So I stopped at Chippenham truckstop last night, got parked up at 16:00 and dropped a 9 hour to start at 1am and tip at Wavins in Chippenham. I got there and they said it would be 8am I would be tipped so I pulled out and parked up just outside behind a Johnny forgiener shut my curtains and got my head down for a few hour.
I was woke up about 06:40am to horns going and a knock at the door from the fella on the gatehouse at Wavins to see that from me parking up at about 01:30 to 06:40 about 5 ■■■■■■■■ car drivers who work at Wavins decided to park across from me leaving only enough room for a car to get through some split arse who was trying to get through was waving her arms about and I asked what was up and told her them cars were not parked there when I pulled up, she replied, “ they always park there they work in the factory, these (us) aren’t usually parked there though” I told her I could park anywhere on this estate as long as not causing an obstruction due to there being no parking restrictions and she drove off. Best thing about it there’s a big ■■■■ off car park 10 yard across the road they could all use
The same brain dead car drivers who overtake you on a smaller roundabout and are outraged when you have to take part of the second lane to avoid demolishing the railings on the nearside as you exit it?
The same brain dead car drivers who overtake you just as you are going past a motorway exit and then brake like hell as they dive in front of you indicating left then across the hatched area to exit the motorway?
The same brain dead car drivers who overtake you in Scotland just as you are entering a reduction in lanes on a dual carriageway where the temporary speed limit is 50 mph, which you have been doing for the past 27 miles and promptly brake to 45mph?
The same brain dead car drivers who on entering a roundabout and wishing to take the first exit, the one you are just leaving and fail to indicate thus forcing you to stop and screwing up your microlise score?
Welcome to the world of the selfish, stupid motorist who can only think of themselves, their mobile phone, social media and today probably Black Friday.
Not long ago had delivery to Manchester city centre. Was short of driving time needed a 45 min break. Was about 8 am .
Found a small laybye on outskirts parked up 10 mins later fella knocked on said can’t park there.
So I got out had a look round said I can no yellow line or signs.
He said can’t park there that’s my spot. I park here every morning have done for 18 months . Then I walk to tram stop across the road for work… He swore n ranted for 5 mins…
Then he parked his car on the pavement. Causing an obstruction.Took a pic of my truck reg number.
Then.told.me if I get a ticket or.towed away you paying. As your in my spot. Never heard a thing

I can assure you, having worked on live motorways for several years in the past, that it is totally believable and not really that unusual, except that most times nobody is killed and they get away with it.
