Well known Lincolnshire company today coming back from Beet Factory tries to overtake me even though he wasn’t fast enough. I eased off as we approached A47 A17 roundabout so the clown didn’t kill us both. He then nearly wiped me out, undertook another Lorry, then got all his trailer wheels at least a foot over the kerbside. Caused a car to brake then took the A17 exit swerved across both lanes. Got within about a foot of a popemobil bumper and harangued them for about a mile. He then overtook and caused oncoming traffic to slow down. Best of all about 2 miles later he pulled into a Layby. Incredible.
I phoned the company and reported him. They weren’t interested. Typically I didn’t put my dash cam in today so I could share this horrific skill.
Was tempted to pull into Layby and discuss it but decided if he was driving like that his knuckles probably scrape on the ground

Given the first four words of your post, he probably has a very basic grasp of the English language as well…
Had a run in with a driver from Tooles Transport yesterday who I can only describe as Ned Flanders English counterpart. He decides you don’t have to give way to the right on roundabouts after nearly taking the front of my unit with him. As I pull alongside at some lights his windows is down and he starts shouting at me. What a confused man.

The season is upon us The majority of beet drivers drive like morons. I will be using those roads tomorrow and they will be rushing to finish Friday Still the weekend usually gets rid of the road warriors.
Mostly UK peeps on that job.
Driving through roadworks on A1, 40 limit all the way and I had a guy pulling a DHL trailer driving about 1 foot from my bumper continuously. I came off heading for Consett with the die hard still a foot from my bumper. The slip road curls round quite sharp so I decided to maintain speed rather than attempt to slow down and the die hard matched it! That was until he realised he was travelling too fast and had to brake hard for the bend. He then cut left across 3 lanes without looking, to go straight across a roundabout without slowing down, to cut right into outside lane. MAD AS CHEESE! Obviously an angry individual.

Grassing up other drivers isn’t going to help, you can’t decide on what’s coming the other way, when your time is up it’s up #fact!

Not surprised this comes from you, you come across as one of those type of muppets yourself. You probably even thought they were good drivers for not hitting anything as they charge around like morons.
Also not surprised that you’re apparently sat at home with no work and the phone ain’t ringing whilst every other self employed/agency driver in the thread you posted on has said they’re working their arses off.
Grassing up other drivers does help especially if the phone number you ring is 999. If they’re off the road everyone else they would have come into contact with is safer. Kind of glad you’re sat at home rather than being in a truck given your childish attitude.
Pimpdaddy:
Agency have stopped ringing me & my part time job has dried up.
You come across as someone who would drive exactly like these bellends do and eventually people stop hiring them. Probably why you’re sat at home on the dole waiting for the phone to ring - the agencies need to be truly desperate to ring you up because you can’t drive for toffee.
I like the description of the A350 south… The boulevard of broken mirrors. Is the protocol that you knacker your mirror in the hedge, or take off your opponent’s
It helps explaining what happened back at the ranch, if both mirrors are smashed, otherwise they’ll think it was you hitting a hedge, for no reason. And it gals if the other gets away scot free.
On a related note, another of Spears’ finest nearly binned it today on the M5 South, junction 4 (road works) the n/s lane is signed as ‘junction 4 only’ , because it doesn’t continue on the hard shoulder, but veers off as the slip road. Numb nuts realised only at the last minute, and nearly hooked it into my front corner, but luckily decided to do the decent thing, and shoot up the slip road.
At least he had the decency to put his hand up to say sorry.

Do you know what? That actually does make the world of difference, we all screw up now and again, we all go somewhere for the first time where because of rubbish signeage local knowledge is necessary. A quick apologetic wave helps defuse the situation.
Much better than when some plant life screws up and then gives YOU a gob full as though it’s your fault!

Probably, ah well, you carry on paying the taxes & I’ll start spending them:grin:
