Quote ="cod'ead"I do but some still see all that's wrong with Britain's roads as being the fault of trucks and their drivers. All this despite the number of cars on the road increasing, year on year, over the last 20 years, while the number of trucks has steadily fallen. Mind you, easy enough mistake to make, especially if the truck in front is preventing you reaching your destination 20 seconds earlier.'"
In fairness though, lorries on a motorway are pretty scary, especially if you're the passenger in a small car etc. If we're on the way to like say, Alton Towers, and you're on the M6, lorries in & out of lanes it's not nice. I spend the whole journey dunging it like it's the ending to Final Destination VI. You zoom past the lorry to ease the nerves and when you look in, it's usually a European chap who looks knackered munching a Kit-kat, I'm shouting through the window 'Take a break mate, take a break'*, by the time you get there you're chuffed to get on the Nemesis to relax.
* When I say take a break, I do genuinely mean that tiredness kills, I'm not alerting him that Asda do a similar, no frills, cheaper alternative to the kitkat.
