Why do car drivers come through the Lgv parking then get irate when a trundle wagon is trying to reverse in to park.
Bit of a clue when you exit the motorway.
Car parking right.
Lgv parking left.
One day a car will get bashed as they sit at the back of the trailer in the blind spot honking their audible warning device.
I have seen many near misses and offers of Gareth Hunts finest roast coffee beans.
Avoid this place and use the new Msa with the grass turf roof being built up the M5.(When it is open.!)
The signs are obscured by the sat nav in screen centre! 
Cagers, you gotta love 'em. My run includes joining the M74 at J2a and I can guarantee that whatever position I take some eejit will try and squeeze their dinky toy (usually a beemer 
) past as we join the ramp happens every bloody day 
Mind you I saw some scary wagon driving on the 74/6 last week, plain white rig all over the road which eventually pulled up on the hard shoulder M6, unit with lights working but not on trailer (M74 Hamilton to Johnstonebridge), 7.5t all over the road (M6 south of J38)
Trowell services southbound is dodgy on the LGV pumps when the cagers come hurtling between the lorries filling up because they haven’t seen the car exit. Be careful when you walk round the lorry I’ve seen it catch drivers out !
Has anyone noticed the confusion that the exit at Gretna services causes? I’ve lost count of the number of car drivers I’ve seen reversing back up the northbound entry slip because they don’t know their ‘north’ from their ‘south’. Been stuck behind many others who just sit there for what seems like forever, perplexed by the choice presented to them.

amazing stupidity at gretna all the time!
folk seem to leave there brains in the canny scot shop!
Car drivers are all useless it seems!
Lorry drivers are all brilliant it seems!
Stop complaining about others when everyday we see very poor driving from many lorry drivers and far worse than anything mentioned here.
When you consider the amount of car drivers on the road compared to the number of truck drivers it would seem our standards are far worse and we are meant to be professionals.
The post is not saying lorry drivers are brilliant.Its cars driving up to the back of reversing trailers.Not a complaint.
An observation.

Shut up.
Could be they’re in holiday mode? Either that or inbreeds who’ve got lost from Fishponds.

Thing is you know it’s not bollox.It is very true and that is why you do not like to hear it!
It is very predictable that you see idiot truck drivers everyday on our roads.
Car drivers have half an excuse.They are not professionals!
Then again it seems they are few and far between amongst truck drivers these days.

Are you actually a truck driver?
You do sound like bitter little man!
Just out of interest are you short of stature?

Yes have been for almost 40 years but almost ashamed to admit it now with all the clowns on the road.
Yes I am bitter when I see the number of truck drivers that put others lives at risk everyday.
Nope not short of stature and not fat either.
Anything else?

You do have a gift for taking any subject - any subject at all - and dragging it onto your favourite hobby horse. Why not start your own threads, instead of trolling other people’s and going out of your way to start arguments all the time? What’s the point in that? Even if you are right about the standards of lorry drivers (and I’m not saying you’re not), having the air of someone trying to start a fight in an empty room does you no favours.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it but I get sick of hearing about all the bad drivers,cyclists,van drivers,pedestrians when we as professional drivers are just as bad if not worse.
I have started my own threads if you care to look.

I took the mrs with me to Bristol one weekend and called in on the north side ,I said look down your side tell me if a car comes ,within 2 seconds there’s a car trying to drive up the near side ,it’s not all the cars fault the spaces are poorly designed .

Fishponds? What is the relevance of that? Does albion hail from there? P.S. I work there.
P.P.S. Seems to me that truckers get as much slagging off on here as any other road user.
