Total idiot in a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee flew across the roundabout in front of me last night and was then held up by a red light. When the light went to green he promptly floored it and overtook the two cars in front of him.

There are so many like this about. I was on the M2 in Kent last week doing about 30MPH given the whole carrigeway was white with the snow & a Hungarian arctic driver flew past all of us in the next lane. So many of these foreign trucks cause accidents. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red. (Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red. (Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding. (Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather. |

They don't have to face any consequences they just F off home and the cops can't do anything about them |

In fairness to the truck driver given that I used to be one, if he was fully loaded to 44 tonnes then the best thing he could do was to keep it lit in the outside lane. If he has to slow down then the chances of him getting going again are WAY less than a car driver. Thats from experience. On the M74 years ago when a fanny in a Saab convertible saw me horsing down the outside lane and thought the best thing to do was to pull out and slow me down!! Right at the foot of Douglas Bank!! I was lucky. I'd overloaded the drive axle and had enough grip to JUST scrape over the top of the hill with the drive axle losing grip. Started to catch the same car up a couple of miles later and he did EXACTLY the same thing to me but this time I pulled to the 3rd lane (yes I know its illegal) which was 8" deep!! Have you ever seen a lorry clear snow that deep?? I BURIED his convertible in the throw out!!! Never saw him again after that till I was past Carlisle where it was clear and the car was still covered in snow/slush mix!! A lorry will make it's way through most stuff IF it's loaded and allowed to keep going. Stop it or hold it up then the game becomes a bogey. Chances are he'll never get it going again without a LOT of shovelling to find grip!! X5 3.0sd SE with more extras than the cast of Sparticus.............. |

It's not the fact that lorry drivers need to keep going, its how fast they do it. Guess that's the lesson the lorry driver I saw jackknife and stack his rig into a motorway bridge last Friday will learn. He (or She!) blocked a whole lane, not to mention the additional obstruction created by all the police cars and cones. Also, in last year's bad weather, a lorry driver thought I should be going a bit faster along the ice rink of a road I was on by tailgating me. I had to pull into the 6" deep snow in the fast lane just to get him off my a%^e. Lets hope he got where he was going 5 minutes quicker.... |
