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
    Why dont you get it sorted. If you have a front face for the company on facebook one assumes you care about the company image.
    If your saying you dont care about how the drivers conduct themselves and are only interested in how clean some trucks are thats fine perhaps you might ask the boss to contact the motorcyclist involved directly.

    Your facebook page looks like it represents the company.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    Roland man you gotta calm down it's just some words on a screen nigga

    why don't you just use this opportunity to talk to your kids about language and how it evolves over time and how words can mean more or less to different people.

    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

    guess what rolando, I have kids who go in cars to places, and if a truckie (or anyone) is being a cunt, I announce the fact, usually with associated gestures and a "what the fuck" or two.
    this teaches them about a) not being a cunt in public where your behavior affects others and b) expressing your feelings and c) non-verbal communication with others.

    what the fuck kind of weirdo kid gives a fuck about a fb page dedicated to neville brothers trucks??

    Yep. Heaps with truckies in NZ. To me they're worse than people who are obstructive or dangerous through ignorance as they know exactly what they are doing.

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
    Roland like it or not your the face (see what I did there) for your company, one of your company's drivers attempted to use his vehicle in a way that endangered the lives of several others on the road in an attempt to run into one of the most vulnerable of road users namely a motorcyclist.
    Man....take some ownership of this incident and do the right thing by your company.

    Yeah, I was wondering about that.

    I always fold one in when filtering/splitting, leaving the other angled enough to see down the narrow car corridor behind. The pictures here are a little misleading though, the camera is angled up from below chin height. My eyes are higher and looking down into the mirror.

    It creates a wider gap to pass through, as my mirrors are at the same height as most cars when angled up, and I head check when using the mirrors or not anyway.

    In the pictures here, I've had to pull the left one in as well (as pictured with my hand on it), because there is a truck moving into my lane... with both mirrors in, I've just used my head to look around instead. Pretty easy to do when travelling below 30km/ph as I was mostly doing when not trying to overtake the truck.

    Just post the video already so:

    1) We get a full understanding of the situation
    2) See your direct involvement (if any)
    3) Any evidence is then indisputable as to what happened/didn't happen

    fuuck poor guy thought he'd post up a quick video for a few laughs and maybe some funny / informative tales of similar situations and now you're all on here like the fucking police hitting the guy up for 'evidence' so 'We get a full understanding of the situation'

    Haha, and it's not going to happen. I live on a lifestyle property in a rural area, and am mostly off-grid, so don't have a phone line or internet at home.

    Uploading HD videos from work isn't going to happen either, so a few pictures worth a handful of MB, is all that there is.

    In before conspiracy theories about how I manipulated a truck driver to do it...

    Isn't social media fun.
    Yes social media is fun, as I have expressed If the rider of the motorbike wishes to make a complaint to the company or the police that is his decision, I am just a driver that has no authority to intervene in company matters that do not concern me. I suspect the manegment will already be aware of the situation by now but no complaint no action, kind of simple to work out really but clearly your to focused on the word cunt to see the logic 👀

    To be honest if you are the director/manager of a company and are aware of an issue like this, you're a bit of a prick if you don't take action against the driver involved.

    We know our drivers drive like dickheads, but no one has been killed and no one has complained so we won't do anything about it!

    (not saying this is you, as you've clearly described your involvement (or lack there of) in this situation.)

    I absolutely agree with you yes it is the company name but that is why I have made a good effort to put a disclaimer regarding any complaints are to be forwarded to the company management. But in my defence I can't call page anything other than what it is focused on, as I stated in a previous post it would be silly of me to call it the bikers blog and post nothing but big green trucks I would lose the ability to capture the intended audience, I only came on here to ask for people Who have access to this page to please stop posting this material on my Facebook page, I did not come here to engage in the rights and wrong of another person driving nor did I come here to engage in any type of argument, I appreciate your recognition towards truck drivers and all I can say is we should play together because L real enemy is usually a car. I hope you understand where I am coming from. Cheers
