Let others do as they want to do, and you just sit there quietly thinking, its their problem not mine, but lets not forget that all nationalities do it, and all sizes of vehicles, my one disagreement would be the speed, and lack of hazard lights :laughing:

Be careful what you post… When i posted something similar about foreign drivers I was called a Racist, amongst other things.

Zenophobic would be a better choice of word if the foreign driver was of European race.

a Bulgarian lorry flew past me on the Hard Shoulder, this idiot was going flat out.

Actually you’ll find over here in Bulgaria we do happen to overtake on the left :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

Fair play in Bulgaria but not so sure it’s the best thing to do on the M25

…a Bulgarian lorry flew past me on the Hard Shoulder, … flat out. This is some moron … and … was sheer lunacy…’

Lunacy? Our politicians would disagree.

They call it ‘diversity’ and tell us both to accept the ways of others doing their dirt in our front garden and even embrace it :imp:

They would also suggest (though I am definitely not suggesting it) that you are a racist bigot because we apparently need this feral behaviour to survive as a thriving [sic] nation, etc, etc.

Welcome to the formerly ‘Great’ but now just ‘British’ part of the EU :neutral_face:

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I quite agree. The situation, according to government “head buried in sand” community relations balls, is that we’re supposed to embrace this “diversity”, and if you speak against, you’re obviously a bigot/xenophobe. Like the situation with Gordon Brown during is election campaign , leader of a party which is supposedly representing the working people of this country - apart from when they speak up and question the negative consequences of EU migration.

In my opinion, this stupidity described in the OP isn’t completely isolated to any particular country or region but it is certainly more common in certain EU countries than others where attitudes to driving and road law are wildly different to ours. Even taking a daily rest period on the hard shoulder is quite the norm in some parts, and I’ve seen eastern European registered trucks doing it here. Problem is, they either don’t realise, or don’t care (because of their foreign plates they know they’re harder to prosecute) that this kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable in the UK. So when they come over here their attitudes conflict with ours.

Of course, isn’t to say that all eastern EU drivers are rubbish, but if you mix the different attitudes with an unwise or ignorant individual, the problems manifest. Same could be said for a British driver out in Russia for example; he’d be frowned upon if he didn’t offer a bribe to the traffic police when they’ve pulled him over for a minor/non existent offence!

i do agree there are some bad european drivers out there and because of the amount of stuff we think we need there are lots of them here most of the time. but we cannot forget there was a time when we were thought of in the same way by the europeans as some of our drivers thought they were above any of there laws. when there were more brits than europeans on the ferries some were total drunken idiots shouting and throwing food about. i know ferry food was not the best but it was free after all. when i shipped out of poole i used to sit with the euros for some peace.

As if there are no ■■■ British drivers nowadays :slight_smile:

aha at last someone else who remebers the good old days when GB ruled the roads of Europe and started all the things that we now complain about when foreign drivers do them :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:
