coming home from a night shift along the A12 near colchester. Not much traffic about and I'm pretty tired so the cruise control is set on 55. Going down the hill near the golf course, I notice a truck coming up fast behind me. Pulls out to overtake with about 5 feet to spare. I give him the obligatory finger as he goes past. Now the road goes uphill so gravity slows him down. I haven't changed speed but it might look like I sped up (to a moron). He starts honking his horn which doesn't impress me in the least, it's not even a big scarey air horn, just a normal horn but louder. Then he pulls in about 3 mm from my back bumper and puts his full beams on, but he was so close that it just lit the road up in front of me. I put my fog lights on just in case it got foggy all of a sudden. Now were going downhill again, and with the help of gravity he pulls out and overtakes. Needless to say I didn't flash him in, for fear of more horn honking or bright light intimidation. He nearly took my front bumper off so I thought I'd better take a quick photo of his number plate. It was badly over exposed and useless, but I soon caught him up when the road levelled out so I stuck it in my phone quickly.
So, watch out for this reckless, deliberately aggressive, and quite frankly terrible lorry driver. Don't upset him or you'll get honked at.
And remember, lorry drivers own the roads, so don't get in their way or drive sensibly - they will punish you !
Awful driving through central London. Speeding through semi-pedestrianised areas, racing with other liveried drivers, aggressive behaviour to other road users.
This driver left services at Brampton Hut A1just after 7am Friday 2nd October 2015 behind a Pentalver container. Lights at slip road westbound were green, Pentalver cleared junction and caused no problems but EU15TBV just looked staright at approaching traffic and pulled out, causing all traffic to stop so he could pull out, no regard for other road users at all, pure ignorance.
Travelling behind me on the main road and then impatiently swerved around me and the lorry in front, using junction to a side road. In doing so he nearly hits a group of school girls that are crossing the side road! He then just avoids hitting the cab of the lorry in front of me as he rejoins the main road!
