Lorry Drivers
We need to be free of this lorry tyranny and I have a solution. Permit them to use the main roads only between 8pm to 8am or deny them the right to overtake. Perhaps that might then make our road networks places that function smoothly.

Lorry drivers can be a real nuisance on the road. I hate them for the size of their machines and the reckless way in which they thunder through my village causing children and animals to flee.

| 18-4-2008 | Jack Knife,
The only reason you have a job driving a truck is because the govt. (God bless their tiny cotton socks) want the revenue from the fuel you use.
One train, one train alone can pull 51 of your trucks and cargo. All is needed is to build sidings but it won't happen because they ...more | Karl |
| 18-4-2008 | To the IDIOT who thinks truck drivers are the bad drivers. Yep, totally agree with you mate! I've been driving trucks for 25 yrs, running down to Spain and Italy, picking up consumer crap for you, your wife and your bloody kids. Take us all off the road and then maybe I could have a night in my ...more | JACK KNIFE |
| 04-4-2008 | The word 'Lorries' is a term most often referrred to a toy as a child. Sadly, those that operate them have not evolved from childhood.
Of low intelligence and nil self esteem. Scurge of this country and endeavour to be so. Futile attempts to string three words together is a life long e...more | Martin |

| 22-2-2008 | It is unfortunate, the majority of accidents and delays involve a Lorry on the M25. It does seem that Lorry drivers are very unlucky.
To give an example, M25 eastbound to M3 Exit. Alllanes nose to tail @ 35mph. I pass a lorry who is in the inside lane,Romanian plates. I am 2 car lengths past him an...more | Troll Slayer |

When cars hit each other up there back side because there talking on there phones or doing there hair the list go's on.As we are higher up in the cabs we see all what you do in your cars.

| 17-8-2007 | Yes, I'm aware it takes a while, I had this explained to me by a lorry driver friend of mine. However, when that lorry is already stopped there is no excuse for pulling out in front of a car. As you say, we all have somewhere to be, and that courtesy works both ways. | DJK |
| 15-8-2007 | DJK and others do you realise how long it takes for a truck to clear just one exit of a roundabout from a stand still.For a 8 meter rigid unladen is around 6 to 10 seconds, so instead of taking a roundabout at 30 mph just so you dont end up behind a truck (classic I must not be behind the truck syn...more | andy |
| 14-8-2007 | I came across this when I searched "Lorries through the night" You see my bedroom window looks out onto the main road in my village. I find it very frustrating when the noise of lorries keeps me awake at 1am, 2am, 4am. To suggest they should only be on the roads through the night is mad....more | DJK |
| 12-7-2007 | The only response to all of these comments is this. I am a lorry driver, so yes, I do side with the lorry. People want lorries off the road yeah. Ok lets do this, for two days we should take all lorries off the road. But I warn you, stock up on fuel, milk, bread, groceries, heating sources,
