Boggert:
How about a Rant...

I was very nearly wiped out to day by some dizzy old git who just could not see a bis ass white car with yellow stripes and blue lights closing the road, all the traffic had stopped but thit idiot thought out of all the cars he was allowed to over take and go through the road closed sign at about 50mph.

Do's and don’ts of a police road closure...

Do's......

Slow down
Go where you are directed to (even if you are lost)
Wave you hand to acknowledge the officer.
Carry a map (Its not our job to tell you where to go)
Turn around safely


Don'ts....

Don't try to drive around the road block
Don't Wave you arms at the officer (Its not their fault the road is closed)
Don't shout at the officer
Don't Pull up and ask "Can I go through?" why should you be allowed to and everyone else has to turn around??
Don't try to blag it!
Don't ask "Well how an I meant to get home??"
Don't ask directions... Get a map or GPS!
Don't pull up get out and ask "What’s going on?"
Don't stop and stare


Ok guys rant over... I do feel a bit better... :lol:

The Landy Guy:
fair enough points there

gtomo2:
My moan is why when there is a small shunt in the say south bound lane  why is it the traffic in the north bound lane has to slow down to a 4 mph crwal to go pass it. Its very frustrating for us lgv drivers who are limited with driving time. and all it doues nine out of ten time is course a smash north bound as the rep on his /her phone piles into the slow traffic in front of them. I cal it the blue light syndruim like a fly attracted to the light on the fly zapper. Car drivers have to slow down as they look at the pritty blue lights.

gtomo2:
And why when a lgv is taking up two lanes of a road coming up to a sharp bend or junction in a town some one has to try and sqeeze down the gap between the truck and the pavement then try and go around the blind side as you are turning and taking up the whole road. Why can't they teach car drivers some does and don'ts of things not to do near a lgv.
