Why do so many truckers not put their lights on after lighting up time.When it is getting dark that is a bit of a clue to turn the headlights on.Many like to run with side lights on at dusk too.
What I find strange though is drivers who put full beam on just because it’s 7pm yet there isn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun is still shining.
I run with my lights on before it gets dark, and after it is sufficiently light. I do this because in the event of an accident I can tick “yes” on the part of the insurance form which asks “Was the vehicle lit?”.
I feel as if lorry drivers are somehow more liable, as they appear, to me at least, to always bore the brunt of blame. If I can cover myself in a few more ways then I shall.
Really annoys me when you open your window to speak to site staff when it’s raining, yet they open the door instead.
Drivers who just come over, open your door and ask what work you’ve got. And it’s always easier than theirs.
Oh and banksmen/security staff who just because you’re waiting, think they have some right to sit in your passenger seat and talk nonsense in broken English. Sorry mate, you chose to stand in the hot sun/pouring rain/freezing cold for £6.50 p/hour…
I had a Morris Ital estate and drove everywhere with my side lights on so everybody thought it was a Volvo. No name plate though.
Does it really matter… NO 
it doesn’t…more important things to worry about…
my pet hate is people who repeat themselves over n over n over like a stuck record

My pet hate.Anti social drivers that hide in the cab.Curtains shut when parking up for the night.
When doing European driving it was the social thing to meet up with fellow Brits.Have a meal.A few shandies.Then share the taxi fare back to the truck.
Those days of camaradie are long gone.
It is everyman for himself now and the I am right Jack mentality now.
When clearing customs in Portugal it was drop the trailer.Find a beach for the weekend.
If you saw a broken down Uk truck or tyre blowout back then you would stop and help fix the problem.
One day it may be you with a break down and the guy you helped returns the favour back.If you offered money it would be offensive.
park up in the 70s 80s next driver to you would always go for a pint and a meal. I never forget a time I came acros a wagon with a blow out .it was when mobile phones had just come out I knocked on his cab and said do you want a hand to change wheel he just looked at me and said f off I have a mobile phone fitters coming.as you say all camaradie as gone
Now that was downright rude, no excuse. I would have said thank you for offering but the tyre co. is coming out as i have already rung them. Manners cost nothing.
