albion1971: I wish the mods would stop this bickering which spoils what was a perfectly reasonable question by the OP.
Yes great idea. It’s perfectly obvious who the offenders are.
Stop whining like a woman. The initial question was discussed, and after that, the thread went of on its own. As 'appens on a forum. Now go away.
Not really most forums people act like grown ups but on here there seems to be few with a childish element.
That is because you make the often made mistake of considering this forum as real life. It is not, it is entertainment. Any poster could be anybody. It is an opportunity for people to live out an alter ego, to reach a wider audience, even to escape loneliness… take from it what you want, and ignore what you don’t.
albion1971:
You would agree being one of main offenders. 99% of your posts are pointless. You are very much an online troll that probably has no real friends and that is why you spend most of your life on here in my opinion.
If you are going to make fun of people, make sure you don’t leave yourself with an open goal…

I apologise. Silly me I always thought it was a professional drivers forum

Yep, I’m really just bored in my job working at a nail salon and can’t believe no-ones rumbled me yet.

So only serious professional driving talk allowed then? I that case I wish to table a motion that grumpy ex drivers are no longer allowed to talk down today’s drivers. Trucks, traffic, and the expectations placed upon today’s drivers are markedly different from the olden days. The opinions of ex drivers, whilst occasionally amusing, are largely obsolete.

Personally I would prefer that. Not sure sure whose grumpy but it’s not me. Retired life is wonderful. I would say ex drivers/trainers could be a great help but unfortunately some don’t like to listen. They think they know it all already and that is probably part of the reason we have such a poor standard on our roads today.
Off to New Zealand cruising around ending up in Sydney and returning via Dubai. How could I possibly be grumpy?

The best teachers are those who keep telling g the pupils how crap they are. And that the pupil is not a patch on the teacher…
Me, every day I park up with no damage to the truck is a good one. Is it down to luck? Skill? I don’t know. I’m pretty good at my job, but can ways learn more. I have had my fair share of ■■■■ ups. My fair share of “shiiiiit” that was lucky moments. I have also picked up enough knowledge to occasionally impart some of it onto another driver.
You, on the other hand, have nothing left but snipping on an Internet forum.

Have you had experience training then? From your first comment I take it you have not. If you were to tell a student that all the time they would never gain confidence.
Maybe you would tell them that at first(probably because they are) but you have to build their confidence and towards test tell them how good they are.(even if they are not)
So you pass on knowledge to other drivers? How can you be sure it is correct? I am not saying it is not but there is an awful lot of misinformation spouted.
Glad you park up with no damage. Sounds like me! Mixture of luck and skill as you say.

That is your opinion but if I am snipping it does not say much about some of the others.

I should probably have put the first two sentences in brackets. Maybe even add an irony smiley…
Enjoy your trip Albion , hope you come back soon .
There is a poster shortage of people who know what they are talking about .
One day this forum will just be eagerrat and his aliases laughing at his ‘jokes’ , because sure as hell no one else will be .
I bullied many kids at school who were far funnier than him/them . i feel guilty now . but at the time i thought they were the far end of gene pool . i was mistaken .
