Hey Nodders don’t be such a spoil sport.
Who are you sticking up for in the clip?
Strangely enough the lorry driver seems to be getting the thumbs up from most of the other lorry drivers apart from one.

Glad you used probably because unless he was turning right further ahead he was not driving appropriately.
The biased have already made the assumption with no evidence.
Some do not seem to realise how many lanes there were either. :unamused:

You seem to have missed both the blue car AND the silver car (which hit him) indicating and moving from lane 1 to lane 2. He couldn’t move left even if he wanted to. As for turning right ahead, you don’t know he wasn’t just as I don’t know if he was. Based on what is on camera, he did nothing wrong, in fact, he showed awareness and consideration to other road users by not blocking them in. Something the camera guy in the other video on here could learn from.

Clearly schools out at the moment, Christmas hols etc. That’ll be Uncles occupation, sitting in the back row, gazing out the window, chewing gum.

Uncle Albie:
Snowman it may just surprise you if I divulged my my occupation.

Is it as the drivers side wing of a silver corsa?

Caveman I have not missed anything pal.What if he was not turning right ahead?According to others it is ok for him to be in the outside lane of three.What he should have been doing is easing off the gas and moving back to the left when it was safe.In the video it looks very evident he had no intention of doing that.He was going for it.Conclusion looks like the sort of thing you see on a daily basis.
Lorries in the outside lane thinking they can beat cars and often running out of steam.But if he was turning right at a junction or roundabout in very close proximity fair enough.It seems lorry drivers are never wrong on this site even when they are wrong.
Any other driver makes the least little mistake and they are hung drawn and quartered. :unamused:

You don’t read this site much do you?? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’m willing to bet you’ve got the same IP as Chester or Albion1971…

well,i think the lorry driver is an embarrassment to the ‘Tipper Driver Community’,being all nice and friendly :frowning: why not the usual ranting and raving? ban him from the quarries,i say :laughing:

Uncle Albie:
What if he was not turning right ahead?

What if he was going to be though? You dont know he wasnt

Uncle Albie:

Well it wasnt safe was it. There were cars entering the carriageway. At the very least I think he was being a courteous driver to allow the traffic to keep moving

Uncle Albie:
.In the video it looks very evident he had no intention of doing that.

Maybe because he was turning right up ahead and switching lanes in close proximity is dangerous. Or is a dangerous manouvre ok in your book as long as you can get a dig in about the manouvre that did take place?

Uncle Albie:
if he was turning right at a junction or roundabout in very close proximity fair enough.

Well since you dont know he wasnt dont you think you should find out first before you decide to call him names and lay the blame at his door?

Uncle Albie:

Nice try but wrong. Plenty times the lorry driver gets pelters if he is in the wrong. Theres even an ongoing thread where both drivers are getting stick.

The irony being of course that the corsa changed lanes without looking and hit the lorry and you have decided this is ok and the lorry driver is to blame.

All in all a pleasant peaceful ending, nice people … :smiley:

Not sure I would be standing in the road chatting about it with traffic going past mind … :open_mouth:

DJC:
Bloody hell, four drivers all rational and cheery at once. Where was that filmed? I want to move there!

Probably due to:
The lorry driver - owner driver
The car driver - retired
The biker - just a nosey ■■■■■■■

At what point did we give up lane discipline? :open_mouth:
Truck was ‘making progress’ and not hanging about, but if she can’t see that, what chance would the biker of had if she was seconds later? :unamused:

My eldest lad was driving in his car when an old woman pulled out in front of him, his car was badly damaged.
Police were involved and it was clearly her fault.

Later on her son knocked on my boy’s door thanking him for not kicking off at his mother, and for showing concern for her at the scene of the accident.
Made me proud of him.

Thanks Pop’s! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
