Prejudiced, by any chance……..??;)
nope just glaringly obvious facts !! a car only driver has had to sit one simple driving test !!
even an entry level H.G.V. driver has taken basic car instruction and passed the test then progressed onto the H.G.V training and passed a far more rigid test
by this fact alone it beggars belief how any soley car licence holder can say they are better
and it is this pompus attitude truckers face every day
the stand out classic to me that has always stuck out to demmonsrate this
( proving a little knowledge can be dangerous !! )
the person ( saying it was a woman would probably be sexist !! ) deciding at the last moment to sharply hit her brakes and indicate about two feet from the turning for the petrol station
what followed can only be described as the best driving i have seen as a fully loaded 17 ton rigid bodied tipper with wheels locked billowing smoke from the tyres and being directed through the only gap bareley large enough to get it through successfully avoiding other moving cars and parked vehicles
she then entered the ( empty !!) filling station parked on the wrong side of the pumps
and when i said ” hell fire you were lucky there !!” i was greeted with ” why what happened ?? “
when told her response was ” well he can stop they have good airbrakes !!! “
this and watching how bad most are in supermarket car parks if i select a spot carefully i can manage to get a 7 1/2 ton truck parked and get out again with ease !! then get held up by someone struggling to get a fiat punto into two spaces !!
and that’s before you start on the buffoons with un needed 4x4s’
the evidence is all around if you take time to observe
unfortunately the average car driver doesn’t
as my ten years on motorcycles proved by numerous drivers pulling out infront of me including one collision
from someone who was that eager to get away from work he didn’t spot a dayglo orange motorcycle with headlamp on full and rider wearing luminous yellow jacket with scothbrite trim !!
