Been out and about today and the standard of driving i have seen is laughable to say the least
Coming up the M3 from eastleigh it narrows to 2 lanes so i,m stuck behind the usual 2 lorries trying to get past each other, this is not going to be quick as they were evenly matched so i drop in behind the one on the inside lane.
Spotty yoof in diesel maestro then comes up on my outside and sits about 2" off rear of overtaking truck dodging to the outside to see round then towards me to see down the middle of the 2 :shock:  this he does until the one he is behind is halfway past then he sits with his hand on the horn trying to get past , 1, driver of truck cant hear horn anyway 2, how did he think truck is going to get out of his way then?
this goes on until trucks pass and the overtaking one pulls in whereby the yoof commences with hand signals to the driver before racing off in excess of 90mph :shock:
And the government say i need driving lessons cos i,m in a van :lol:

gtomo2:
well it wernt me he was stuck behind cos i know i shouldnt but when a pratt dos that behind me i just pull leave with the truck i am overtaking and have a chat with him for a few mins before slowly pulling in front and pulling over at a safe distance from the wagon infront. then i just wave and smile nicely at them :lol: . It dos seam that lots of car drivers are unawear of the speed limits and restrictors that us hgv drivers have to stick to

Edge:
Yeah i know what you mean.
I always thought compulsory re-tests every 5 years would get rid of most of the bad drivers on the roads today, but it wouldnt. We're always going to suffer them.
Some people cant think beyond the end of their bonnet.

gtomo2:
true just wish they would either put hgv speed limit signs under the normal speed limit signs or have something in the test about hgv's and the laws we have to stick to. I once had a car driver ring me boss up at work and complain as i was doing 40mph on a single carrigway that had 60mph signs on it. :?  And he was shock to hear that i had to obay different speed limits to him. The boss rung me and told me about the car behind and the fact he apoligised so i slow down and signaled him pass. And he gave a nice wave, which makes a change :lol:

i nearly took out a heard of ramblers!

pottering down a narrow, tight hill, passed a couple, slowed to give em room etc... exchanged "afternoon" and went round the bend......




...must have been 20, now bear in mind at this point the exhaust was suffering from leprosy, its fair to say they must have heard me!

however, it seems they though shear numbers make them invincible, a few turned round, then turned back and carried on walking! i prayed that my bullbar was on, but it didnt happen, it must have been 5 mins before the gormless sods decide that it would be ok to step on the grass verge and let me pass.

how rude!

Ja`s new pet hate - Red socked ramblers! (they seem to be the most stubborn variety)  :lol:
