Arrrrgh!!!! Horsebox Road Rage

[Flame_]

I hate - Large roundabouts. As you creep to a gentle crawl on the approach ten bl**dy golfs dive in front of you from the fast lane and suddenly your stopping distance is none-existant.

Then when you get to the line you wait hours for a horsebox size gap (ie nothing else on the roundabout or approaching within sight at all), one finally appears so you start to pull out and a t**t, usually in a BMW, flies up to and around the roundabout in the time it takes lorry to get up to 5mph and beaps their horn at you for daring to make them touch their brake.

I also hate - people who pull out from side roads straight in front of my horsebox because even though they know there isn't room without making me brake they can see the queue of cars behind me and they don't want to join it.

Sorry, moan, moan, moan....

Anyone want to add any.

Oh yes, just the same when pulling a trailer. A good one was someone on a roundabout on my inside cutting across to take the exit on my left, that was a close one!

No one seems to respect the fact that you need a good gap infront of the vehicle for slowing down gradually....

... they all seem to feel the need to fill that said gap asap!!!

I find the best thing to do is just to keep driving into them - law of size and all!

 

[kanter]

Yup agree - keep driving - works for me every time - man in flashy BMW spots demented looking small woman in tatty old lorry and keeps out of way!

I hate the ones who when there are parked cars on their side of the road and I am travelling down hill, speed up as they think they can get past before I get there, but they can't

recently some idiot tried to undertake me on a large roundabout, however she then forgot to check her mirror when she turned off, despite the fact i was indicating right and slammed straight into my drivers door, nearly wrote her car off she was going so fast!

She reckoned it was my fault just for being there.

We had a car recently so impatient to get past us and others on a roundabout that it went anti-clockwise and cut right across our exit. The driver did it so quickly you couldn't believe what you were seeing.

 

[Thistle]

I've had that a number of times too, and I don't hang about, just like to go round roundabouts with the horses still standing.

I'm afraid I recognise all those mad driving antics, I see them all the time. Trouble is, I don't drive a horsebox and only tow a trailer a few times a year. These are just the impatient aggressive loonies who seem to think they should have a perfectly clear road on every journey they make, and b*ll*cks to everyone else.

Let me remind you that horsebox wheel nuts and cars don't mix. The car loses every time
