...is secretly a truck driver who keeps taking out the central reservation on the M5?

Not that I mind a day orf, but us freelancers get paid by the day, ya know!

Hmm - just thought of a new tailgate badge for the car...
 
Why thanks you sir! Dunno why, but it has slipped into my vocabulary recently and has become my weapon of choice against numpty car drivers at the mo'. I've noticed my wife shouting at drivers now in my rather colourful language so I'm trying to tone it down so as not to teach her too many swear words- good practice as I have a nipper on the way... It's either 'wazzock' or 'cock-holster' at the mo'. Groovy words, man..
 
He took time of and smashed through the central reservation of the M1 near Toddington on Wednesday

On a related note those truck drivers are doing my head in overtaking each other all the time
No wonder there are so many crashes
 
Well another one took out the M25 this morning between J25 & J24. Really seems to have messed up the road system all round London.
 
So I wonder what causes these trucks to self destruct all the time? They're not supposed to fall asleep all the time like in Spain due to the imposed rest stops, and as long as their hitch hiker is well taped up in the back with an apple in their mouth, even that shouldn't be much of a distraction. And let's not even start on the amount of blown out truck tyres on the verges...
 
There are companies out there that flout the rules. I've heard drivers tell me they have to turn the tachometer off so that they can get back to the yard, or they are out of a job...they will be out if a job if they crash....
 
There clearly is a problem with the way things are done
Blown out tyres every other mile
Crashes every day and don't get me started on those left hand drive eastern european trucks pulling out in front of me flaunting everything ever written in the highway code

ferking barsteward nearly run me of the road with a 2 ton load behind me on a trailer

How about a Sunday driving ban for starters
Be nice not to be stuck behind a lorry for one day of the week
 
My biggest pet hate is the duelling lorries, where one goes to overtake as it can do 0.5mph faster. naturally it takes 10 miles to overtake, and just before it does- there's an incline and the inner lorry can catch up..

Oh, and of course they will just signal and pull out at the same time with no warning whether there is a car there or not. Really used to **** me off when I was bombing along at 70 with NOTHING behind me, yet the cock-holsters can't wait for me to pass first- they simply must pull out in front of me forcing me to slam on the anchors and sit there for miles while they 'overtake'.
