Doesn’t look like he’s gonna come on and speak for himself though despite the prodding, I’d love to see him come on and try and justify his actions,… Come on mate we’re waiting

Be waiting along time, probably read his statement that his solicitor reads out one day when he’s in the press after wiping a family out until then we should expect nothing other than his silence.
His actions appear to be out of order and indefensible. Posting them on youtube and then looking for support here is a stupid thing to do.
However, playing amateur detective, calling for investigations by various agencies, mentioning Police Officers by name and posting pictures of people you would wish to see investigate an allegation is also stupid and peurile.
There are enough parties with vested interests against our industry, can you imagine these people reading this thread?
I’m not defending him and I’m not saying people shouldn’t feel free to criticise anything, I’m against the way people are doing it.
It’s embarrassing.
I feel a locked thread coming on

Not at all Rob. Nothing here that breaks the rules afaics (well, if the mods really wanted to be pedantic there are a couple of minor infractions but I don’t think things have gotten that bad here yet 
).
Just seems like he’s trying to make a point of everyone else’s bad driving but at the same time contradicting his own driving. As a professional, you should allow and compensate for the poor standards of driving by the British public, not join them.
I’ve not said he should be reported etc. I did say it would be interesting to get a coppers point of view. This was meant in regard to if it could be classed as an offence. This is purely out of my own curiosity and not to land someone in it.
I’m actually more interested in getting Chris’ point of view about the whole situation but he seems to have gone shy.
Just remember this man when your insurance premiums go up at your next renewal.

Ahh well! Doesn’t look like there’s an explanation forthcoming for being likened to a complete knobhead

Hi all
Thanks for your comments, I will take them on board and will consider the criticism. The threats to pass on my details to the police I believe is not called for as the police saw the incident ( involving the car at the roundabout) and offered to help. Along with the threats ? to contact my employer, please don’t waste my employers time as they have a copy of the videos too.
I feel the personal comments about the shape of my head are childish, I don’t comment on other drivers/persons body shape.
The incident involving the head-on on the M1 was not my fault, the said car was hit by a luxenbourg truck as he over took me and spun the car in to my path ( yes I was driving on the hard shoulder as the matix signs opened it up ) the car drove towards me with no where for me to go to avoid him.
Im not spineless southerner, I didn’t realise the was thread on here criticising me until it was pointed out.
Thank you all for your time and sometimes nasty comments/threats, no doubt more abuse will be aimed at myself for replying.
Takecare and drive safe
Fair play, coming back to respond is good, what’s better is that even with a bit of sarcasm, you haven’t gone on the defensive.
I hope you do take on board the comments, you’ll enjoy the job a lot more without the constant near misses and all the hollering and hooting you do.

Thank you. I do enjoy the job. I have done ever since i got in a truck. I used to go out with my dad when i was a kid.
Fair play as well for posting a response with some humility. I would be disappointed if anyone did contact your employer particularly after the recent Harry Monk debacle.
However, you really do need to sort your choice of lanes, road positioning, forward planning and mirror use as an absolute matter of urgency. In the vid where the Merc swerves violently it’s things like that you need to be driving in a manner that prevents them to start with.
I do hope that nobody grasses, there’s no need for grassing. Even though this thread has got people all bent out of shape, there’s a line and it shouldn’t be crossed.
Just in case though, I’d shut that youtube down sharpish.
But…save the videos yourself and look at them carefully, see where you’re going wrong, in 99.9% of the times that a near miss occurs, you could have prevented it by using better lane discipline.
Also take on board the criticism, use this as the kick up the arse you need and learn from it. Even the holiest amongst us have been an ■■■■■■■■ at some point, most of us didn’t do it every time we got behind the wheel though
Well, fair play for coming on & saying your piece. Like i’ve said, I don’t think most of the vids were that bad, you just seriously need to chill out a fair whack when you’re behind the wheel & not be racing/competing with other road users so much! I know some people have anger management issues, there’s books for that.
I think your head is a normal shape & it’s just the angle of the camera lens in that shot of you that makes you look elongated.
I’m sure it’s been a touch stressful with all the gang criticism but as i’ve said previously in other threads, if you post videos of your driving on you tube or on here, prepare to be lambasted.
Oh, & try not to take it too personally, we’re just ranting in the arena. Well, I am anyway.

yeah fairplay for replying but that last video on the roundabout was no accident, you saw your chance to hit that car just because you had it on video and knew you would get away with it, you need to sort out your hatred of other roadusers or get a job doing something else before its too late.
