Bikery told us this happened near the the Royal Armoured Corp Bovington Tank Range in Dorset... and it's not the first time...
Given their proximity to the range, "We've been passed by them a few times while riding in the area over the years. It's always a laugh!"
"The instructors seem to love it as it puts the trainee drivers under pressure, they always give you a smile and a wave or thumbs up. I can imagine seeing dozens of them coming towards you is pretty scary unless you have an anti-tank weapon!"
Tanks on the road also produces some "interesting driver psychology", Bikery told us, as they've seen "several drivers wait at give ways for the tanks to pass when there was time to pull out leading to them being stuck behind the tank doing 30mph in a 60
limit".
