Lorry drivers think they rule the road

This is the General Lounge for most things to do with our roads. Indeed, most of us, at some time, use the road system in some way. With this in mind, users may post their experiences or observations here.

Lorry drivers think they rule the road

Well they do.
They drive trucks with big engines but are slow moving and are dangerous in high winds.
They sit high up in the cab and look down on the lasses cleavages as they drive past.
Then they toot at you for the least little things.
Still we can't do without them.

I find lorry drivers or truck drivers to be ok in the main.
The problem I have with them is when they overtake each other at one mile per hour more than the other.
By the time they overtake you are two miles down the road.
Most other times I don't have an issue with truck drivers or those drivers of the big lorries.
My other car is a Reliant Robin and you can say what you like!

I hate passing the big trucks and lorries.
They can get my car to sway a bit.
I always grip the wheel tightly when I overtake a lorry.

I remember the song "Convoy" very well.
Also there was the other song called "Convoy GB" by Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks :lol:

The worst thing about lorry drivers is when one overtakes another at a half a mile an hour faster.
It can take a good few minutes for the overtaking maneuver to complete.
After its done there's a mile long queue of traffic waiting to pass.

Driving past these massive vehicles has some influence on your car.
Every time I pass one I get the jitters :lol:
I never have anything bad to say about lorry drivers though.
You never seem to get into too much hassle with them, well I don't!

The lorry drivers are a breed of their own.
I never get in difficulty with them but they can be annoying when they overtake each other.
It takes them so long and you often wonder why they do it :lol:
Go ahead punk, make my day!
