Cutting Corners

Just want to say to the nobber this afternoon probably going to Browns down the A52 (think it was maybe McBurney ?), smile your on candid camera in 1080p you ■■■■■

There is a twisty “flowing” section between the A15 roundabout and Donington on the A52 near the Helpringham junction which Mr Nobhead driver decided he would go flat out through towards me coming the other whilst cutting heavily onto my side of the side to take the “racing line”, my wife onboard and my 6 year old daughter I can tell you I am less than impressed and half a mind to post up the footage for us and your boss all to admire your stupidity.

The section is narrow enough to take care with another truck coming the other way at the speed limit…

The best grab I could get, after this as he slides by he is cutting right next to my door !!

As he is a foreigner and it won’t cost someone their job in this country at least…

Not mcburneys that m8.

Just enhanced the image slightly so you can see how much the rear wheels over the white line !

I did actually have to change my road position to avoid a collision

Looks foreign, with the 2 green plates on the grill.

Yowzers,that was close. Wonder if he took it fast by accident or if he was just aiming to save that precious 5 seconds it takes to dab the brake pedal.
■■■■■ At least you were paying attention and could move over a bit to avoid a disaster.

Yer, I reckon it is one of the Spanish/Portuguese fruit guys on their way into browns, I recognise the livery for some reason ?

As I am fairly sure this is a foreigner I posted the vid up, whilst it was close and stupid I don’t potentially want to cost someone their job, foreigner equals fair game tho.

Not sure the vid does it justice tbh, the stills do a better job, but here we go anyway.

that is a Kreiss, from Latvia.

Kreiss transport is it sad I know this ?
■■■■ beat to it lol

Thats the norm for those roads. I’ve had wagons do that to me when I’m in a truck myself.

Definately a right hand drive, pretty close.

I would post some smart alec remark but frankly I am all out…Latvian, Pole, Brit whatever or not still a bone headed thing to do eh, seeing the European flavoured crash cams footage I can’t say I am surprised to learn where it is from sadly.

front mirror,makes me think its not a left ■■■■■■

I can’t imagine why, it’s still a left ■■■■■■, registered in latvia, all the newer volvos I’ve driven had the mirror there as well…

It’s got the forward facing kerb mirror on the right hand side of windscreen therefore making it a leftie

Mirrors on the wrong side for a leftie.

Agreed
Plus zoom in and you can see the wipers are also leftie

Anyway, this cutting corners things seems to be a growing problem, too many can’t drive for toffee

Just uploading a slo-mo and it looks like the front mirror is setup for a left ■■■■■■ to me…on our left as it comes towards the cam, and on the right hand side of the cab from drivers POV ■■

He is more than a whole wheel across the line by the time he goes past my door…unreal quite honestly, that’s not just cutting, that’s taking the ■■■■.

pfffffftttt !!! you should try the argyll roads ! a82,a83,a84,a85 frequently meet halfwits cutting the corners my personal favourite though is pulling uphill towards a narrow bridge,some numpty will come flat out threw the bridge causing me to stop! now that REALLY boils my wee wee !! there’s just no road craft taught any more.
