Those 2% all drive vans for Sainsburys home delivery service.

There are probably fewer female lorry drivers than you'd think. Those ladies you've seen in the cabs are, in all probability, the male lorry driver's latest victim. Where they breathing? I thought not.

Just 2% of all lorry driver apparently: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4665742.stm

It always is - doing her make-up no doubt. Female lorry drivers are always so attractive haven't you noticed?

Just noticed that there's no number plate on that truck...

One of yours then?...

[wendigo100]

Ooooh, get you. Were you a trainspotter in your younger years?

As I understand it SP is a lorry driver himself.

Crushes anything that gets in his way though.

Thats an English wagon anyway. Or a foreign wagon breaking cabotage rules. I mean why would a foreigner want a RHD vehicle unless they are over here a lot.

He/she could be Polish but live here.

Good job you're not a trucker or they'd be stealing your job...

The transport company.

I seriously doubt it.

Games to play with your satnav.

1. Input route.
View route.
Run demo rout at 120%.
Drive to catch up arrow.

2. Select language Turkish.
Turn off screen.
Try to follow instructions.

you can rest assured had a British driver made such an error on the continent then would have been a list of fees to be paid immediately before the driver can resume the journey

Milan.

Oi!

I'm not polish.

Haha, how did you know I was talking about you?

[Ardesco]

Seriously, why blame satnav??? Surely this is a case of the driver not knowing the size of his vehicle and trying to squeeze through a gap that would not accomodate him.

Exactly the same thing could have happened if he was using a road map.
