I could go on forever about bad driving on motorways (especially lorry drivers
), and lets face it everyone makes mistakes and breaks laws/rules on the road, but i think lorry drivers should respect the fact that their driving a seriously lethal weapon, and sadly it seems many dont.
One other thing, how come at least 3 out of 4 (if not more) accidents/incidents on the motorways involve lorries!?!?!?! Cars out number lorries probably 3 fold at least, yet lorries are always involved one way or another when you hear the traffic reports or see an incident on the motorways!
Anyway, that makes my weekly rant about lorry drivers and bad driving complete for this week. Same time next week and im sure ill go off on one again!
OMG!!
thankyou sooo much someone with some road sense, ok i admit my answers might of been abit obscure but i can't help that, i'm a brummie wot do you expect lol,
but this is wot i'm getting at they never leave the correct gap, and another one is when they indicate and pull straight out or hold 2 lanes as one tries to overtake the other up a hill,
i'm quite sensetive to bad driving and besides wot some people think on here, i'm a safe driver and always get commented on it, yes i can make mistakes because i'm human and like to push the limit sometimes, so i'm not replying on this post just to make myself look perfect, far from it, and have admitted the times i've cocked up, which have always bar 1 time, only involved myself and been at relatively low speed's....
i think some people on here like to preach stuff they don't practice and it gets there back up because i'm straight forward and tell the truth about wot goes on, on our road's everyday without a blind bit of notice from anyone, we all break the law's on the road from parking to speeding to drinking a couple and it'll be alright to drive home, how many of you have done that before?, some people just don't like this fact being pointed out
sorry i went off on one myself, yea i totally agree back mate they are in control of about 30 tonnes of steel that will make a mess of a car in no time at all, and like you'v stated it's usually because they can't waste there precious seconds, admitted they are put on a tight schedule but that can't desmiss the fact they can put other people in lethal situations, maybe when it gets out of control they will get to the route of the problem and cut the drivers with some slack on the times, but you can't dismiss there bad driving as well i think lorry driving in general really need's a good look at, but wot hope have we got if the can't even run the economics of the country properly
