    Well ... lots of them anyway.

    Individual choice has a lot to answer for.

    And the r key on my lap-top is not playing the game.

    People should actually be more worried about the trucks with no placards...

    While I always obeyed the DG laws there are plenty of drivers who donÂ’t, either through plain ignorance/edumacation or desire to please boss/client and get the job done.

    There’s a lot more dangerous substances out there than the “glamour” danger items of bombs or fuel tankers. Which we won’t discuss for obvious reasons... but you’d feel safer next to a petrol tanker if you knew what was onboard at times...

    But now people are only scared of germs these days lol... I had a quiet laugh as I followed a stock truck on the bike today giving my immune system an update...

    I passed a full petrol tanker last thursday night
    I felt more safer than normal than when passing a car

    nice to see proper professional drivers on the road, giving way etc.

    I dont cut in front of these vehicles like most.

    the quality of truck drivers has decreased in the last few years......

    definitely less experience
    life insurance - doubt it
    lowest cost
    bargain basement

    a better quality driver used to be called steerers

    True ... but times have changed.

    Life insurance can be bought ... usually before dangerous employment begins.

    Not worth millions to the family after a death ... but it will pay a few bills.

    That year was amazing. No tickets, true - but opportunity for tickets was pretty high. I had a fast bike with a decent range and good lights. Hello, BMW K1200S. The course was a fast one, too, the weather was fine all the way, and a certain amount of Nth vs Sth pride at stake meant that it was all go from the start.

    Tales over a beer will explain all the tactics needed for that pace. The overall average speed, including all stops, was 120km/h. Once only at that pace!

    The heavy truck drivers up our way are unfailingly professional, it's the lighter vehicles like courier vans that make me grind my teeth. The only big rig drivers which I reckon could do with a bit of a tune-up are in those filthy trucks which haul scrap steel on the Southern and s-w Motorways. They seem to love intimidating other motorists.
