Have to say I wouldn't and couldn't do the job....driving is getting way too stressful nowadays so doing it for a living?

I always thought a lorry driver would be a good job if you can handle the hours and don't miond being away for a few nights at a time?

Well it's an easy job innit. Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear.

You've obviously got a girl's lorry, as mine has a 56 speed box with overdrive on the top 24 my friend ;)

Why Do You Type With Every Word Capitalised. Just Asking Lyke.

Psssst, if you type all of your post IN CAPS the board automatically changes it to lower case except for the first letter of every word.

My guess is that Bars doesn't know how to turn his Caps Lock off

Long time no post Bars. How are you?


I've Been Better To Be Honest. I Lost My Job Because I Was Caught Having A Crafty Hand Shandy Into A Pret Crayfish Salad Roll At Lunchtime Last Month. Mind You If You Keep The Wrapper On And Moisten The Bread It Makes For A Satisfying Chuck. And You Can Eat The Evidence After. Unfortunately I Chose To Do It In The Car Park And Was Caught On CCTV

the lorry driver who repeatedly rammed me in the inside lane just north of Birmingham the other day because I was only doing 70mph was clearly enjoying himself
I had some twat try and do that to me in the variable speed limit part of the M3. I was doing 50 which was the limit and he first got right on my bumper, then he slowed down and had run ups at me. He didn't actually touch me at any point, but it's still not good looking in your mirror and only seeing a lorry's engine grill.
The amout of snarl ups I see caused by a lorry overtaking another lorry but only going 1mph quicker is ridiculous.

You do realise that I was just lifting Clarksons quote, don't you?

It hadn't escaped me, and I'm sure you are aware that a 56 speed box with overdrive on the top 24 is a figment of my technologically challenged noggin :shrug:

The Hours Are Shit, The Pay Is Crap, Listening To The Same Shit On The Radio Can Make You Suicidal. You Have To Deal With Tossers In BMWs On The Motorways And Raping Prostitutes Is Too Much Like Hard Work Trying To Avoid Capture Nowadays To Be Fun.

Are There Any Perks To The Job?

There is a fatal flaw in your argument;

Motorways have 3 lanes

Lorries cannot go in the fast lane

BMW's only go in the fast lane

Therefore Lorries do NOT have to deal with BMW's on motorways.


As a BMW driver I know this is a FACT:salute:

Possibly a flaw in your argument:

Lorries cannot LEGALLY go in the fast lane :laugh:

because he is a twat.

and if a lorry (or anything) hits me on the road i'd on the dog and bone to the bill and stop right in front of them to get their insurance details.
