TOP TIPS FOR MOTORIST THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND
ROAD SIGNS = painted sheets of metal often found at the sides of roads/motorways these will display a place name, distance to said place and road/roads to use. please take the time to read and follow these signs instead cutting up HGV’S while you play with your phone/MP3 player or feeding the brats in the back crisps.
ZIG ZAGS = not for stopping on while you rumage through your glove box esecially if the road is a busy two way route in lancaster, if was fun trying to get the truck around you though.
BLINKERTY LIGHTS = more commonly known as indicators these are found on each corner of your vehicle and can be operated from a stalk on your streering coloum. please use these to warn other motorist of your direction of travel whilst negoitating junctions and roundabouts. failure to do will result in a 44 tonne tanker parking on your car roof and it hurts!.
EMERGENCY SERVICES = please pull to one side if its safe to do so, if you see a ambulance with flashing blue lights approach from behind. do not chuck your mini into a junction thus blocking it then wave and shout at the ambulance driver that you have gave him room to get past. read the above section on blinkerty lights and you would realise the ambulance had his on and was trying to turn into the junction you was blocking.
CARAVANS = i know how much of a hard week you have had in your 9 to 5 office job and are keen to get down to your favourite caravan site and show off your new, stupidly exspensive caravan. please do make sure you have hitched it up correctly and the tow bar is servicable before leaving your home however as losing it on the A1 on a busy friday night will embarass you and not endear you to the hundreds of road users you have delayed while HATO recover your bashed pride and joy.
SUMMARY= im sure you are all decent, hard working people who are nice and polite generally, dont ruin your life and that of others by driving like t**ts on the road
thank you

Fixed that for your Pete 
Looking at road signs? Heavens above man, what are you expecting? On approaching a junction the only looking that’s ocurring is at the Pratnav!
They sound like voices of experience there pete
Brilliant!!! And so perfectly true!
CARAVANS = When a lorry passes you MUST flash them back in as you are now a large vehicle and on entering the services please feel free to use the allocated caravan bays. This will save any further embarrasment while you attempt to reverse your pride and joy into a space three artics wide.
Thank you

If a truck passes me when taking my caravan out, I’m broken down so won’t be flashing you in

Agreed with everything else but I can’t totally condone the last passage about caravans. How about it being OK if they lose it on a bit quieter road than the A1?
Us recovery lads have to make a living too, you know.
I don’t know why you lot constantly slag off caravan drivers
Make sure you watch the whole clip

That’s waynedl on the Woodhead with his 230 Scania W&D. 
thinking of adding more then sending it to the DOT and asking if they mind putting it as a appendix in the highway code
As a lorry driver I never ever flash in caravans, don’t encourage them! I see it as my duty to be totally anti caravan without any real reason, to the point where caravanning drivers at my depot are lampooned at every opportunity. The O.P has no chance how many countless millions of motorists take to the roads in summertime and what percentage of them are competent, and besides who would provide the entertainment, double bubble on Tuesday and the chance I’ll be on the M5 marvelous.
I have to agree with the graffiti artist at Bridgewater services when he or she wrote “all caravanners should be gassed and their children sold into slavery”

LORRY “DRIVERS” = when it’s raining so hard that visibilty is seriously reduced, don’t bother switching your lights on. After all everyone knows that because you drive a big vehicle you’re “kings of the road” and are sure to see you through all the driving spray.
VEHICLE LIGHTING = these are a legal requirement and should BY LAW be kept clean. A thick layer of crud on rear lights is just that. It is NOT a badge of honour!!
SPEED LIMITS = these are the maximum speeds at which a given class of vehicle may travel. If you wish to exceed them and feel the need to position your lorry dangerously close to the rear of my car in a bid to “encourage” me to drive faster, I can, will, and do frequently call the police via my mobile telephone to report you for dangerous driving.
ROADS = single carriageway, double carriageway or motorway, these are for the use of all road users who are legally allowed to use them. They are NOT the sole preserve of lorry “drivers” who think that the world revolves around them.
Stones and glasshouses…

intresting you use the words stones and glasshouses implying that i shouldnt throw them as im no better than the people ive made comments on having seen their driving this weekend. well i drive safely, i make sure my lights are clean (whilst unloading i walk round clean my lights and hazard boards), i often have my side lights on whilst driving and headlights/fog lights when needed in bad weather. i stick to the given speed limits on roads and i would never tail gate a car as thats bloody stupid.
so unless you would like to enlighten me on where you have seen me driving like you suggest i have then maybe you should think before you post
