No mate, unfortunately it’s not just you. but still and all, the field in which we work is still better than plenty of others, so we just have to take the rough with the rougher, and make sure of our clearance when pulling back in after overtaking

Is it just me or does anybody else think that SOME hgv drivers are becoming more ignorant? I luckily or unluckily returned back driving 3 yrs ago after a 16 yr break and found that to my surprise a lot more hgv drivers are all to keen on looking after number 1, such as not flashing you in on a motorway, not helping you reversing into a nasty tight corner somewhere etc, etc. I was on the A 303 the other day doing about 41 - 42 on straight single 40 limit and when i hit a duel section i had about 5 hgv,s go past all giving me the evil eye, now am i an old ■■■■ or does anybody else think that SOME drivers are basically ignorant ?Yesterday I was driving along the A14 towards Huntingdon, on the opposite carriageway there was a broken down Land Rover in the offside lane near Fenstanton. The stationary traffic was tailling back to Spittals, but no one thought to push it to the side of the road. In the past this would have been done and everyone would have got on with their journey’s.
Common sense is no longer permissible.
Anybody noticed the amount of people who break down either just before, or just after a layby? I’m sure most people see the STOP light come on and do just that, without using their common sense (and wing mirrors)
You really are asking a lot of the Cambridgeshire section of the great British motoring public…if most of ‘em had to think about taking their next breath they’d f*&$kin’ suffocate, and thats on a good day

‘…Common sense is no longer permissible…’
In a word, ‘no’ 
To paraphrase Bliar/Brown, anyone objecting to a diverse society is a bigot, ie, that most reasonable woman who was upset when Brown was canvassing her vote & he called her a bigot behind her back?
The only thing ‘common’ within such a society is that the lowest possible denomination of civic standards seems to dictate - and is followed by - the majority, innit!
Hey presto - very few people in the ‘21st Century EU/UK’ seem to either publicly value or publicly display any aspects of care beyond satisfying their own gratification. Individually, I reckon many do care though, but we’re disenfranchised from bothering to display it…
I suggest that we rise above it and lead by good example.
