Tesco drivers and new 50mph S/C

truckerjimbo:
I guess there exempted!!!1

Hero on the A361 devon link road. 40mph on the s/c but when it had the overtaking lane not a d/c went to 50mph!!! WTF

4 mile tail back. Big grin from him when I finally overtook. [zb]!!!

Company hotline will be called by me!!! all on dashcam. What a hero!!!

Ffs mate :unamused: Does it REALLY matter.
I’ve known a few drivers like you over the years that get stressed over the least little thing. One ended up down a hillside upside down…and dead, another had a heart attack at40, and the other two that are still alive at 55 look about 70.
How long were you ‘held up’ for 5 mins, 10, 20 ? maybe the guy was driving to the conditions of the road on the day, unlike you.
Chill out man before you end up as a statistic. And don’t make a complete helmet of yourself by ringing the company :unamused: , apart from the fact the guy was doing nowt wrong, nobody likes a grass. :smiling_imp:

Must be class 1 drivers.

Class one=the real hero`s

I’ve noticed a lot of Tesco trailers with the tell tale stain where the “Taking your safety seriously” sticker’s been removed. Does this mean they don’t give a toss anymore?

Heroes*

Driver did nothing wrong, better to be under speed than over speed. Always good to err on the side of caution.

Thousands dead in Nepal, Philippines still obliterated, famine in Africe yet you get wound up by a law abiding driver, get a grip fella, for your own sake.

whos the worst…a tosco fanny so eaten up by having to demean himself to work for tosco that he has to try and screw everyone over to the best of his rolling roadblock ability,or someone moaning about the aforementioned fanny.2 different camps there possibly?

I agree he was in the wrong, but we’re not talking about being caught by the police or civil service. We’re talking about Paul Blart and his £15 eBay camera. If the ticket is upheld, it sets a dangerous president. The question is whether it’s immiscible evidence in court

President who?

More to the point - why should we be worried whether evidence mixes with liquids?

I love being only a class 2 driver.

That’s what everyone who’s spent 10 years on class 2 and still can’t pass the class 1 test says. :laughing:

Ive never tried. No thanks. leave to the hero`s.

They all say that as well… :laughing:

Unless you were at the back of a 4 mile tailback, how would you know it was 4 miles long?
And if you were at the back how would you know what was happening at the front?
Don’t let me spoil your whinge though :smiley:

:unamused: What’s up mate did you not get the reaction that you predicted to your o/p, so you have resorted to replying with inane meaningless childish remarks.
At least have an attempt to justify your o/p to regain a bit of credibility.

You must have eaten a lot of carrots in your life time if you can see what is holding traffic up 4 miles ahead of you,most would find it difficult at half a mile. :wink:
Reminds me of the the old fisherman`s tale “it was that big” :laughing:

Truckerjimbo is correct in knowing what was in front holding up traffic for four miles.
The reason why is due to the layout of the Devon link road,it is a long snake, with the hills going up and down, it would be possible to see the slow lorry in front in the distance.

All I can say to the grammar police is, I have a phone with predictive text and an American dictionary. No further comment without a brief :laughing:

Old Tesco contract driver getting more than double an hour than most, no hurry, get paid by the hour, never go over your hours, giving plenty of time to do drop, ah what a life and on top of that he gets to upset a few people, what a perfect job

100% Sadly I get paid a lot less than these guys, I do drive a nice wagon, but I know which I would rather given the choice, and my bank balance would reflect this, along with my medical report.

How can you judge a 4 mile tailback behind you?

Well if that’s the worst that happens to u in a average week u are one lucky driver. What’s the problem chill if it ■■■■■■ u off that much stop for a 15 minutiae break let him go

This practice is not just limited to S/C it also happens on the M20 as I found out yesterday, I guess they both are on hourly pay, to drag it out like that,

Also my wife works for Tesco’s and she is always saying the delivery’s are never on time. I wonder why.
