I’m now never surprised by any of the bad driving nowadays, as a lorry driver you tend to see it all.
I’ve had tippers pull out in front of me at jusctions ( i have dashcam of 1 incident), come hairing around a corner on my side of the road.
Cars cut infront and brake because there wasn’t enough room for them, which happens alot at the M5/M4 junctions. Also cars pulling out of a junction when you’re virtually on top of them causing you to brake hard.
The worst I find are the red light jumpers, this seems to be happening more often nowadays.

Brilliant view of a so called lorry driver this afternoon, a small van in front of me on A14 westbound close to Corby exit travelling at 70mph outside lane ready to pass artic in n/s lane, artic pulls out causing the van to brake sharply,
The next bit is that I don’t know if the van gave him a sign from his wrist, I doubt it as he would have been busy braking , vehicles go along quite happily & artic pulls back into the left, van accelerates rapidly and gets
half way past the artic who has now indicated that he is coming out & tried forcing the van into the central reservation, the van just kept on going I guess thinking wtf. I have seen some stuff over the years which is
normally someone not taking an anti stupid pill as required or just a mishap but this was as close as trying to kill someone in my opinion.
thats a bit normal for the A14 , i do kettering to coventry every 6am morning and return 4pm every afternoon , you name it they do it , stupid speeding , undertaking , up your arse lights flashing , thinking they’re at silverstone, inside, outside, , just watch out for vans mostly , its foot to the floor and just keep it lit , who cares whats in the way.
