I gave up class 1 driving 2 years ago & now work 8am till 4.30pm Mon-Fri for not much less money & much more time at homeAlthough we have an 18 tonner for the bigger jobs, I spend 90% of my time flitting about in a VW Caddy van (62 plate dontcha know) & rarely go further than 50 miles from base.
Do I miss class 1? Not one jot, in fact I moan if I have to use the truck lol
Do I care about attitudes? Nope!
+1. You’re a wise man

It deffo happens but oddly there is a pecking order in the rigid world too, I’ve driven all sizes of the things and have noticed the following.13 tonners are just treated as scum by everyone else, look like 7.5t and almost entirely unrespected by all and sundry.
18 tonners are a bit better, big wheels and reasonable cabs you are elevated to the respect of maybe 30% of other drivers.
6 wheelers and things get a bit better, 50-60% chance
8 wheelers and it seems to be on par with driving artics.
When driving with an oversize or good load on then everyone seems much more friendly.
It doesn’t bother me a jot, but it has amused me for years.
Agree.
From my short experience driving rigids doing the work i was doing, it was far, far harder than any artic work i’ve done.
These days I mostly drive a Lhd rigid and unless I’m flying past an artic on a hill most will flash me in and will thank me when I do likewise, I even find the same courtesy applies when I’m in the little 3.5 tonner as I tend to drive it at around 90km/hr out of habit.
I dont bother with vans, had one chap ask what my problem was at lights after i flashed him back in… 
All trucks/lorries etc i do though, basically like having a big family 
I flash most people in vans …rigids…artics, there are times when your miles away thinking about somthing else and forget…but its no crime is it ? as for driving ill drive owt as long as i get paid…i dont think there should be a pecking order were all out trying to earn a crust . 
just getting ya class 2 is half arsed. y not do it properly and get ya class 1 and its better pay with less ■■■■■■■ about.
Last time I drove a class2 I ■■■■■■ up ! I went the wrong way up a road then saw a mini roundabout that I could spin an artic around on, so I tried to do a U turn around this roundabout in a 23 tonne rigid. No chance ! It ended having to reverse it back & forwards to get round. 
Thankfully I rarely drive rigids.
I think the artic drivers think a ridged is eaiser to judge due to being shorter so don’t see the point in flashing it. A guy I work with flashes everything in small vans etc. I only flash them when they give a safe distance and an indicator.

It’s bloody expensive.
Polite reminder.
The subjects of spelling and grammar were done to death on here some time ago.
The outcome was that if something is readable, then the spelling and grammar don’t matter.
Some posters might/could cause problems for themselves if they judge others by their own standards, so please don’t forget that in ‘correcting’ what somebody wrote, you leave yourself open to being ridiculed by somebody else who has a better understanding.
Just a thought.

Eggsactly.

A van shouldn’t need to be flashed in. I’m sorry but the vehicle isn’t limited and he shouldn’t be under our toes ■■■■■■■ around at the 56mph marker anyway, he’s not on cruise control so his foot is feathering up and down causing a perge in his speed.
Just because they want to play lorry driver, it’s embarrassing.
I think I must have worded the OP when I was ‘tired’. My gripe wasn’t about getting flashed in or not or being thanked or not. That’s been done to death and it’s been said many times that anyone who actually needs flashing in probably shouldn’t be driving.
It was the selective flashing in that made me post. e.g several of us pass a slower artic and he only flashes other artics and not rigids. Same as I have flashed in artics who don’t say thanks (that’s not a problem), but when they overtake an artic ahead and get flashed in they do say thanks. It’s common, but I shouldn’t have tarred everyone with the same brush.
The stuff about getting glared at in RDC’s was a bit paranoid though. It’s happened, but the glarer glared at everyone regardless.
Also, DieselDave, how many times did you check and recheck your polite reminder for spelling and punctuation before posting?

Hi Ched,
I didn’t check because of the outcome of that massive topic some time ago.
This spelling and grammar thing is a bit like being a gunslinger in the old Wild West, because a smarter guy will eventually turn up…
IMHO, the self-appointed spelling and grammar police themselves have the most to fear, so I just smile at them and point them in the direction of the earlier decision.
