Stillabunting said:I spend quite a bit of time behind the wheel of a 'bendy lorry' and agree with the theory but where do you draw the line, do they seriously expect me driving an empty truck who can go up the hill at 90kph (my regulated max) so sit behind a fully loaded brick lorry who is struggling to get up the hill at maybe 30kph :?
Of more concern to me are the idiots who can't wait behind you for 10 seconds and would rather risk their lives and those of the people around you by overtaking then cutting into a sliproad at the last minute, :evil: usually necessitating some sharp braking (in most cases instinctive) from said lorry, from experience most accidents and congestion is caused by car drivers who don't give way, hog the middle/outside lane and generally have a poor standard of driving, the majority of HGV (I am not including white van man in his 7.5 ton go cart) drivers are professionals....it is their livelihood and profession after all.
The other thing people should consider before slating Trucks is that 99% you buy is moved by trucks.........no trucks no modern way of life :wink:
