11-4-2008All lorrys should be made by law to only drive in inside lane they are poor drivers they never look or signal they just pull out. Most are old men who should be made to take test again. And as for foreign ones. WELL they are even worse.Proper driver.
31-3-2008All milk floats and JCBs should be banned from the roads during the morning rush hour from 6am onwards till 10am. Cyclists should be banned altogether from roads which are 50 mph, like the North CIrcular RoadI hate milk and bikes

24-3-2008As a lorry driver and a biker I do appreciate your problem. Its silly in this day and age that we are restricted to 40 mph and 56 on duel and motor ways. About the railway thing, my work does a lot of work for asda, the stuff comes up on train in containers, the containers get lifted onto traile...morerik

07-3-2008no point you going to work as the lorry delivering the shelf for you to stack beans on has not turned up because it was banned from the roads between 8 and 10BIG A
04-3-2008I've been a professional driver for the 20 years since I passed my car test and just about to take my LGV test at last. A daunting prospect I can assure all car drivers. The one point that everyone seems to be missing here is that if we ALL slowed down a bit, paid more attention and were a l...moreThe Little Skip Truck
27-2-2008Last Tuesday I was stuck behind a red lorry on a 'B' road for 50 mins and I must write it was soul crushing. Can't you give us all a break and go and drive your lorry in and around Baghdad for a change?Leo
26-2-2008The goverment needs to change our road speed limits as its no fun for us doing 40mph in a 60 mph road either and the grief we get from car drivers pulling out in front of us and cutting us up doesnt help much either ,remember car drivers we need a longer distance to brake !!!!Pete
