Casual Observer:

Anyone know the road? Looks like it’s Scotland

Yes , road is A 706 , heading from Breich to Forth .
You can make out South Lanarkshire sign on left hand side . This is entering South Lanarkshire from West Lothian , where entrance to Levenseat landfill / recycling site is

As area is mostly moorland type , there is not a great ammount of decent verge to go on to , some of the verges fall steeply away from roadside .

The less said bout those trying to find excuses for driver the better :open_mouth:

That confirms my initial suspicion then. I reckon its a driver from one particular agency. It looks like a hired unit and Warrington trailer. Livingston only had 1 tri-axle a few months ago and it has skirts along the side their own drivers aren’t stupid enough to pull that stunt. Blue arrow and ADR drivers aren’t bad which leaves one agency and its run by a man who I wouldn’t brake for he stepped in front of me. Very few decent drivers will work with him

yep a706

In most instances of stupidity from lorries there’s a bit of mitigation, but not here.

This is one case where the footage should be forwarded on, this idiot won’t stop driving like this till he’s killed someone and the TC takes the licence off him too late for the victim(s).

Fair play to the driver of the video vehicle, kept a decent braking distance from the car in front, including when the lorry started to cut in, and stayed well back when it all kicked off.

I was right and the driver has been banned. They were warned about him months ago

Good, wonder what he’s driving today though.

I once got offered a £50 bonus to go into iceland Harlow for a single shift. I asked for it in an email confirm, and I never heard from said ADR agency again.

I thought the nearest Iceland depot to Harlow was Enfield?

53

That has to be one of the worst bits of driving I’ve seen on here. He should be jailed for driving that, utter insanity :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Banned from driving for Iceland then, not from driving?

57

Iceland share a site with booker at Livingston, he is probably on the booker contract now :laughing:

58

Looks that way, easy way to sort it out for Iceland. Would make no difference whatsoever to them to ban the guy, plenty more to take his place.

59

Is there a link to the FB page?

Just type in Iceland Foods to look at their page.
Be warned though, it’s mostly full with the world and his dog posting the exact same video over and over again despite Iceland replying to the original complaint.
