Thunderbird:
I watched a 44t one night on the M1 at 3am in the morning doing 80mph plus under its own steam in the outside lane. Nothing for the old school drivers I except but seeing that coming through the fog at that speed and at that time of the morning (black unit and trailer) certainty woke me up some!
That’ll be the Evil ‘Rig’ out of Duel. Where the Wagon chases Denis Weaver across Yankee Doodle Dandy Land after a Road Rage Incident.
You never see the drivers face, but he wears Cowboy Boots with Special Kicky Tyre Pressure Guages in 'em.
I’ll confess to drinking a lot of tea/coffee when in motion (think this is is compulsory for truckers) and also a sneaky ■■■■ or 10 on my vape ciggy, I will also habitually change the position of my little chap as he seems to get a little squashed into my scrotum during long journeys (possibly too much information), i’ve also been known to sing and even tap the old feet to keep the blood flowing.
But phones a definate no-no. My sat nav has the ability to bluetooth with it but with one small downside, in that I can’t hear the caller and the caller can’t hear me, not so much ‘bluetooth’ more ‘notooth’.
I saw a CZ truck driver watching a film on his Dvd/Lap top.
His windsreen was full of cheap rubbish,such as flags and other hanging articles.
Not sure how he could see out.?
What really amazes me is seeing people on the phone, in high spec cars which 9 times out of 10 come with good factory fit bluetooth systems as standard. Really no excuse for it there
Best one i have seen in a while was a woman in lane 2 of the M11 eating a bowl of cereal!
I once touched the rumble strip when I sneezed. God have mercy on me.

& a lot of those Hi Spec New Cars come with Broken Indicators as standard !(especially on roundabouts) [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]
Car indicators are an optional extra when you buy a car.
Everybody drives their car or truck like a fire engine on a 999 call out.You are in the way,i am coming through anyway.
Was overtaken by a blue volvo artic hauling a container on the m3 last week, he was easily above 85mph. Was about half 10 at night, never seen any vehicle that size move that fast.

The idiots that amaze me are the ones who not only talk on their phones but haven’t got the common sense to hold it to the ear thats not next to the window 
How stupid can a person be FFS ?
I don’t know what the punishment is over there but over here if a truck driver is caught using a cell phone without a hands free device it’s a $2,750.00 fine, except in Massachusettes where anyone over 21 can use one without a fine … How stupid is that ?
Is there a big difference in accident rates between Massachusetts and other states where mobile phones are a contributing factor?
Genuine question.
