    Is this lorry driver a bully or intoxicated?

    Most HGV drivers really annoy me as they have no or very little consideration for other road users. This car driver called the police 6 times and had to wait 3 hours for a response. M1 lorry shunts: Police failed to attend call for three hours - BBC News

    Why do some lorry drivers think keeping their momentum is more important than safety?

    One of the things I find most frustrating is HGV drivers who pull out in front of you - or even into the space you are occupying, forcing you to swerve into the next lane. Often, with no indication whatsoever. I know they need to keep up momentum, but this should never take precedence over...

    Lorry driver obs....

    Talking to an old neighbour yesterday who mentioned over the course of the last month or so has never seen so many broken down MBs on the hard shoulder for as long as he can remember. Is this true? Not one too lie either as he loves my S211.
