English lorry drivers who look down their noses at those driving foreign trucks.
Thats rich after five minutes driving a kraut reg van, and you were one who looked down at other drivers who were not driving artics! Even though said driver may well have had his class one 20 years before you had your first nappy on!

smiley for effect
Never looked down my nose at any driver so I don’t know where you’ve got that from.
Was reminded of another ■■■■ boiler yesterday. Morons who cut corners on bends. They drive straight at you on your side of the road thinking they’re Jenson Button taking a racing line even though their side of the road is wider than Vanessa Feltz’s arse.

People that dont indicate at roudabouts or in general (obviously im a mind reader)
Tailgaiting (more than happy to drive slower than i need to until you get the message)
The one ■■■■■■ that can see everyone is queing in the LH lane but sails past in the RH and cuts in
People that use the wrong lane of a roundabout to jump the queue
Idiots that dont put lights on in rain/fog
Car drivers that drive well below the speed limit for no reason
People that overtake you when your doing say bang on 30 in a 30 and there’s never a copper waiting
Cars that are parked incosideratly ie to close to an obstruction/junction
Mums on the school run (generally cant drive, cant park and are too pre occupied with their little darlings and not on the road)
Car drivers that sit on their breaks rather than using gravity or the gearbox to control speed and break at every corner
People that cant reverse (not in full control of your vehicle so shouldnt be on the road)
Impatient people when your doing a delivery that cant wait 5mins for you to off load
I could go on and on but think id be here all night
Mentioned by others but drives me mad when you give way and arrogant ■■■■■ dont say thank you
Also when car drivers that are in RH lane on a roundabout cut out of their lane and into yours almost taking your front off
Car drivers that overtake and cut in giving you ■■■■ all room (really there’s no need)
Car drivers that drive around with their wing mirrors tucked in (they are there for a reason)
Car drivers that drive up your ■■■ when your about to do a reversing manouvre even tho youve indicated and got hazards on, or the ones that try and overtake you as your locking aroud
At one time woman had a better attitude than men when it came to driving.
It now seems they are as bad if not worse.
Anyone else noticed the number of young woman that cant keep a safe distance?

I thought as English drivers in England, we all drive foreign trucks these days!
I think the last English trucks I drove were Leyland road trains & seddons back in the 1990’s
Even UK showman are starting to use the odd foreign made lorry now.
But that’s only because a Volvo will last you a good 20-30 years
Even those pi key wagons that pull the fairground stuff are 90’s motors. It’s been ages since I’ve seen a wagon older than a S reg (1996?) on the roads anywhere… Are there really any 20-30 year old tractors out there, or is this something I’d have to pop up to the outer Hebrides to see?
Pretty much everything that has been stated previously gets on my ■■■■. Truckers with their fog lights on has to be right up there, you can understand the public not being clued up enough and having them on but a professional driver just takes the biscuit.

1,Pi keys and showmen are two completely different groups of people, stop being racist.
2, yes you do see 20 + year old lorries still working esp on fairgrounds. I know of a 3300 that still works and I saw a B reg the other day. Loads of old lorries appear around harvest time. Maybe you just haven’t seen any driving up and down the motorway to your depots.

I drive an auto, and although I can over-ride it to use lower gears it’s not good for the gearbox, so on a downhill the car is similar to neutral as it drops to 800rpm and basically coasts, so on downhills my brakes get hammered. Goes through a set of pads every 2yrs. Rather replace brake pads than a gearbox though
Re seeing old vehicles still working, I saw an A reg F7 flatbed on the A34 near Oxford earlier. A.Rickward was the name on the doors.
There were a couple of Gardner powered V and W reg ERFs at the Witney Feast fair this week, until recently an Atki Borderer on a H plate would appear every year.
A few yokels around Oxfordshire like to annoy motorists by plodding along it’s main roads in ancient tractors. One Worzul Gummidge used to enjoy pulling out infront of traffic on the Oxford-Banbury Road in a David Brown tractor. Several times he’s done it to me and when I’ve managed to get past he gets a cheery Nescafe wave.
Here’s an old vehicle pet hate; People who hold up traffic in old vehicles that have a sign on the back saying “You are following a 19 (whatever)… (insert vehicle but normally a traction engine or tractor).” Who cares? Those interested can guess what it is, the rest don’t care two f’s about it.
My pet hate…idiots who try to nip up your inside when you wanna turn left. You indicate in plenty of time but as you nip over to the right a little bit to allow for the swing the ■■■■■■■ think they can do you before you turn. Sad day for em when you turn and pin em against a wall…!!
