Red Glee northbound A12 0600 this morning
« on: October 27, 2017, 07:10:25 »
On my way home this morning after night shift and you passed me just before the Green Man roundabout .... I moved over to let you pass safely and you waved  .... I was doing the regulation 50mph  :whistle:

A likely story Holmsey, the end of the month you'll nick anyone won't you? :)

@TLP. ... Nah .... got my quota for the month..

You would have loved the driver of a 40 footer (well known supermarket chain) I got .... Who negotiated and 6 foot width restriction. .. contravened 7 prohibition signs and drove through the Rotherhithe Tunnel damaging internal workings on his way through.

Scary, truly scary.

In a proper terrifying way.

It's not just him though is it? The poor bleed*r just wants to earn a living, he must have had an assessment at some stage, somebody must have signed him off as suitable? Somebody must have sorted him out with a route that didn't include all the restrictions? Please tell me they did.

@TLP. .. Had an assessment. .. induction course .... and was given written instructions of which way to go but he chose not to follow them.

I'm not surprised anymore with the standard of lorry drivers. .. I see too many each day .... As long as someone is willing to drive companies will employ them as there is a shortage.

It's people isn't it, no wonder there is such a clamour for autonomous trucks.
