In that situation I'd go round it. I think most people would tbh.

Not disrespectful to just drive past. If you went hoofing past like a goon then fair enough.

Gregg, it was just after the roundabout near the fire station with petrol station in it.

I didn't exactly go fast by it, but I was accelerating because I passed most of the procession on the round about, because I didn't know what the hold up was, until I was doing 40mph and going passed the funeral cars.

Dont worry about it.

When I've been to funerals of people in girlfriends family they get a bit funny about this kind of thing. Think that because they are in a funeral procession everyone else should stop/get out the way for them. Get a bit OTT about it all.

I just about ran into a herse (sp?) a couple of weeks ago. Was doing the lunch run for my work in the van, so obviously had to kick the cunt out of it Came round a bend to find a herse and about 10 cars pulling out into the road very very slowly. Thought i was going to wipe out the whole funeral! Thought to myself after it, thats probably the most unlucky thing you can crash into
