When did people become so impatient and disrespectful

Would you not overtake a hearse and procession on a dual carriageway? I have before

When my husband's mum was killed 18 years ago, we couldn't take her from home as the police had locked down her house and we weren't allowed back there. So the funeral cortege went from the funeral home, drove down her road, stopped outside her house, and the head guy from the undertakers got out and walked the cortege up to the top of her road. It was so touching and beautiful, and we kept saying she would have loved this. It was the undertakers' idea.

No I’m never in That’s much of a hurry. Even if I’m on my way to a job I will get there when I do.

My husband’s Grandmother died about three years ago. The funeral cortège went from his Aunt’s house, so down through the estate and on to the main road. As soon as we turned left onto the road a driver of a lorry started to blow his horn. This carried on the whole time we were on the road. He could obviously see it was a funeral. So disrespectful and disgusting

That's absolutely disgraceful. There was a time lorry drivers were the gentlemen of the roads, together with taxi drivers.

Sadly, I think those days are gone Although I’m sure there are still some good ones somewhere.

We always put our lights on if we are part of a funeral procession too. Is this still the norm?

Just out of respect for the person who has passed and the mourners. Wouldn’t add much to the journey and might make a difference to the loved ones

I have been to a couple in the USA and all the cars put purple flashing lights in the roofs and you go through every light and even at red - all cars have to give way for the whole processions regardless of if you have a green light you must yield
