Some examples of quality drivers

Last night I parked in a layby, and about 9 pm a wagon went by and kindly let me hear his horns. Yes mate they work fine.
Then this morning heading into mid Wales, two kindly drivers, one in a rigid tipper and another in a timber artic both decided to show me their spotlights. These too were working fine. In fact, if I shut my eyes I can still see the burns on my retinas.

This morning I know my lights were dipped and not pointing high and last night I was far enough off the road so as not be causing any hazard to the driver.

My crime? Guess it’s the company I work for. Thank you all 3 of you truly professional drivers.

Maybe they were just saying hello? Although bad road manners is to be expected from tippers and loggers.

Well I did consider that they maybe were just being friendly, but thought a five second flash of lights …was maybe a
tad unfriendly.

There are very few “quality” drivers around these days, most drivers are obsessed with “bling” or mine’s bigger and/or faster than yours attitudes.I know blokes who spend literally thousands of pounds on gadgets for trucks that dont even belong to them.
When are "drivers " going to grow up and use the trucks for the purpose for which they are intended. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
