Transmec nutter

Did anyone see that Transmec artic on the hertfordshire section of the M25 this morning around 06:00.
He came past me at juntion 26 at a speed that was way above 60 or 70mph and was nearly kissing the back of the car in front of him.when he reach a point where the car started braking due to another truck in the middle lane he proceeded to go out into the third lane till he past all that was sitting in the middle lane.
Its idiots like this that gives us a bad name and also causes fatal accidents.I also think that he was so close to the car in front of him that when it did brake that was the reason why he swing out because there was noway he was gonna stop.
It makes my blood boil with these prats on the road. :imp: :smiling_imp:

I don’t see the problem, Why was the car obstructing the truck, It should have got out of the way.

And how do you know he was doing over 60 or 70mph?

I used to drive a lorry that was restricted to 62mph. The amount of people who phoned the number on the back of my trailer to say I was doing 80mph. Guess what. My lorry was GPS tracked and so my traffic office could tell the concerned caller that they were talking out of their ■■■ as I was doing nowhere near 80mph as they could see exactly what speed I was doing.

I dont know his actual speed i estimated that sort of speed as my speedo was reading 58mph and he went past me pretty quick. the car could’nt get out his way due to the inside lane being used by lorries and insuffient space for them to pull in,Even so we all now frustrating it is when you get a slow car in front of you but you still dont have to sit on its bumper and this car was’nt exactly going slow .
After all is it not illegal for any vehicle to pull into the third lane to overtake thats over 7.5 ton.
I guess im lucky that i dont have to drive like a idiot to get where im going as i can always phone my manager if im running late and my next pick up will be covered by someone else.

seen one of their outfits pulled in on the southbound m74 beatock summit vosa checksite.
and when i came past the next day he was still there…
…and the next day.
dont know what they got this guy for,then on day four the unit was gone,and just the trailer left.

nice to see someones keeping it lit and we’ve not all turned into the holier than thou brigade.

Perhaps he was in a hurry! :unamused:

He no doubt had his foot on the right pedal not the middle one

Oh , to be able to do 65/70 again.

I must admit they all drive a bit mental on there, and I can catagorically say all their motors do at least 60 coz my FH does 58 on the flat and they come past me with ease. There’s gonna be an accident on the dock road by Tilbury, because they’re drivers insist on turning right from them inside lane with no indication, something I have witnessed on at least 10 occasions. One nearly got taken out by a Trans T driver going just as fast who then went across the roundabout from the right hand lane :confused: :confused:
