People in London seem to be the worst at trying to squeeze past you on a tiny roundabout.

the kind of driver not giving you room at roundabouts is certainly not the type to be taking any notice of signs.Car driver - What lorry?.. The one in front of that bus… What bus?
My favourite truck sign used to be ‘No hand signals - driver eating Yorkie’. We often used to think - the chocolate bar or the small dog?
I do however like those ‘how’s my driving signs’ with a phone number underneath. Especially when the trailer is wedged under a low bridge or buried in the side of someone’s house.
I had one of those put on the back of my trailer by one of my “mates” I got seven calls by the end of the first week
They were all stupid things like using two lanes to turn left, straight lining a small roundabout etc, nothing criminal or even bad driving on my part. I did have one report of excessive speed and using the third lane, but I was late for a football match and I was goalie and it was a company team and we were playing one of our major customers, so I got away with that due to mitigating circumstances
I always had my own trailer as I was on a dedicated contract, so I had a sticker made with new numbers, I was thinking of going for a Venezuelan ladyboy chat line or similar, but went for the Samaritans instead
You might wanna consider using a number for mental heath hotline or the suicide hot line, could have loads of fun with that on a sticker

Hows my driving stickers are a waste of timeSaddo’s just phone that number because they haven’t got a life…and its all BS they come out with, lie upon lie with out any physical proof
Funny how ppl can drive and still take down a number and phone in whilst there still driving
Hello Yes, I’d like to report one of your drivers. No his driving was absolutely fine, I was just wondering where he had got the ugly tablets he had appeared to overdosed on and whether he had ever given consideration to washing his fluorescent jacket?
The only person that has a legitimate reason to comment on the driving ability of a hgv driver, is a cyclist trapped under the wheels perhaps? At least after 10th Sept we will all be above reproach then as the little blue cards with advise people we are qualified drivers.

It’s funny, in my near miss thread on the other forum there’s guys saying, “you over reacted, you could have stopped” aye, maybe if I’d have anchored & shot my load through me & in to her back doors…so we get to the real culprit - insecure load
I’m sorry, I realise it was a terrible ordeal but I just couldn’t help myself
Ok Lolz. I reacted a bit badly to the criticism, I’m man enough to apologise. I haven’t read any more of that trouser thread & shan’t.
I wholeheartedly assure you that the video didn’t look as bad as it was. I didn’t see her till her roof was right in front of me. I was petrified. Took me ages to get to sleep that night. I probly could have emergency stopped but I am conscious of the load all the time, I’d only had the camera a week & forgotten it was there.
You should set your seat higher SS. Not trying to teach you to ■■■■ eggs but I’m amazed by lots of drivers who look like midgets when behind the wheel and turn out to be 6 footers once they dismount.
I find a fresnel lens on the window does often mean your peripheral vision can catch someone on your near side up to potentially dangerous tricks much more so than the new front mirrors which only seem good for avoiding scraping the bumper on bollards. It does scare me how much stuff it picks up I hadn’t clocked in the mirrors
