll use raid for when the armed police kicks the door down but perquisition for the boring ones. It's just what the words mean at this point, I guess back in the days it was "perquisition armée" (armed).

Yeah that makes sense, probably for similar reasons right?

I think it's only in French that we associate raid with "all guns blazing" because we use the English word for cool action movies and the French one for boring news segments.
