I’ve had 3 motor accidents within the last 9 months. Two of them write-off’s.
Women drivers
other HGV drivers who wont back off when it takes 10 miles to overtake (why is it that you have enough speed over them to catch & draw level with them but as soon as your cabs are level the inside motor finds that extra bit of speed to hold you out??)
Coppers that feel the need to shut 2 lanes of motorway 'coz sombody has broken the rear lense of the motor in front.
Traffic wardens
Security guards who think they hold more powers of search than the police
Delivery destinations that wont let you overnight in their yard
Prologis (see above)
Diversion signs that run out half way through the diversion
Towns with 7.5t weight limits except for loading (If they dont want lorrys in there then make them pick their own goods up from the warehouse)
beurocracy (sp?)
Oh and at the moment truck dealers that sell you brand new motors without rectifying faults even tho they’ve had the vehicle since Feb & known of the faults for months.
People who drive with out thinking about what they are doing.
I hate bad,thoughtless driving & parking.
Driving is a privilege, yet far too many put less concentration into driving than into watching TV.
Some even take pride in telling you that they could not pass a driving test now due to having far to many bad habits, as if being a couldn’t care less moron is a good thing.
Drivers who stare at you when you are broken down on the hard shoulder and don’t realise that they are heading towards you!! “Get back in your lane!!”
It’ll all make sense soon!!

None were my fault.
How could you be so cruel?
I am probably due another one soon.
So you are welcome to a lift anytime!
uvox82:
When driving at night, the [zb] that put their main beam back on just before they go past leaving you blinded for a moment and doesn’t give you enough time to do it back…[zb]
This happen to anyone else or just me
or just have the arrogant attitude of not turning them off at all.
None were my fault.

Nope
You should be Ok now as Bad things happen in three’s remember
Unless Your starting on your next three
Joking !!!
A few of my pet hates are:
Car drivers who refuse to pull out into lane 3 to let you pull out to lane 2.
Car drivers who pull out in front of you on single carriageways, but don’t accelerate quickly to get out of your way. The bigger the engine they have, the slower they accelerate.
Roadworks on motorways with a 40mph limit.
Roadworks on motorways with width restrictions on lane 2.
Rental 7 tonners who nearly always cut you up.
All ford transit vans, especially lutons. They are without doubt the slowest vans ever built. They creep past downhill, but the slightest incline they slow to 30mph, usually still in lane 2.
Farmers with no lights on their trailers. Guarantee they turn right as soon as you start to overtake.
Parked up for the night in a layby on a nice quiet road and some fellow truck driver thinks its funny to give a blast on his air horns as he drives past.
This has happened to me twice in the last 2 months and its usually about midnight time.
i hate it when the sack truck you are using has those moulded handles that suddenley come off in your hands when you are trying to pull them upstairs/up a kerb and leave you in a heap feeling very embarrassed
Drivers Who:
Use High Intensity Foglights in good visibility or rain
Don’t indicate at Junctions, roundabouts, overtaking, changing lanes, etc
Hog the centre lane of a motorway
Dive accross from lane 3 to a motorway exit at the last second
Tailgating
Have poor awareness, don’t anticipate what other traffic needs
Use phones whilst driving
Force their way onto a carraigeway from a slip or acceleration lane whether its clear or not or whether you can move out or not
and many of the things already mentioned by others here.
People asking stoopid questions
Don’t know why some car drivers seem to genuinely believe that it’s ok to stay on full beam on motorways at night, no matter how many times you flash them.
P.S. Simon, have you tried my employer (UFD)? Took one of Wishart boys on recently.
agency who promise you the streets are paved with gold till you get and they are covered in ■■■■ like everywhere else.
RDC security staff.
How thoroughly can you check the inside of an empty truck thats just tipped.
AND, if I was going to nick something why would I put it in the back of a 40 foot fridge with nothing else in it so it would stand out.
AND …
Bus drivers who have their right hand signal on while loading passengers.
Drivers who wait at traffic lights giving no signal and then put it on when the lights change.
Suicidal scooter riders, particularly in Chelsea, that think it’s OK to overtake you anyway they can.
4X4 drivers that can’t reverse. Seem to be plenty of them about during the school run time.
A lots already been mentioned …
no indication
tailgateing by any vehicle
swoopers on and off any type of road
the thanks for letting me out onto the motorway and to repay you for your kindness i,m going to hold you out .
( and just for the record i no longer move over at any slip roads , they give way to me not the other way round , as the highway code states, i also remember some time back on the A14 i couldnt move over anyway but this bmw refused to back off , he was to busy watching me didnt have enough speed and ran out of sliproad , bounced up the kerb onto the grass )
the sandwich manouvere
( truck in lane 2 , your in lane 1 and cars/vans/trucks try to move into some imaginery space off the sliproad , thus causing the sandwich effect )
foglights coming on when someone blows ■■■ smoke out the window
people trying to squeeze by on roundabouts
people coming down the manouver space you have left for a turn
( i have started a turn and stopped halfway knowing full well there is a car there and then made them reverse out of my turn space … all about teaching them a lesson )
cocky warehouse staff
brain dead security
full beamers
loads there must be more
I hate my cat when he ■■■■■ and doesnt bother to tell me and then he buggers off out of the room!!!
No indication, people racing around roundabouts, fog lights on when you are right behind someone, finding the tank empty, struggling to find a fuel station that takes your card, limiter racing, parking at the fuel pumps to go to the shop, cars parking anywhere they like, realising your first drop is at the front of the trailer, getting stuck behind someone doing 40, then doing 35 in a 30 limit, cars that wont exit roundabouts just because there is a car at the right exit, being given the wrong directions, realising your company has just got rid of a bad fm7 with a worse fl10 (i mean if they are running out of graves i would have quite happily cremated the fm7, but luckly it is not my truck), finding £20 to 30 short on your wages.
The list can go on a long while really
