Lucky or stupid?

Driving down single lane each way a road earlier. Notice in distance a flat bed parked in a laybye.one these stupid ones can just get a truck in without sticking out on the carrigway. I notice the the driver checking his load tighinent his straps. I slow down get as close to middle line as I can. Get close to him he then stands at front his cab. Looks direct at me pauses a sec.then decides to make a dash to get in is cab door. In the rush he looses his footing slips . Good job no one coming other way as I pulled over avoiding him and his door.

You were lucky.
He was stupid AND lucky.

He probably thought you were the guy he owes money to. :smiley: :smiley: then made a mad dash for it.

Good advert for a dash cam,had that of gone wrong a dash cam would prove you weren’t in anyway at fault

I know need to get one. I dropped enough hints over Xmas hoping santa might of got me one. . Saw a link on here I think of some camera that’s a 360 . You watch it back and can move it.

Plenty of idiots on the motorways who insist on changing a tyre with their bent-over arses sticking well into Lane 1.

That’s why we always pull into lane 2 when possible, if we see some flashing hazards pulled up ahead - right?

As for these “managed motorways” when the breakdown is actually in a live lane now - don’t even go there. :frowning:
