Apparantly 1/4 of them drive around empty all the time, and as trailers get bigger there is less and less used cargo space so whats the point of even more carrying capacity?

No idea why the video has been moved. It was on the Radio 1 Newsbeat area of YouTube, so no idea why it's down

Yep like today, was comming off a major island on a mojor A road (so very busy) he saw me indicating, and decided he was going to pull out infront of my anyway! Because he can! So slammed on the brakes, and he was in front of me for the next few miles, just touching nearly 60 in the 50 limit, and when it come to the 30 limit, i slowed, he just carried on at full speed!
Hate lorry drivers with a passion. Its got me into trouble before with friends with that statement but i have never met one yet that has let someone go or not cut someone up!

So if your car was limited to 70 mph and you were going on a 6 hour trip up the M1 you would sit behind the car in front doing 67mph? It's sooo frustrating knowing you've got a little more power...
I think its a good thing if they are just used for trunking and maybe just used at night. In theory it should half the amount of hgv's on the roads.

wonder if it'll force smaller firms out of business if the larger ones end up buying aload of these and do mega bulk loads?
oh, and just wait til one of these goes down some tiny lane after folowing his tom tom!
That'll be fun trying to reverse that out (unless it gets jammed like that foreign truck driver did a couple of months ago) lol
