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.
Bet that was a worse experience for the poor kid who didn’t expect a artic trailer to join him on the pavement
Beats me how you think this was the kids fault , perhaps thats why you find the job stressful, you obviously dont posess the ability to do the job

You should have your licence revoked. To knowingly strike a pedestrian is unacceptable in any circumstances. Would you have run him over if he was lying in the road? Idiot.

Have you any idea how many people think it’s clever to play chicken with an HGV/train/bus? I had an idiot do it to me today, and he was well old enough to know better. You know the one bowling down the road (in the carriageway) all attitude and silly walk… Don’t be naive man.
Whilst sat in traffic on Uddingston Main Street one day, I heard a commotion, looked around and seen someone half way under my trailer trying to retrieve their little pooch who ran underneath it. Doesn’t bear thinking about what would have happened if I had moved off. Makes you wonder why folk can be so stupid.

You do realise that pedestrians already on the road have priority and you have to give way to them?

When there’s 6 feet of top-quality pavement a foot away and the clown is walking in the gutter as he has been since I spotted him a good hundred yards away you mean?
it must be a common dragon and wag thing,stepping over the draw bar. its happend to me twice in london ,saw the second one in the rear view camera just as he was lifting his leg over,so i inched forward a smidge i know it was wrong before you all start, but it was funny as ■■■■ and he might think twice before doing it again on someone who cant see him
Loaded a 40` container in Doncaster with waste paper, came back out of yard turned right onto main road saw some youngish scum bag lads jump on underrun at back of my trailer as I accelerated up the road, they must have been hanging onto door handles aswell and kept seeing their heads stick out from behind box at back of trailer in my mirrors, people were coming past and blowing horns and pointing, knew they were their but what was I supposed to do? when I got near to a roundabout I jammed brakes on then dropped it a gear and accelerated again, hopefully they smashed their faces into the back of the container. They jumped off at the roundabout.
Squiddy:
Yup, they use their prams like traffic cones mate. Fortunately we don’t play tiddlywinks with prams.
makes me cringe when i see mothers pushing prams near the road.
Worst ones have got to be the parents that let their 3-4 year old children ride their scooters down the road in front of them. I always hold my foot over the brake if i see this!
Had a nasty experience in central london when I was on vans. Glanced at my satnav and when I looked up a toddler was rushing in to the road. Skidded to a halt a few metres past it. Pure luck his parents shouting turned him round. And yes, they glared at me as if I was a dangerous driver
Ya s’posed to be looking out the ■■■■■■■ windscreen, not at yer satnav.

This pedestrian was stood on the pavement, where do you expect pedestrians to be

[sarcasm]Are you thick? Everybody knows lorry drivers are the most important thing on the road. If a pedestrian minding their own business on the pavement is in your way, just hit them. If a car is in your way, just crash into it. Remember, we are the most important things on the road and in any collision the other party will always come off worse. Just plough on regardless, that delivery can’t be late.[/sarcasm]
There’s some proper retards on here publicly admitting how retarded they are.
Stopping might have been a good idea rather than deliberately trying to injure them. Idiot #2.
Sorry Mr Crab, I`ll ring you for advice next time as Im such a retarded idiot, you seem to know what to do, fact is they shouldnt have been on it in the first place.
Note to moderator, can we have a smilie licking a window please for us retards, thanks.
Dread to think what you would say about my post about being arrested, thats on the arrested thread page 2.

I’ve noticed this, the young chavs who walk in the road, expecting you to move out of their way.
I’ve found that, no matter how much swagger they’ve got, or how hard they think they are, indeed how hard their mates think they are EVERY SINGLE ONE of them jumps when you give them a close-range blast on the air horns.

Then they look like pricks.
You should be ashamed to admit this. Do you not realise that not all us have air horns? The headline, “Chav found by road-side, with fingers in ears and a tread pattern over his head”, would give us all a good chuckle and instead, you warn them with your air horns. Girl!
ps. Think of the children. Running these idiots over WILL stop them having thick children to follow on in the family dole tradition.

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.
Was it the Westenra Hotel?
No it was the Carrickdale Hotel just at the border. Big Sunday night hotspot for every wee town in the area. Madhouse with fights and boy racers

During my category C driving test I was coming up to a pedestrian crossing with traffic lights. The lights changed to green when I was 3 car lengths away and I could see pedestrians waiting either side so I carried on. Just about to drive through the crossing when a women approaching the crossing caught my eye, I had a feeling she was going to carry on crossing the road so covered the brakes to be sure. Sure enough, she walked through the group of people waiting and out infront of me without as much as a glance. I was forced to stop but in doing so, everyone waiting to cross decided to take advantage and cross aswell.
Resulting in me failing my test. Reason being if a cyclist or motorcyclist was coming up along side me, with green lights at the crossing, I would be at fault for stopping if a pedestrian got knocked down by a motorcycle/bicycle.
So apparently to pass my test I should have kept on going and knocked her down.
Worst experience of pedestrians was on my Class II test. I was stopped at zebra crossing where there are railings either side between pavement and road. Lady with pram decided not to use zebra crossing, but instead to push her pram and herself along the road between my test vehicle and the railings. I just kept parking brake on and kept glancing at examiners pen and test sheet till the daft mare had waddled off.
