I saw 3 very near misses when the impatient fekkers had to pass HGVs causing them to slam on their brakes as well as the poor sods in the oncoming cars who would have shit themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted October 28, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 28, 2017 Trouble is those impatient fuckers get people hurt. Not that road but the same thing caused a driver in our village to crash, he had to swerve violently in a flour tanker. Which if you didn't know acts the same as a liquid in bulk but the tanks aren't baffled. Once the movement goes too far your a passenger. The truck ended up on its side collecting a couple of cars into the bargain. The person causing it drove off into the never never after saving himself 2 minutes. Personally I think cars should be limited like trucks, 80mph. And that's it. Unless your on a track. Its what they do in Japan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
