m40 is one of these motorways I love, none of this smart motorway non sense. I find driving in Central london more enjoyable than the m25.

Nonetheless I hate driving on the m25 as of late, perfect example was today, coming back from the M3, all around Heathrow you can’t go above 10mph, and then at JCT 19, no warnings no nothing limit went straight down to 40mph for literally 2 gantries even though there was no traffic, and back up...

I’m usually foot down to the floor all the time as well, my trucks limited to 53mph (52 on satnav) never received anything either, usually through the 40mph bits I go through at around 44mph never had a problem either. Anyway I was just wondering about the Waze thing, I find it a bit weird that...

not sure how would waze know, the only ones it shows as off are the overhead grey boxes (old style cameras) make of it what you want, I don’t think I’ll be taking the risk anytime soon. the newer style cameras it shows as on.

Fair enough, did not know that. Do you know if these overhead gantry cameras that are above every single lane (picture above) work with the variable speed limits? I see people booting it through them and quiet honestly I never seen them go off, the only ones I see go off is the ones on the side...

@Scania You know a bit about the roads hence why I’m tagging you.

Hi, I couldn’t help but notice while driving today all over the m25 that waze apparently shows inactive cameras? Since when? it seems like most of the inactive cameras that are shown by waze are the old grey boxes that are overhead above each individual lane; am I missing something? I...

Worst one is they sit at 50mph and as soon as you try and over take them doing 55 in a HGV they speed up, like really?

I have seen that; gonna be a nightmare on the roads, however the gov website stated that these manoeuvres will be tested by a third party. after nearly 2 weeks of training I have gotten a bit more confident reversing, blind siding it is a different story still find that very difficult however...

went absolutely brilliant today, going to shops next week so looking forward to a new challenge.

I was moving trailers about today, helping the shunters out, the company I work for has the brand new DAFs they got the crawler gear going in reverse so that’s handy when reversing. I got the hang of it today to be quiet honest, must have moved 50 trailers or more today just non stop putting them...

I’ll try my best haha.

It’s a shame the actual test doesn’t prepare you in any shape or form for the real world, your kinda have to figure it out yourself.

Thank you for all the replies guys, I’m usually calm about stuff like this, I just hate it when people watch me from let’s say the office, when they clearly couldn’t do it themselves, but are willing to make fun of you for doing something wrong, it puts me off for some reason and that’s one...

Hi, Just a thread about reversing the artic lorry, has anyone got any tips that would slightly help with reversing onto really tight bay / parking in-between trailers. I have been driving the class 2 tippers for nearly 2 years now I’m only 22 years old I have decided to just go for it and...

Not really a tall trailer; it’s one of them walking floors tarmac ones, either way like u said I was doing under the limit so probably won’t hear much about it.

Just wondering if anyone had a similar thing happen to them, I pulled out of south mimms services back onto the m25, heading towards Enfield, the camera on the gantry randomly flashed, however there was no limit displayed (It was roughly 10am this morning) and I was going roughly 50mph as my...

I suppose time will tell, fingers crossed nothing comes through the post, if it does he has a clean license so it’s not a big deal and quiet possibly a course, just stupid how the law works when it comes to HGVs and them scameras. like I said camera definitely went off I seen it myself and so...

Top man, thank you.

Hi, Me and my old man were sent in the artic to central london today typical lorry drivers nightmare hahaha. Anyway, we were driving through the a1 (Holloway road) and had to turn right onto Camden Road. As I was turning both the ahead and turn right lights we’re green so obviously I was fine...
