Saved the Omega from certain death today Was giving a foreign lorry driver plenty of room on the roundabout then he decided to cut me up forcing me into the curb If i had carried on i doubt he would of even noticed half the car embedded in the side of his trailer
Surely you saw him indicate his intentions way back and made a prudent decision based on your experience to keep well out the way
To be a little tiny bit fair, in a lhd artic turning right offside mirrors (assuming they're a, clean and b, being looked at) give a nice view of the side of the trailer. Even the wide angle is a compromise, and if the drivers a short arse his view through the side window may be way over your roof.
Chances are he saw you though - just didn't give a monkeys. Had you hampered him at an earlier roundabout or been hanging off his quarter for a while so he couldn't approach in the right lane, 'cos we all hate that.
Sadly it's not just left hookers that have half-wit overseas drivers. Some agencies are flooding the market with Romanian tractor drivers and such like and some companies, desperate to deliver Christmas, choose not to ask too many questions. It seems to go in waves. 10 years ago it was Polish imports being pumped into companies until the insurers and accountants called foul on the damage bills.
