And from what looks like considerably less than a safe stopping distance behind the two trucks too.cheets64 said:
Tax discs are on the left are they not? i.e. I thought his passenger took the snap, or, he has long arms?peterattheboro said:
I take it this is just a game they play and these people are seriously not that stupid?
They were side by side at 55 mph for a good 5-10 minutes and really irritates me!
Or do you mean my own double standards
Ahem.

I had to sit behind this on the M40 for about 10 minutes earlier this year. I wasn't happy.

This is about one of my worst hates on a dual carriageway. Two idiot truckers, and I mean they really are 100% stupid to be messing about trying to make a pass when it takes so much time. There is absolutely no excuse in the world for this at all. None. No kind of common sense to cover it, nothing anyone can say. Right there are two ego's racing. End of discussion as far as I am concerned.
Kudos on getting a shot though. It is sadly a commonplace thing to see.

If one was to do that and then duly wrecked ones motor running over the spent carcasses.... Why make a bad situation worse I do not know, but there is definately no law against thinking it.
My brother is a truck mechanic who works for DAF. Sometimes he has to drive articulated trucks from A to B so what he does is remove the limiter and do about 80-90 in the outside lane. He is mad but gets big rewards for getting the trucks deliverd quick

I see the truck-haters are out in force again, and this time they're mob-handed with 'The Know-It-All's' and 'The Armchair Experts'.
It wouldn't be OcUK without a truck-bashing thread...it's been a few weeks since the last one, I'm surprised it's taken this long.
I was at the hospital today getting an X-ray on my fractured femur and the waiting rooms have posters stating that 'anybody who is abusive towards NHS staff will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law'.
No wonder there is a driver-shortage...who really wants to have to endure the sort of abuse that mglover thinks is acceptable, in their daily job of work?
