Cant believe I aint got a thread on here today

You just wait! Tomorrow there will be campaigns banning lgv’s from the A6, and claims that you were doing 80mph, talking on the phone whilst cooking supernoodles on your camping stove. Menace to society!

AHT:
Yeah thats the one near my house, sorry I never think of them as staggerd, Most accidents there are due to artics truning left two sharply and taking the wall out or getting stuck

You’re right AHT, the sign on the north bound approach shows a normal x roads.
For some reason I always seemed to remember it as staggered, maybe its just because of the odd angles.

Drop a bum spud ! Brilliant , hope the lady makes a full recovery and I hope you are ok mate .

AHT:
Where abouts was that out of intrest, I live just off the A6 south of J33

Ellel? Forton ish.

Driveroneuk:
Was this mid to late afternoon?

I live on the A585 just north of M55 J3 and there were A LOT of emergency service vehicles went flying by on blues on twos heading north.

Hope you’re ok B1 GGK as even if you’re calm at the scene and maybe even drive the truck back, it can hit hard once you get home and relax.

Happened at just after 11am.

DoYouMeanMe?:
You alright mate? Didn’t break your flask or anything serious?

I’m like brand new Twigg, was abit shook up yesterday but you gotta plod on.
Went in work today, cant be arsed having the time off.

Hope you’re ok mate. Didn’t hear anything about it, but never got much radio signal yesterday.

If you speak to a couple of muppets in our place, I was doing that, aswell as whacking 1 off into my sock whilst being over the limit (the latter is an actual rumour :imp: )
They are the same chaps that dont speak to me too :laughing: I love their tales.

Had a great near miss today, I was empty and pulled off a roundabout and started accelerating, a small van decides to use the filter lane below to overtake me (he was going in the opposite direction of the arrow)

The filter lane started to shrink and there was another truck in the opposite lane, the muppet instead of slowing down and pulling in behind continued to plow on, he proper crapped himself when neither of us deviated from our speed or position, nice plume of tyre smoke as he jammed on the anchors to avoid getting sandwiched between us :laughing: :grimacing: he kept a well away from me for the next 30 miles :laughing:

So you purposefully attempted to cause what could have been a fatal?

Highway Code

168
Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you.

I’ve highlighted the relevant word in blue.
