On Spalding by pass heading towards Boston. I was behind a 40mph Gist truck. I was fully laden and you couldn’t do the legal limit you decided to overtake both of us by the side of Fesa on a blind sweeping bend. Not only did you risk you life a nd ours. The poor bar steward that may have met you would have been jam. How much further did you get. 3 cars at the next roundabout. You were pulling a Bartlett trailer. You are a twunt.

That’s what happens when one is on day rate and Gist are on £7.90 ph.
Not that I’m condoning his actions.
Oh and Btw where FESA is it’s a straight part of the road, there is a bend about 3/4 of a mile before it but that is a open bend which you can see what’s coming.
You know the bit I mean, oncoming traffic is hidden by trees. If he met himself he would have been UN trouble. Plus all said and done he was well over the speed limit. Plus it was dangerous illegal and stupid to gain nothing. Oh and I’ve been driving for 30.years without accident so I must know something. I find it amazing the first reply is excusing it somehow
I wasn’t in a Gist Lorry. I get paid a realistic wage

No but you was stuck behind a Gist wagon, the amount of hours of my life those ■■■■■■■■ have cost me!
Me too and at 4am behind Turners trucks. Doesnt excuse stupidity. Technically I wasn’t stuck. I was obeying the law. How’s your wife doing
Without the idiots in this life we wouldn’t be superior.
Am i missing something here ?
You say you were travelling at 40 mph but “you couldn"t do the legal limit” :?

To me it looks like the turners lorry couldn’t do the legal limit he had to go faster…

If your that bothered about him I’m sure you’ll remember his trailer number/registration, do us all a favour and report him, he shouldn’t be on the road. Here’s the number 01205 820972

He wasn’t excusing it, he was merely stating a fact.

Never mentioned driving God. Wouldn’t imply it. Simple fact. It always makes me laugh how everyone shoot posters down. It amazing anyone bothers.
The trouble is people who drive like that rarely hurt themselves but catch some poor innocent person.
It’s obvious I am a self righteous prat and the Turner driver is a driving God showing just how it should be done.
I despair

I wasn’t trying to have a dig at the op, thing is when your on a shockingly low hourly rate your going to do the job how it’s supposed to be done, when your on an ok day rate, you want to get done ASAP to make that ok day rate work out as an amazing hourly rate.
I’m all for getting you toe down (where I deem it to be safe), I wouldn’t overtake on a blind corner. I also wouldn’t sit behind a Gist wagon from Peterborough to Spalding but that’s just me.
