Romanian truck close call

bazstan009:
Only mistake the Romanian made was mistaking you for a fellow pro driver.

Wish I’d had a gap as big as that when I pulled out of layby on A12 during rush hour last week.

So it was you ya sod!! I spilt my coffee AND dropped the baccy out of the ■■■ I was rolling!! :smiley:

Drinking coffee AND rolling a ■■■, I thought it was only women who could multi-task :smiley: :smiley:

Happened to me this morning. From what I’ve read on here this seems to be happening pretty often.

Had my cruise control on 50mph. I kinda second guessed that he might go for it. Couldn’t move over, then out he came!

When people claim they can multitask, it just means they do several things badly/slowly/or badly & slowly.

Maybe the op should qualify the title this posting to
“Romanian Truck Close Call…if I had been driving a intercity train at 125mph”

Pmsl you only had 1/2 a mile prepare :laughing:

The one that pulled out on me last week on the A14 forced me to brake & swerve into lane 2 (thankfully I knew there was a gap) & then accelerate to stabilise the trailer.

Just showed the wife your post, unfortunately her reply wasn’t really suitable to be shown on here :unamused: :unamused: :smiley: :smiley:

Fellow lorry driver (nationality is immaterial) is attempting to join a fast moving dual carriageway from a standing start… thinks another fellow lorry driver will have been there and make allowances and help him out… other driver keeps it on cruise control and posts a video about how hard done by he is, Sorry chap only one person in the wrong here, the one with no consideration for the driver leaving the layby

My missus can’t multitask. Well, she cant have ■■■ and have headache at the same time!! :unamused:

Lucky you were paying attention? Lol yeah, you only had 1/2 a mile to slow down…idiot.

Was she cooking your tea when she was reading my post ? If so be careful because she’s probably burnt it

I have a dash cam and I’m not afraid to use it.

Here’s some more footage from the OP’s dashcam; nothing special, mainly just him making a meal of driving around Cambridge.

Cambridge is a town full of mincers.

I think even a car driver would of seen that situation arising and had the courtesy to move over into lane two and allow the truck to pull out. Think your in the wrong job pal

Well that was bloody exciting wasn’t it!! :unamused: :unamused:

Too many drivers sat on cruise control these days and to lazy to knock it off to show consideration for other drivers.

Jesus, you really had to put the anchors on there fella. You might want to get your tyres checked out for flat spots.

Give the guy a break will ya? It was way too close for comfort and only one step away from carnage! I had a similar near miss last week when travelling along the M1 near Kegworth and a bloody plane passed within 200 feet of my roof! Maniac. In fact it’s happened a few times to me there. I’ll get a dashcam and post the footage as soon as I can be bothered.

Shall we open a book on how long it is before the - “How do I delete my account post?” :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

My guess is he’s already sent a message to the site admins asking that question after the first half dozen replies :laughing:
