Dangerous driving

Whilst most of the truck drivers on Britain's roads are professional, carefull, considerate and responsible, this one clearly isn't. I contacted his company, sent them a copy of the video and they are now taking disciplinary action against the driver concerned. Many thanks to the MD of the company who contacted me and dealt with the matter. Clearly the company is more responsible than this driver was. I hope this will help eliminate dangerous drivers from our roads. You can help too by installing a video camera in your car and sending footage of dangerous drivers to the companies they work for.

@crazykiwi57 So you clearly agree that the trucker is an asshole? Well done Scouse! You are so stupid that even your insults are a compliment!

@kerednotsobig1 Of course, your comments have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you drive a car transporter, do they? Clearly you consider the actions of your fellow car transporter driver to be acceptable. I can only hope that we meet in the future so that I can present your boss with a video of you driving in the same manner. That way you can get a formal warning too. As a truck driver I don't expect you did very well at school, so get someone to help you read this..... MUPPET!!!

@churn159 His company tried to hide behind the fact that the Red No was not clear in the video. I was maintaining my distance from the car in front (again my fwd looking camera was U/S so I cannot show that) but ther was absolutely no room for him to get a truck that size into. He just didn't care and bullied his way in. There was no 'slamming' of brakes. You don't 'slam' your brakes on with 20+tons of metal behind you! I am not at all embarassed! He is though!

@TheYulster Exactly which planet are you from? I know that Belgium is a very strange place but you are abusing that strangeness........

@imcalledjon He didn't make make a mistake, he did that deliberately and didn't care that he had forced me off the road. I am not prepared to allow a deliberate attempt to drive me off the road to go without action on my part. Perhaps you are a better person than me because you are more forgiving, but I will not allow that sort of behavior to go unpunished. His boss didn't think so either.

@k98k9 I didn't get in front of him to show him the camera, I got in front of him to show his face to the camera, unfortunately he didn't want to talk to me. Having just tried to kill me that is probably because he thought I might try and show him the same lack of courtesy - or was it just because like all bullies he is a coward at heart? Do unto others!

@braddnichols I did speak to his company. I was trying to get his face on video so nobody could pretend that they didn't know who was driving. What I did was, in my opinion, perfectly reasonable considering he had just taken an action that could have resulted in serious injury or even death. You do not fuck about with 20+ tons of metal on the public highway without expecting a reaction.

@Dogslow Funny old thing, that was exactly what I was indicating for the driver of the truck to do. Given that he had just tried to kill me, he didn't seem too keen to do so. I can use the internet too, it isn't difficult to find Mr Bastable's name, even from Nevada. If you had actually bothered to read the statement that accompanies my video you would know that I DID talk to Sensible Transport. The driver was disciplined. Nuff said

@HantsCyclePatrol Thank you! The voice of reason shines out like a beacon amongst the shit posted by morons!

@honblue92 Actually it made me feel pretty good on account of how you clearly missed the entire point of the video and seem to think that big trucks have the right to drive how they want. Perhaps that is because you are a geeky little computer nerd who's only post is of a CPU fan! Get a life!
