Clio pushed by truck thread

[Kneel]

Thank god you weren't the investgator when one of ours killed someone.

Your logic is laughable. If he was asleep how the hell it he stay in the straight line for starters. Trucks wander a fair bit. Also him stopping it within a minute safely is incredable.

Where you've drawn your line of sight is also off by a fiar bit.

If i get time i'll nip to the yard and take a picture from the drivers perspective.

I'd leave it mate, he's the kind of halfwit that assumes that trucks have perfect visability from every angle. The concept of blindspots is lost on him. As it always is with the drivers in the UK, if a truck is involved in an accident its always the truck drivers fault, we're much much worse drivers than car drivers are despite spending thousands of miles each week on UK roads after having a lot more training than the average joe on his morning commute...

As a moderator i would assume you would know that personal attacks are not allowed according to your own rules (which i assumed you agreed to, as i did).

I would appreciate it if we kept the conversation on topic and did not start insulting one another

 

[Naith]

brilliant, go away troll/bell end/moaning sod

ohhhh noes that was a personal attack, or reality if u will.

stop moaning on and being a patronizing git, wont get you far on here.

(saying that it looks like you are a user using a second profile to me, or someone who joins up to post in a single lorry thread to cater to his articulated fetish)

 

[.GAZ.]

Spaniard, have you ever sat in a truck? Really? Don't lie now.

I only spend 10hrs a day/5 days a week in one, what the f**k would i know!

The reports say she phoned 999 on her mobile, Isn't that a £60 fine and 3 points?
Suppose she could of said he was driving and she was the passenger!

 

[.GAZ.]

Does this model of truck have a window in its dash for the line of sight you have shown!

 

[The Spaniard]

I used to drive 7.5 tonne lorries in the TA. Thats where i was taught to drive them, although i didnt need a test as i have an old licence. These were often pulling trailors. They were bedfords. I have also driven 7.5 tonne lorries all over the UK delivering furniture for a well known swedish furniture company.

No HGV experience at driving, but i have ridden in plenty. Usually green and pulling 65 tonnes.

 

[.GAZ.]

will she still get points and a fine for using her phone at the wheel i wonder?

Too slow.

 

[Psalm23_(UK)]

lol yeah i know but couldn't be bothered reading all the spaniards ramblings
just been on itv news saying driver suspended for now, standard practice though.

 

[Scadden182]

7.5 tonne lorries have a considerably smaller dash than a HGV....Spaniard were u there?

 

[swordjo]

Too slow.

Lorry drivers eh... I had a one mental one beeping and hanging out his window at me a few weeks ago.

 

[Joeh]

i lol @ this thread, driver has been susspended and police have re opened investigation, ill comment next when the tosser gets sacked as he deserves, seems the few drivers on here are driving gods after driving a hgv for 4 or 5 years on the agency, try 30 and then come back

 

[Curtis!]

TA, says it all really. TA, a soldier who never quite made it. 7.5t Driver, a HGV driver who never quite made it!

That why you're so bitter towards this class 1 driver? Jealousy?

Hmmm.

You have no HGV experience therefore no realistic imput to this subject!

There are umpteen Class 1 drivers on here telling you how easy this incident can occur yet you choose to talk shite and ignore us!

STAB.

That is indeed true, and the bedford's have good visibility.

Prick.

 

[Scadden182]

Thread should be locked now tbh cos it'll just end up being an endless debate about trucks and their drivers.

I drove a ride on lawn mower once, and I've been a passenger on buses loads. I totally know everything there is to know about every bus ever made!!

[The Spaniard]

Nice to see the respect you hold for your fellow servicemen. TA does have many ex-regulars in, as you should well know. I know personally 2 that fought in the South Atlantic in the 80s

They wil be chuffed that you think of them as nearly soldiers. Do you feel the same for their mates who got their heads blown away by a 7.62mm?

 

[Scadden182]

7.62 mms dont do much damage tbh...ive played MW1 and MW2 i know this to be true.

So, you're a war hero as well as an articulated lorry expert?

 

[The Spaniard]

5.56 mm will tumble in the air. It tends to do more damage than its size would suggest. 7.62mm will make a huge exit wound, and take most of your internal organs with it. .303 will go through an engine block.

I hope that i never have to experience any of them.

 

[Scadden182]

.50 is where its at tbh.

Have you even done small arms training?

I was a Challenger 2 Advanced Crewman, Small arms done nothing for me.

120mm FTW!
