Spent two years driving in London at least 3 times per week, so too many to mention
But one that I cant forget is a black guy in Dagenham, who just came from nowhere and was rubbing himself against my unit( :blush: ) I stopped and didnt move until he buggered off, he must have been high or summat
Loads that step out in front of you, women with pushchairs who think that you will not crush the child It`s a messed up world, it really is…
I was winching a car onto a recovery truck in Stratford apon Avon on day. Had everything set up to go, sat in the car, just pressed the button on the remote and someone ran a cross the slide bed tripping on the winch wire and went down like a sack of [zb] in the gutter!
I couldn’t do much for wetting myself, apart from saying ’ watch out mate I’m working here, and don’t even think about rining up and complaining as there is a van load of coppers outside the cafe over there (also wetting them selfs!)
I’m a london bus driver.
The above photos are the aftermath of what happened to me when a bloke on his poxy mobile phone walked straight out in front of me whilst on the phone!
The bloke talking to the police is a passer by who was moaning about the bus being late!
Thank god the pedestrian was ok, it was his elbow that did the damage to the windscreen.
Thank god for cctv.
I could run someone over everyday, and it would not be my fault…

Yeah women pushing their prams out onto the road without first looking is a top one… had one do it to me other week there.
Also, had a near miss with a young ■■■■■■■ a bike with no helmet on, she must have been about 8 and no more and I could see she was cycling up the hill and waving from side to side and knew instantly what was on the cards, sure enough she swerved towards the road and I slammed the anchors on, wheels locked slightly and stopped just a bit away from her. Put the ■■■■■ in me anyway…

I remember that clown, he’s been going for years!
Truck fetish
He tried it on with my old Turbostar, dread to think what he’d have done if he’d seen the Topline I used to drive!
About 18years ago I was running a night trunk from Belfast to Dublin and back. Now in them days there was no M,way between Newry and Dublin and you were driving on the old A1. About 2am every sunday night there was a nightclub that used to just empty out onto the main road. Coaches, cars, drunk people everywhere it was bedlam ffs. Anyway sometimes there was always a drunk idiot wanting a lift or hanging off the mirror arm or jumping on to the back of the trailer trying to show off etc etc.
Well this real wintery nite I got there about 2.05am and it was madness, so I’m crawling thru the crowds trying not to flatten anyone and when I cleared the area I drove off as normal. Now all the way to Newry about 4 mile away I thought I could hear shouting but ignored it and cranked the radio up. When I stopped at traffic lights in Newry I glanced in my mirror to see a dude climbing off the catwalk!!! Absolutely frozen and soaking wet lol. Think he learnt a valuable lesson about trying to hitch a lift lol.

My mate was driving in slow moving traffic and some teenager with an I-pod or similar in (and was away with the music) just wandered across in front of his truck (under the windscreen level) as he set off. Brown-bread !!! The kids partner stood helplessly watching and fortunately, didn’t blame the driver, nor did the parents, but he is a changed man. It’s the worst thing that can happen to any driver and it’s so easily done and even though you have done nothing wrong, you WILL blame yourself morning, noon and night!
Don’t know if this is falls into the classifaction but…
New Years Eve / Day - trying to drive through most City Centres doing a delivery and you always get the drunk numpties who stand in the road trying to get you to blow the horns.
I was coupling up my a frame drawbar about 20 years ago at a unloading area in Brighton and some one walked between the truck and trailer just as I was about to connect , I called them a few chossen words to no avail , they choose not to back chat me ! " I wonder why "
Cruise Control:
anybody ever hit a pedestrian with your mirrors? on those roads in town centers that are about 2ft lower than the path??
yep i hit somone with a umbrella a few years ago the wind blew a bit and they fell towards the road luckily i only hit the brolli…
Also hit a copper once by accident mind,he stepped out onto the road as i went past i was doing about 5mph at the time,i did jump out and see if he was ok luckily he was wearing them hard tall hats they have…
Not hit someone but came bloody close a few weeks ago. Again, kids coming outta school and there were a few stood at a pelican crossing, 1 lad Stepped too far off the pavement and then turned to look at me just as my mirror headed for his…well, head.
Luckily he managed to duck before i hit him! Then had the cheek to give me the 5 knuckle shuffle sign

A fella that I work with run a pedestrian over in early hrs on Sunday morning just gone,from what I’ve been told 2lads walkin at side of road and driver didn’t see them til last min so had swerved to miss them but one didn’t move so he caught him.The lad is in hospital critical condition touch and go last I heard,police have impounded lorry,road was closed for hrs.Police have said the lads wasn’t wearing no reflective clothing walkin on an unlit road on wrong side of road,didn’t say if they had been drinking or anything.
Hit someone kid (14-15) with the front of the trailer as it went over the pavement on a tight traffic light turn, i slowed right down and they didnt move so just carried on, then the arms went up in the air as it hit the one that thought they’d be brave.
many years ago before trailers had sideguards, I was stuck in slow moving traffic in that London place. I was just about to move forwards again, looked in my nearside mirror and saw someone ducking under my trailer, looked in offside mirror to see him re-appear and carry on across the road.
