Bad HGV drivers

Isn’t it amazing what you obverse when your in driving the family car out and about shopping etc etc… Then probably you realise that there are morons out there driving HGV’s and there the ones that give this industry a bad name…

Just like something that happened this afternoon, two guys in a loaded grab lorry intimidating another road user just because the car in front was struggling to find a gap in the traffic to safely pull out at a busy junction, from what I saw the driver of the lorry seemed to be losing his rag due to the amount of traffic or maybe cos it was so near to the end of the day…" Ohhhhhh wasn’t going to finish at 4pm "
They decided to pull around the left side of this vehicle, then turned right directly in front of this vehicles path…but I think the small car driver wised up to what these idiots where doing and pulled out…

It proceeded with the lorry driver riding the bumper of the car in front … at one stage the lorries drivers cab door swung open and I though sitting two cars back " here we go " good job traffic started moving toward a set of traffic lights…but obviously the car driver felt intimidated because they ran a red light to get away from these morons…

Generally,most of these small pickup or dropside building/maintenance vehicles have a crew of between 2 and 4,and therefore drive anally because they can :unamused:
You ain’t gonna front up a load of neanderthals are you :wink:

I was just sitting on the side lines waiting for it all to explode… :grimacing: and if he was doing it to me with ma kids in the car then it’s a different story…

Moron wanted - Must have HGV license… I blame the recruiters :confused: :grimacing:

You’ll find moron pedestrians, moron cyclists, moron car drivers, moron motorcyclists, moron van drivers, moron bus drivers and moron HGV drivers out there. Nowt you can do about it, just drive professionally yourself and chill. :unamused:

I’m sure that like a helluva lot of us, it really makes me cringe when I see antics like that out on the roads. We can only hope that enough car drivers have the intelligence to reason that not all lgv pilots are knuckle-dragging psychos. I genuinely try my utmost to be courteous and professional when I’m working (not saying I get it right all the time, but I DO try!) Good and bad in all walks etc etc.

Careful mate you could confuse one or two on here (no names mentioned :unamused: ) they will think they are on the ‘Driver Vacancies’ part of Trucknet.
Worse still a couple of them will try and apply for the job! :laughing:
