Brake checking Merc (from Daily Mail)

dailymail.co.uk/news/article … lorry.html

Just another day on the road really.

There’s more to this wee don’t see.
At the very beginning you see the car on the left on the entry slip , he can’t quite get past on the inside due to the other truck. Film cut to passing another truck which is where the Merc cut in …

Bit odd that one. I watched it on idiotdrivers.whatever and it was in 2 parts.

Right at the start of the video you can see the merc on the nearside so he is obviously ■■■■■■ off he’s been boxed in. The lorries have probably just let someone on and he was trying to undertake. Or they have just let him on.

99.9% of people will always brake but there is that 0.01% who are complete nutters who would happily plough through them.

Wonder if you just touched their bumper what their reaction would be?

our new Lorries have all Cameras

It would be interesting to find out why the police supposedly can’t prosecute just because the home address doesn’t check out assuming it isn’t also registered under a false name. :confused:

There isn’t nothing more to it. That’s the slip road on the n/b side of the M1 at the start of the smart motorway section at junction 39 so it goes into a live lane so the car has no need to try and force his way on,
the truck in front has pulled back into the first lane probably after allowing the berk in the merc onto the motorway and the truck in the second lane is going faster than the other truck and proceeding to overtake. The gap where the merc was probably hoping to get through is virtually non existent, he should’ve just eased back until the truck past then overtook them both.
Just another Bertie big bollox who deserved to be shunted into a coma for a few month, fed through a drip in intensive care then be wheelchair bound for the rest of his life.
