Must admit, bit surprised (and rather disappointed) by the Moderators comments.
what’s a moderator then?some one with more buttons than you?as that’s it.
As a moderator, you represent the forum, and presumably the magazine the forum links to…
By condoning and admitting you do the same brings the forum and thus the magazine in to disrupute.
Can you imagine the press getting hold of a quote like that, especially if a tipper is involved in an accident and they go looking for dirt on lorry drivers…
We get enough ■■■■ from other people, we don’t need our own, and one in a position of power saying stupid stuff like that making the rest of us look bad.
Moderators are allowed opinions and are no different to any other poster here. They are not in a position of ‘power’ nor do they represent any forum or magazine. I don’t think members should have to self censor their posts either just because someone doesn’t agree with it.
FWIW I’m not agreeing or backing what was said in any way. I think the original driver was a prick and anyone that thinks driving the same or admitting to doing the same is also a prick.

Just make sure you’re in front of someone with a dashcam so we can chew the fat on truck net.
Everybody’s a copper nowadays, yeah the tipper driver was a ■■■■, he cut the white car up, but hey ho, car drivers cut lorry drivers up all day, every day, lorry drivers cut other lorry drivers up all day, every day. Nobody got hurt, but now everyone is outraged and demanding a public flogging.
Reading some of the views on this is like reading a weird sci-fi book on human robots or some kind of naziesque society.

Will do! I’ve got my own dash cam so the tncsi can analyse it from different perspectives

That’s known as doing a ‘chris bees’ amongst trucknet circles
No one died, no one came close to dying, it wasn’t even close to being an accident. Nothing really to get aroused about. Apart from the dash cam warrior who can’t help interfering in stuff that didn’t affect or impact on his day, he was seriously aroused.
I’m not hanging about behind some ■■■■ who us dawdling along and slowing down needlessly at roundabouts, I’m making progress if I see the opportunity and the danger isn’t too great.

I must be getting old. I remember a time when, on approaching a roundabout you had to slow down, check the road ahead & behind, change down and cross safely. Of course this was in a time when safety wasn’t an issue, now we have special kit fitted to let us know that nothing else is coming from the left, you know, maybe another bellend with the same idea as you, we don’t have to bother with normal rules of the road because we are in a hurry & a lot bigger than a car, the manoeuvre is perfectly acceptable because “nobody died”.
It is a fact that there are some tools on this forum & it’s nice to see some of them show their real faces. If you don’t see anything wrong with this manoeuvre you should be ashamed of yourself, take a look in the mirror and question wether your in the correct job.

No i don’t, i was posting just as a member of the forum.

By condoning and admitting you do the same brings the forum and thus the magazine in to disrupute.
No it doesn’t.

We get enough [zb] from other people, we don’t need our own, and one in a position of power saying stupid stuff like that making the rest of us look bad.
I don’t do it in a truck, well not for a good number of years, I do it in a car and no one is in a position of power.

Muckaway:
It’d be interesting to know what the pay structure of Matthews Tippers actually is. Load bonus, shopping list of loads to do etc?
If the driver really was sacked (which in my opinion I doubt) that footage will guarantee him a job working for Arden, KSD, Thames Materials…
Themoocher:
What’s the crack with handing stuff like this into the local bobbies?
I know he’s driving like a [zb].
But it’s like big brother is watching 24/7 everywhere.
I won’t even eat an apple whilst driving on the motorway these days (I know, i know, terrible…), without hiding it every time theres a car alongside me. Only a matter of time otherwise until somebodies informed my firms Twitter account or email inbox with an incriminating photo
If you drive a livered wagon these days you have to assume your being filmed.
if I ever get sacked (again 
) I hope it’s in half as much style at this mad whoer
