Again we’re in agreement (we’ll need to stop this before we get accused of being the same person),
Frangers agreeing with you ?..
It’s really going to ■■■■ him when he finds out me and you are the same person eh Rob. 
Oh sorry, it’s this I.d.that’s meant to be Rob,.typed that wrong, got confused a bit there.

That’s a cop out mate. It states exceeding the speed limit and driving too fast for the conditions, but lumps them both together. They are two wildly different things and deserve to be listed as two separate things.Edit to add; I was answering Franglais but the bloody ■■■■■■■■ got in first!
Read it again.
“In Great Britain in 2020, 202 people were killed in collisions involving someone exceeding the speed limit, with a further 1,368 people seriously injured and 2,803 slightly injured. A further 115 people died when someone was travelling too fast for the conditions.”
the maoster:
I have a plan that I’m going to introduce when I’m King of the world. It’s radical and out of the box but I can’t see any negatives with it.My plan is that any trained traffic cop upon witnessing really bad driving (at any speed) will have the ability to force the offender to undergo another driving test for the vehicle that he/she was driving at the time. This of course would necessitate the need for more examiners = more tax revenue for the exchequer. This retest would be free and government funded (not popular with the government) however, if the miscreant failed then any subsequent lessons and tests would be funded by them, of course this would mean many many more driving schools = more revenue for the exchequer.
It’s a win win situation; people would take more care with their driving, if they can’t/won’t do that they are ultimately going to be removed from the roads or they will face punitive training and testing costs. The exchequer wins, jobs are created, the exchequer wins again and the roads become a far safer place.
Vote for me, you know it makes sense.
Good idea, but it does have a wee flaw:
Those d-heads who do know how to drive correctly, and so would pass a test, but who choose not to.
It would go some way to remove the incompetents, but not the clever-clever ones.
Robroy,you must have been bored this morning to debate this issue,no disrespect to anyone talking about,but I found it too hard to follow the arguments,but it is an important issue when you consider the unecessary accidents.So,I hope the situatio improves.And then with the dissapointing football result.I think fortified wine can do the trick if you try some ,it sort of resets my mind for another monotonous week ahead driving trucks and then next week,repeat the process all over again!
^^^ don’t overplay your hand mate. Or it’ll all unravel.
As Jeremy Beadle was fond of saying

If I felt as bad as that about the job where I had to drink to get my head around starting back in the next week, I’d be looking for a career change mate.
Robroy.
Im not looking for sympathy because,I think ,lorry driving can be difficult,but many prosseions are difficult too,like teachers assistants,teachers,nurses,police and so on,weve got it easy ,compared to them.We dont have to deal with the general public,but all I need is that Saturday night,unwind,and Im good for another week
Removed.
Would just end up as another pointless argument.
It can be difficult if you have time schedules to keep,you have to be in a certain place at a certain time,but you might have a mechanical problem with the truck or ttailer
No need for me to consider a career change at my age.Nobody is going to give me 50k a year,it aint happening.I just keep plodding along,another 10 yeats,retirement,if God grants me those years ,and I will be done!

The job you do (presumably a day man) sounds to be more of an existence than a job.
50k or not there is no way in hell I would do something as mind numbing as you describe, where your only pleasure in life is to have a drink (of ■■■■ sherry 
) at weekends in order to get your head around starting the whole drudge again for another week.
That is the whole reason I started driving in the first place to avoid all that crap in a factory type environment, so I went UK tramping then later on European , and I now do the next best thing back in UK, but away and left to my own devices…how I like it.
Look for another job in the industry that sets you a challenge and where you have to use your initiative resulting in not having the time to be bored ffs.
Not being sympathetic as you say either, more aghast at how much of a ■■■■ rut you are in wishing your life away to retire and then die. . 
Yes,you are right there.I read somewhere that 1 in 7 people dont make it to retirement age,but me,Im just a bit bored thats all,and the reason I dont want sympathy ,at least I can go to work and earn a living,so things arent too bafs.And Yes,I always fancied continental work but they spoilt all that with the illegal immigrant situation they created now,Ive seen so many horror stories about people ripping curtains to gain access to trucks and so on
