Not the best taste of subject words RIP, gods speed, drive

Pretty poor taste, joking about a driver who sadly lost his life going about his duty… :imp:

Very poor taste - uncalled for :frowning:

Well done to all those “professional” hgv drivers using lane 3 to beat the queues on the a12. Credit to the profession

I’m assuming you think there’s some problem with using Lane 3…?

Have I missed something? HGVs are allowed to use lane 3…

From a photo I’ve seen the truck looks like a recovery truck, not your normal everyday choice of truck to move containers.
I wonder if the “batteries wired in series” have something to do with recovery?
