Lorry drivers who sit right up the arse of car drivers through roadworks,absolute [zb] seen one the other day coming up the M6 through the 50mph section sat literally a foot away from a car that had 2 kids in the back seat,that car breaks heavily and he kills 2 innocent kids…these types should have their licence taken off them.
Regardless of what speed the car is doing there is no excuse.
Couldn’t agree more.
I expect nothing but daftness from car or van drivers, despite many of those being far better at general driving some so called lorry drivers display.
At the top of the this forum is the title Professional Drivers Forum, that’s self explanatory, we are supposed to be professionals, the average car or van driver isn’t, so we should take into account that driving isn’t their profession at all times.
You wouldn’t expect a lorry driver to be skilled at anyone else’s job, so why do lorry drivers expect those who work in other fields to be skilled drivers.
When lorry drivers get back to acting like pro drivers, they might earn the right to criticise others, breath not held.
As for lorry drivers tailgating/bullying on the road its getting worse, but it will be coming to an end because the lorries are sooner than we think going to be equipped with adaptive cruise that is going to be more intrusive than ever, electronics will stop this tailgating and i suspect we’ll increasingly be relegated to single lane use.
I’m surprised that narrowed three lane motorway roadworks sections still allow lorries to use two lanes, now and again you come upon motorway works where lanes two and three are weight/width limited and i suspect its only time till this becomes the norm.
The morons who tailgate and bully are bringing this ever closer to fruition by their incompetence and idiocy, they’ll all be here whining here about it and never once imagine that they in their droves might be the root cause, they show their Darwin Award mental state by being seen regularly tailgating other lorries too 
, you have to be mentally deranged to risk your own life willingly like that.
Agreed.
Last year on the way to Llandudno on the A55, having entered the 50 mph zone and slowed to that speed, one such ■■■ sat his C+E a foot from my rear bumper throughout that section.
And in the roadworks on the A483/A55 interchange (lane 1 closure), not far from where a cyclist was killed last week, a lovely lady got really rather animated as I filtered into ‘her lane’ (so animated she nearly dropped her ■■■). It must have been ‘her lane’, as the previous 200 yds she had altered her speed continually to prevent me from filtering over.
Cooperative use of the road? Not using vehicle size to bully/intimidate other road users? Never sound your horn aggressively?
I said on a previous thread, I’ve seen the aftermath of a family folded up in their car having been overrun by a HGV. It’s a shame there are a few numpties in the profession who tarnish the image of the rest of us.
Yawnnnnn
