I’m confused how you safely managed to take down the details of the said truck, phone the police and deal with complete strangers whilst driving. This isn’t a simple phone call to tell your wife to lube up as you’ll be home in 5 minutes, this phone call requires far more concentration trying to explain the situation and answer questions. Just because you were legal doesn’t make you any safer than the other driver, you are both as bad as each other in my opinion. One was concentrating on a dvd, one on a phone call.

I phoned Leicester police at and gave them details, with the additional information they needed for the report before they could allocate the report to a car, I was passing 23a the looney had been out of my sight for at least 2miles, I was now in Notts approaching Derbys so it was too late for Leicester to deal with, probally if it had been UK reg. it may have been different. I saw the aftermath of a Portugese truck wiping out a family on the M6 there was no reason why he did not see a queue of stationary traffic on a stretch of road with good visibility, he didn’t brake until he was within 50yds. watching a film maybe? This though seems to be a non UK problem, it seems acceptable to watch films at night whilst driving for many foreign nationals.
good for you.
a friend of mines daughter was killed last year by a drunk driver, i wish someone had grassed him up when he left the pub and drove an uninsured car into another at 70 mph in a 30 limit. killing an 18 year old girl instantly.
theres to many “i don’t grass on no one” people
people like that who say “I don’t grass on no one” should have a re think. Theres a saying “theres no honer between thief’s”, well thats true because they grass each other up Lil

I see the whiter than white brigade are out in force again.
I don’t know why anyone would want to watch a film while driving a truck anyway, musn’t have heard of i-tunes. As has been said, it may of been double manned and the chappy you couldn’t see in the other seat was watching it. That’s not to say the driver wasn’t watchng it as well though.
I wouldn’t grass him up why should we do the old bills job for them and you can slag me off all you like I hate the old bill and would never help them.
