U-Turn on M6

Face:
At least the trucker made a mistake we can all understand, and tried to sort it safely.

How can you say it was safely :astonished: more like lucky :neutral_face:

if he meant to do it,then hes obviously not as green as hes cabbage looking… its a misleading junction,and mabey once he commited himself,then he just went for it,got caught,and crucified for doing so. there were no cars anywhere near him on the m/way,none had to swerve,skid or avoid him,and the only fault would poss be he didn’t swing right round onto the hard shoulder till he got up to 50 ish before pulling out.theres not a chance he could have caused an accident the way he drove.(apart from going the wrong way to atart with,but its not exactly dangerous what he did)…the outside lane car driver might have coughed in his skiddies a bit,but dosent look anything that could even be described as a close call. he got what he got due to politics,plus it makes good news…MOTORWAY JUGGERNAUT WITH FLIPFLOP DRIVER DOES U TURN…COULD HAVE CAUSED CARNAGE,MAYHEM ,MILES OF TAILBACKS AND CHAOS.( but didn’t)… it sells papers. :unamused:

Ever think that it’s this type of reasoning that gives truck drivers a bad name.

ā€œHe knew what he was doing and didn’t kill anyone so that’s ok then.ā€

You just don’t get it do you.

It isn’t just about what he did, it’s also his total and utter disregard for others safety and the law of this land.

Do you really want people like him sharing the road with you because I certainly don’t.

The more poor drivers that get found and banned the better conditions and wages will get for the SKILLED workforce left.

If that isn’t an incentive for truck drivers to rid their ranks of numpties I don’t know what is.

Unless of course your own work isn’t top notch?

the dude made a simple mistake due to the bollox of entries on the toll areas…he didn’t kill anyone,he didn’t nearly kill anyone,he didn’t cause anyone to swerve,harsh brake,basically he didn’t do anything other than get out of the bollox he got into by a simple mistake,and got caught on camera,hence big news for the media…I don’t see how he had a,(((,utter disregard for others safety and the law of this land.)))…he didn’t inconvenience anyone to any great degree…and by definition,if he wasn’t a SKILLED worker,then no dount he would have caused carnage…he may have broke a Cpl of driving laws,but who hasn’t.( apart from the armchair Vikings that post on here slagging off some sod that slips up now and again.)
