This, and threads like it are a hoot. It seems many “Professional” wagon drivers believe everyone else marching on the parade ground is “Out-of-step” bar them. No wonder there’s so much “Road-rage”.

‘…Truck drivers faults: Drifting on roundabouts…’
Perhaps a wasted rant, mate 
What the chuff is ‘drifting’ 
If a vehicle in front is ‘using the carriageway’ to efficiently negotiate the geography of the highway, then maybe Schumacher behind him should get his carcass out of bed thirty seconds earlier 
It’s a road, not a track… unless Schumacher is looking to pass/overtake/get-ahead-at-any-cost on a roundabout - which is encouraged where in the Highway Code

“Drifting” is starting off in one lane and sliding into another because “Im bigger than you”
And yes it is a road not some pimp show to show off your shiny bloody scania and hold every body up buggering about at 40 (and we all know its the ““Law””) just use a little common eh! WE cant all wait for you to do your big heavy trucker bull show.Just so many “nancyies” out there that think being a truck driver is all pose just get on with the bloody job get out the way and bugger off home .Spend some time with your kids for christ sake.Better than =■■■■■■ a lot of folk off by being a right prat with your"Scania " hat on.
Ah ha. I carry a highway code in my bag, just in case there is an unfortunate incident where I’m actually in the right. Not had to dig it out yet mind.

You’ll probably have to explain what it is to get the average road-using plinth reminiscent of barely scraping a test pass a decade or two ago

Late lane changers really get my goat. As a truck driver, I like to leave a gap, only for some ■■■ usually in a repmobile to take up my braking zone, why■■?If I came to power, I would allow all drivers of large vehicles one free shunt a week. Yes I know what you ll all say, but if I figure rightly it would illiminate bad car drivers in quite a short space of time. They wouldnt know if you (the driver of the large vehicle) if you had used your free ram in your driving week…
I tend to find its nobs in trucks that pull into my breaking zone, after they’ve been sat 10 foot off my back doors and taken 3 miles to pass me!
Not really interested in what stupid tricks car drivers get upto, it’s their life, leave them to it, they will kill them selves soon enough.

One man’s ‘drift’ is another’s straight line at effective speed for the vehicle when it’s appropriate & with the legally required indicator larks thrown-in to get home and see the bin-lids

‘… just use a little common …’
An old fashioned cliché: No such thing in this post Blair, diverse and ultra-liberal era

Like what I said - and if herberts wanna pass on a roundabout, either get up earlier or ‘where’s that OK in the Highway Code?’ 
Besides, this thread is ‘…against … car drivers…’, so why the highjacking
Had an absolute classic this afternoon on the M6/A14 slip road.
The usual tailback waiting patiently to get on the A14, I toodled down the middle lane for the M1 around 45 mph ‘cos you know what’s gonna happen’ & sure enough Mr MUPPET in a poxy van come’s round the front of me about 200 yards from the point of no return & brakes so he could push in the que bringing me to a virtual stop, the Renault Premium behind me (too close in my opinion) locked up & used about 10,000 miles of tread in his desperate bid to avoid my back doors.
Needless to say Mr MUPPET got a good dose of Horn & my heart missed a few beats.
