On monday on my way up Scotch, I was overtaken by a Romanian reg artic. The driver had both his feet up on the dash and appeared to be steering from underneath his knees.As he passed he gave me one of those"Look how clever I am" looks.
I showed him how clever I was by reporting him to the police.
When I caught up with him parked on the shoulder of the M74 having been stopped by the law, I would really like to know exactly what they have done with him.And before Ory’s or any other foreign driver gets on to me about racism, I will Grass any driver English, Scots, or Irish If I see this sort of dangerous driving. 
I trust you had pulled over in a safe location, after carefully noting the reg number and truck details,then phoning the Police whilst he passed you in a second? 
Well done on passing your test, grassing people up for petty things like this will certainly keep you busy.
I hope you have unlimited minutes, because it’s not a daily occurrance but several times per minute that someone drives dangerously past you

You can phone the old bill when driving.
He’s a silly boy to be honest because he’s only drawing attention to himself so the old bill will go over everything, that’s why through the night I always take my legs down when overtaking or being overtaken. 
Good on ya rocky. It never fails to shock me how other drivers stand up for complete tossers. That driver was an accident waiting to happen, he couldnt steer or brake properly and when, not if, he runs into the back or side swipes some innocent travellers…I hope its not your family members.
Your report was interesting Rocky right up until you mentioned seeing the police had pulled him in. Hell! they hardly turn out for a murder these days so perhaps your tale is an
RDCFR…RDC Fantasy Rant.
I saw a fantastic bit of driving Tuesday night. When that lorry fire was being dealt with on the M6 at J1 I was approaching the M6 from Catthorpe round that long sweeping slip road and the queue was obviously too much for one driver as he had reversed all the way from the motorway and back down to the interchange. I had to come to a stop while he reversed around me as he was in the middle of the road.
Times like that I wish I had a dash cam.

No, you can’t, if you do they ask you to pull over and remind you that it’s an offense to use a phone while driving

Did you use 999■■ My pet hate is people who ring 999 for no good reason, it’s for emergencies only, and this wasn’t one. Use 101 instead.
Some hands free phones have single button for a 999 call which is legal - not always safe but legal
Whether this warranted a 999 call or not, where does it say that emergency calls cannot be made on the move??
I stand to be corrected on this, but I wouldn’t fancy pulling up on the hard shoulder if I didn’t have too.

You are permitted (or have a statutory defence) to make an “Emergency Call” whilst driving.
I would class the following in this category in my opinion
Police 999 or 101 (If it is serious enough)
Ambulance
Fire Brigade
HA to warn of debris in road (if serious then call the police)
I have been tempted to report certain drivers that come by watching movies on laptops. Truly appalling and they deserve to be dealt with…
What’s the point of calling the old bill. If I got pulled and they had no evidence, I’d just say it must have been the numbskull I had a verbal with a few miles back, then proceed with a ■■■■■■■■ story about a car trying to force me over at an onslip. I just saw a blakemans rigid in the roadworks at stafford, literally 4ft from the punto in front. Did I ring the 5o? No. Did I think to myself what a ■■■? Yes

Calling the 5o when a driver is watching a movie on a laptop could save someones life! (Assuming they manage to make it out of the police station)
It is clear from either side of the vehicle at night that a movie is being played, even from a cars viewpoint.

I reported it (hands free) from around Lockerbie,and they had pulled him about 2 miles before the Abington turn off,and judging by some of the comments he is not the only Richard head on the road.I would never claim to be the worlds best driver but blatant DANGEROUS driving by anyone should be reported,and as for it being a fantasy rant check with the police on that stretch of Mway .simples.

Will you think its petty when he ploughs into your family and kills your kids■■?
Or busy bodies too concerned at gawping into other trucks, rather than concentrating on what THEY should be doing.
Not convinced Rocky, it remains an RDCFR but I can stretch my imagination a little and imagine Jock Plod pulling in a Rumanian who probably doesn’t speak Jockinese to inform
him that an RDCFR fantasist had reported him driving with his feet on the dash.No doubt that will be the two Jock Plods who reportedly had their pockets picked and their squad
car stolen when they stopped a Rumanian truck driver on the A74, heard that in Tesco’s last week so it must be true.

Yes you can, no they don’t, and no it’s not if calling 999.
Put simply, they did! I called to report an accident (not mine, road blocked, etc) I was reminded by the bloke on the phone it’s an offense to use phone while driving.
