Admin Vista Posted January 31, 2009 Admin Report Posted January 31, 2009 Were you sitting in his blind spot.... allways amazes me car drivers will sit in my blind spot all day hope your ok fella. I don't see that it's a car drivers responsibility not to drive in your blindspot, surely it's your responsibility to check it's clear? How is he supposed to know where the blindspot is on every vehicle? You on the other hand know where it is on your van and should check it's clear before manouvering?

Mr.Sumo Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 You think " white van man " is bad ? Yuo should have seen the HOYER ESSO TANKER driver i had to deal with yesyerday Comin home from Epsom , me tracter unit only , about 9a.m , coming down from the A3 into the silly isles ( where they hold the Marquis of Granby meet ) , theres about 500 yards before you meet the r"bout after the road works ...this t***r decides that he will use the right lane to go round to the right ....well anyone with an ounce of brain will know that you have to straddle the left / right lane because its soo tight to turn right , especially in a 40 foot artic......no indication at all , he puts a C class Merc up the kerb , but carries on regardless..... now he had passed me at about 50 comin down to the silly isles , but is now behind me again approaching Hampton Court Bridge...whats his next bit of quality driving ...you geussed it , overtakes me on the bridge no less with 100yds to the Hampton Court r"bout .....then turns LEFT from the right hand lane towards Sunbury / M3 i have EVER seen such crap driving in 25 years of Class 1....i just wish i"d had a video camera
