Long shot but does anyone have the number off the back of the trucks for Hows my Driving as i need to report a truck that pull out on and then ran a red light

Surely they are truck specific. If not then they must be fleet specific. So what sort of truck was it?

One of the articulated lorry style ones, the big ones. Ive got the code number off his "How's my Driving" badge on the back.

Just guy was a moron I was coming round the round about from his right and he looks at me and carries straight on pulling out even though im like 20 feet away had to almost stop though i wasnt going fast so anyway i beep my horn a few times to show what i think and the guy slows right down to annoy me though it didnt really bother me as i thought whats the point as you cant win with people like them, we get going again and ive hung back abit as this guy is clearly a donkey the road is only 30 and hes doing way more and there is some traffic lights coming up and they have changed to red and he goes through them without even attempting to stop they must have been on red about 5 seconds. Any way this guys is sooner or later going to cause an accident and needs to be reported.

I saw one in America that said

"Hows my Driving?, Dial 1-800-EAT-****" Made me chuckle!..

Anyhew BOT, I always thought most of em were proporetry numbers per company!... Eddie Stobart, Lynx etc all have their own!.

You should report him to the police as well, idiots like that shouldnt be allowed to drive lorries as they have a greater responsibility on the roads. Clearly this guy can't handle that responsibility and will end up killing innocent people.

Absolutely, however, I'd like to hear the truck drivers view of the given situation, also, has the OP ever been behind the wheel of a truck? They have blind spots which in my experience, drivers often think a trucker has seen them when in fact, he has'nt.

If the blind spots on this truck drivers truck cause him to drive through red traffic lights its time he found a job he's actually half good at

Sometimes, its a smaller risk to jump the light than to try & stop although in such a siutuation, your obviously driving the truck too damn fast for the conditions.

I can see myself digging myself a big hole here, I'm just saying there is another side of every story.

He does sound something of a nutter that driver though! :rolleyes:
