One thing that does ■■■■ me off is when drivers flick the bird. Got something to say, then don’t just drive off into the distance. Normally this is given by car drivers who don’t understand the characteristic’s of trucks, however the other day (Wednesday) I was going clockwise on the 25, passing a Sparks Scania, when there was a slow mover in his lane and because I didn’t back off or hit the brake to let the poor wee soul out he decided to wind his window down and give me the bird. Unfortunatly he wasn’t going the same place as I was. Remember that if you give the bird you might just give it to the wrong person i.e. me.
Happens every week, I don’t care. I normally do a sarcastic thumbs up first which provokes it

That winds them up even more. But I love it when you pull up behind them at the next set of lights or whatever. They aren’t so brave to do it then.
similar but I give a massive wave and a cheesy grin & wink…you can see the vein popping out of their neck

Exactly, many’s the time when I’ve got out my wagon at lights and slowly walked up to the numpty (Unfortunatly but true) female driver, tapped gently on their window and asked them if they really though I was Gareth Hunt. But this was a wagon driver and I think what ■■■■■■ me off more was that he had a H4H wristband on, shallow perhaps but if Mr Sparks wants to say to my face what he thinks of me I’m sure we could find some mutual area, out of the way of prying eyes and we can then settle his beef.

FFs grow up …
I think you need to cut back on the coffee. If it gets you so riled up that you get out your vehicle at lights I suggest you change jobs.
Don’t people have enough to worry about in this job? What about the planners, TMs and goods in staff that treat you like a [zb]? Do you march upto them asking for a scrap?
One day your bravardo might send you to the mortuary.
Don’t you love it when you get the bird anyway when it wasn’t even your fault?
Happened to me today when a bloke nearly took the front of my car off when i had gave him room knowing that he will want to be in front of me when he wants to join the A47. He nearly took the front of my car with him when he just pulled over into my lane without giving any flickers what so ever. I just flashed and used the horn and i just got the middle finger.
Blow them a kiss and give em a wink 
Usually leads to more obscenities 
Had a guy wanting to front me up when I blew him a kiss and called him sweetcheeks, I got out of the cab and he backed off telling me I was lucky blah blah blah, I aint the biggest of blokes but I have a build made for wrestling bears
Dunno what wouldve happened if a ruck started, would the lads come out of the warehouse chanting ‘fight fight fight’
I usually blow a kiss too

Never underestimate your opponent. No matter how big or tough you are, there is ALWAYS someone bigger and tougher (or smaller and tougher) than you are. Oh and use your brains, if someone is bigger than you, don’t be ashamed to say “apologies kind chap, my mistake”. In this day and age it might just keep you alive.
Scotcbaz seems to fancy himself as a bit of a hard man, maybe he takes too many steroids for his physique and it’s rotting his little brain!!!

This is something I don’t understand about other drivers… The bloke you’re overtaking gives you the bird because you don’t slow down and allow him out; therefore, you’re expected to slow down and be delayed instead of him? Surely that’s hypocrisy and arrogance (by the driver being overtaken)?

My old man said to me when i was young “Never ever judge anyone by their size”. I could take on a midget who could beat the crap out of me and don’t get me wrong i am a stocky lad and can take care of myself (Had bigger blokes then me on the floor in the last year 
) but you never judge and like you have said, this day and age people will carry something

Wasn’t so long ago a TNT ? driver nearly killed another motorist that decided to come up to his truck at a roundabout, he pulled away not knowing that driver was in his blind spot and nearly killed him IIRC…ain’t worth it is it ■■ (Up on the end of A630 at Donny I think where you join the A1)
