    I didn't know what he was doing until he took his foot off the gas and sat beside the car with an ever increasing gap in his lane in front of him.
    Go back and read your original post, photo 3 shows you on the left of the truck, so you've been able to drop back behind the trailer unit at some stage [unless you have found a flash way of getting over, under or through the trailer drawbar] so at this point in time go one further lane left and you've solved your problem.

    Go back and read post #4, I explain what happened there.

    You guys are either taking this far too seriously, or are all secret truck drivers

    You do a good job of making the truckie look like a dick but I wouldn't convict him on it.

    I would like to see the vid.

    Could you have easily picked another route through the traffic? Is the truckie really a cunt? Could you have provoked him?

    5ive, I'm the admin on the Neville Bros Facebook page, I've gone to the effort of joining here to clear up a couple of issues. Firstly I am a driver for NB and I am the sole admin for the NB FB page and I DO NOT REPORT ANY COMPLAINTS TO THE MANAGMENT OF NEVILLE BROS that appear on MY FACEBOOK PAGE..... therefore the foul language along with the link to this page that has appeared on my page tonight is a complete waste of time from your friends or fellow riding associates. The management of NB has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Facebook page, they know I run it, but that is where it STOPS. Secondly I am very strict and run a clean page with no abusive comments or posts allowed, and I will NOT put up with anyone who tries it on with me as one of your friends have already found out tonight, I will not tolerate any individual posting words like what was posted tonight, it was 4 letters beginning in C and ending in T I'll let you work that one out, My children follow my page and so do many of my followers and I draw the line at that behavior. Finally I will not comment on the driver nor will I comment on his actions as that is for you to follow up with the Neville Bros Management, you have the phone number. If you see fit to make a complaint then please do so through the correct channels, public condemnation is not a fair way to treat any human. Once again please keep this sort of thing off my Facebook page. Cheers

    Double standard really. Its fine for your driver to flip the bird at someone in public because that is not offensive.
    Im not a fan of the C word or your drivers actions.

    The fact they had to make this post shows there are obviously repeat failures in their driver's abilities to drive safely.
    Actually this was posted after only 2 complaints put on my page since I started it 3 years ago, if you had bothered to ask instead of assuming our drivers are all bad drivers, then you might have been told by me that I've had to put up with 1 complaint stalker that harassed my page repetitively till I removed every derogatory post and blocked that person for good, and you know something else the complaint wasn't even driving related. My post you shared was clear in telling everybody whatever the comment or complaint to put it through the right channels. So my knowledgeable friend unless you are me the admin of that page you shared my post from or claim to have some super powers that allow you to access to what goes on in my head, I might suggest you ask if you want to know something about me and my Facebook page. Cheers

    I'm sorry you feel that way, however I have not visited Facebook recently, nor encouraged anyone else to.

    I have no control over what anyone else says, or does on the Internet.

    Your drivers, who are driving your trucks on public roads however, are fair game if they bring attention to themselves through inconsiderate, or reckless driving, as well as inappropriate gestures towards the general public.

    It's not illegal to take videos or photos in public places, nor to share them on the Internet.

    There may even be some unhappy drivers in other vehicles that were caught up in the antics. Maybe even some dash cam...

    If you have a problem with this, the clearest option would be to prevent it from happening in the first place. Most companies have policies in place to deal with this type of thing. It's just a part of being in the 21st century.

    Feel free to ask the driver to post here, or share his side of the story. I'd love to hear it

    Once again you people are NOT LISTENING that page is MINE NOT THE COMPANYS and THAT DRIVER IS NOT MINE HE IS THE COMPANYS, I run a legitimate friendly page about the trucks we drive and the history of where those trucks have evolved from, so what I'm saying is don't post useless information or leave abuse on MY page when there is a perfectly good phone number on the door of the truck....... Where is the double standards in that, I use the company name to title that page because it would look pretty stupid if I called it BIKERS BLOG and posted nothing but pics of trucks............... AGREED

    Ok I have no issues with what you do with that video or your pics, it is not my concern and the driver is NOT MINE, please hear me when I say that, the facebook page is mine and my PROBLEM is this has filtered through MY FB page and I know you have no control over it and that is why I'm here now asking for whom ever has been posting on MY FB page to cut it out SIMPLE. I've copied one post but its the only one I've saved as I'm going to forward it on to facebook as a complaint myself, I have kids following and reading this page and this sort of thing is unacceptable, Read it for yourself ''Jason Ulyatt Apparently one of your guys drives like a cunt.'' Ifhttp://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/.../181498-Why-are-some-truck...

    Why are some truck drivers so angry? A little road rage this morning...
    I've had a few cars try and block me on the on-ramps, and Bogan Westies on the North Western Motorway, but never a truck, and never once on the Southern Motorway. As I approached, everything seemed fine, and the truck was in the middle of the lane. http://i63.tinypic.com/15yexbm.jpg Then as I passed...

    If you know this person then you now have the evidence of what my issue is all about. AGREED

    If the driver in the pix habitually drives like a cunt and actually runs someone down you will be asked (by your company and the police) why you didn't alert your company when you were first made aware of his cunt like driving.




    Isn't social media fun.

    To be fair your FB page is setup to look like a company page so you will get this from time to time.

    I have found most truck drivers good when filtering, they to give you room.
