Bloomin shocking if you ask me.

saw this on another thread, the truckers language is a bit ripe

I love the fact they tried to pull over into the central reservation!

Northern not ripe

They fully deserved that! Police flash them several time, no response. They then proceed to brake test them... Talk about erratic driving!

Do alot of motorway driving and i encounter at least one nearly everytime,

Should be more coppers like that about

Sorry for repost just seen it in another thread on here.

Reading quickly through the other thread it seems a lot of people seem to get tail gaited and flashed like the the knob head in the above video and seem to get upset about it??? So is it ok to sit in the outside lane at 70 mph or less when the other lanes are empty?? I think not as the idiot in video found out.

Totally agree Mr Rooney.

Sounds like the trucker was on the phone, hope it was hands-free, or he is just as bad the ####### ####

Of course it was, he needed his hands for eating and/or strangling hookers!

And peeing into a bottle while driving!

Now in defence of Mr Trucker. (And this is a story I've heard from the truckers mouth).

Lot of years ago ,before the 56MPH thing came in, bloke was making "good progress) (familiar term?) along a Highland road in the small hours. Set of lights came up behind, and he sped up to find a place to let bloke pass - that's driving in those conditions. Next came the dreaded blue lights and a ticket. Next week, same bloke was heading up same road. Similar proceedure. But Trucker braked a bit sharper ,and ( surprise - squad cars brakes aint as good as air brakes).

I've had similar- I let a police Sherpa move over.Then ,without warning, it swung acros me.Bit of paint polishing and all was well. But ,the Inspector jumped out to tel me that he'd instructed driver to change lanes. I gave this tale to our local CBO - he would have given his two legs to have an Inspector kiss ass like that.

I avoid motorways like the plague, but I encounter such driving every time I do get on a motorway/dual carriageway

Gets worse the further south I go in general. Maybe it's just that there are more people.

I travel the motorways quite a bit and always see lane hoggers. Wish i could witness something like this.

No, there really are some dickheads down here. Although I did see justice served the other night... guy in a Cooper S was lane jogging, I was on the inside lane... police car came up behind him, flashed him. Mini brakes, indicated to the police car as if to tell them to go round. Policeman flashes again, Mini brakes again. Blue lights come on, Mini ****s himself and gets the **** out the way!

They are definitely getting worse. It seems everyday on the way to work I get cut up or you get people not indicating on roundabouts. The latest one is people in old bangers quite happily nosing through gaps knowing you'll have to yield the position. They couldn't care less if their car gets hit. Knowing the scum round here it's not insured either.

Well I was on the M25 last week, between the M1 and A3 at about 2230, and almost everyone was sat in lanes 2 and 3 (of 4), almost nothing was in lane 1 except little old me! And no one ever changed lanes, they'd finish overtaking and still be in lane 3 a mile later; discipline was much better a few junctions up on the M1! Although it wasn't at all busy at the time so no one was really causing any hold ups, but I was down there earlier in the day and it was fairly chaotic.

Having said all that, I think 4 lanes just makes British drivers fall apart, get similar problems (although not to the same extent) on the M1 near Nottingham.

And, of course, there's the M8 through Glasgow at the M80, M74 and M77 merges, where you have no fewer than 5 lanes for significant distances. Sadly, the fun on the Kamikazi has been a bit spoilt by some of the lanes being closed.

Does that mean I may be right?

Seriously, the amount of crap driving I see every day makes me blanch. Lane hogging, cutting up people, the 'flying past at 95mph before merging as the lane ends' brigade, lane weavers... there are so many accidents on the M3 and M27 because of ******s whose self-estimated talent is only eclipsed by their idiocy.

Just want to move to my own little island and have it to myself.

I use these roads alot and the amount of crap driving is crazy...

Sunday night coming up to the west country there was someone sitting the right hand lane for no reason on the a34, doing 70, not catching the car up half a mile ahead, about half a mile behind previous car behind me, and he just sat there. Normally I'd just undertake these morons but decide to flash him. He moved over and as soon as I'd past him he moved back :S

I now have witness driver app on my iPhone so i can video the cretins who could never pass a driving test and post them up on YouTube , twitter and forums so they can be enjoyed by everyone just like the lorry driver in this thread .

Surely he was doing 60mph if you caught and overtook him

Chris

Yeah, sorry my finger slipped on the keyboard (not my right foot on the accelerator)

There does seem to be a problem with idiots on the A34 though. It's the road where I've seen the majority of all those I've ever seen
