Complaints made about me so far this year.......
I hit a pheasant on the M4, knocked my top mirror off and a following motorist phoned up to complain that I hadn't secured my load!
I was blocking a driveway in a private road, it was my driveway and I was at home on my break!
I was taking up too much of the road when I was turning out of a junction, obviously didn't see all the parked vehicles I was trying to avoid!
I was only doing 40mph up hill fully loaded in a 50mph zone!
I was doing at least 70mph in a residential area!
I didn't pull out onto a blocked roundabout!
Got to love our fellow car drivers!!!

Sorry I didn't mean to press long then, but unfortunately these are all the things you have to put up with as a hgv driver, as well as clogging up the motorways at bank Holidays, getting in the way of other motorist on day out but still expect supermarket shelves to be full of what they want on following day, they think it's all done by magic👍

I upset the bin men today. Parked in front of them outside the house I was delivering to. They had to go around me. The tutting and calling me a nob was priceless 😎

Honestly makes me laugh, it’s a daily occurrence for us truckers to be dealing with this sort of BS! I had a women approach my truck the other day while on break to complain that when I turned left off the roundabout the wheels of my truck were over the white line and she was force to sit behind me while she was going around the roundabout. I jumped out of my truck and told her to look at it, I said look at the length and width of it. If I didn’t go slightly into the other Lane while turning left off the roundabout I would have taken out the railings and traffic lights on the corner. I had that conversation that we have all had and had to explain the obvious that I am a lot bigger that a car and as a result of this I obviously take up more of the road. The women soon shut up and back tracked back to her car. 😂😂

Im not sure how the general public are going to deal with the new Highway code advice changes, i was passing parked cars in a busy high street and a car suddenly pulled out of a side turning blocking my path, she begrudgingly reversed, i shouted out the window, what were you thinking, she said the obstruction was on your side, you should have given way, WHAT i thought where did you pass your test Disney Land

Thing is car drivers forget the highway code as soon as that examiner says "you passed" as we all did but once you're driving a truck it's a different game my teacher says he rips out that shitty car driver from you're soul and inserts a truck driver 😂. If every car cunt (that's not ALL car drivers) could sit the cab with a truck driver for just a couple of days it would open their eyes to what truck drivers deal with and how much more dangerous it is up there in the cab.

hi, dead true word for word, I think the problem is, over the last 20 years, the general public think that you're driving a lorry because that's all you are capable of doing.

They got too much time on their hands. Stick a mobile number on the back of your wagon saying "hows my driving?" And make sure the number you put on there is a premium rate s**line number 😂

You see these prat’s everyday, not got a clue how much room a large vehicle needs to turn at junctions/roundabouts.
Or our stopping distances when they pull in front of you to get to a slip road.

Hi, I think car drivers have gone worse, especially German cars, must be in owners manual that your car may explode if you indicate what you're about to do.

99% of car drivers on the road today would fail a driving test if they had to take one again.
When you pass any driving test be it car or HGV, that’s the point when you really start to learn. Nobody at the side of you to help with mistakes.
The majority of drivers pick up bad habits and then think it’s normal to drive that way.
50% of my working day is keeping an eye out for them then avoiding them.
Keep safe and keep watching for them.

It might be abit off from a complaint but iv just sat in the transport office while a driver came in to say he wasn't taking the wagon out because its got an air leak, what did the transport manager say to that you ask, "just take it out, what does it need air for anyway?" You can't even write it
