This is the moment a drunk lorry driver reversed half a mile back down one of Britain’s busiest motorways forcing vehicles to dodge his Eddie Stobart truck at up to 70mph.
CCTV shows the dangerous progress of Czech trucker Frantisek Formanek as he criss-crossed the M6 Toll road in Staffordshire just before 11.25pm on March 1.
Drivers were forced to veer out of the 56-year-old’s way, flashing their lights, as he backed up on the northbound side of the motorway at Norton Canes in the wrong direction.
One of Britain’s busiest motorways??
Thank God it wasn’t our Dozy. In all seriousness absolutely mind boggling.
reversing is appauling ,has he even got hgv licence
David Pickering, Eddie Stobart chief operating officer, said: ‘individual’s appalling and criminal actions.’
Says the company that has just had their O license curtailed for awhile

That looks like my reversing when I’m sober.

Probably but just too drunk for it to have made any difference.
BBC now reporting it
And still the general public think stobart sets the standards
Who put trolley wheels on his trailer ffs
Benny hill music would be perfect for that video
Apparently one of their flip flop drivers from Eastern Europe, the ones I’ve encountered seem a bit brain dead when sober,like the ■■■ who decided to park up for his break across the entrance to Corley N/B truck park around 2:30 this morning!
Why they insist on using so many flip flops I (as an ESL driver) don’t know, they are doing a great job of trashing both the fleet and name (if it could get worse!) of ESL, in my experience the vast vast majority of ESL drivers are just like the rest of us, professionals doing a job to pay the bills and put food on the table.
I was in P&G Thurrock last night and sat for literally 10minutes whilst one of “our” flip flops tried and tried and tried to back into a bay that had empty spaces on both sides, I dread to think how he’d have got on had it been a tighter spot.
I wonder if this will feature in the TV programme?
thats hilarious idiot, hope he get lengthy sentence.
Benny Hill music is a must for this video.

Like Brits are the best drivers and can park perfectly, give me a brake. Many of you cant even pass a stupid exam in manual truck…
Don’t judge for all drivers by few bad apples.
