Sorry, but seeing as Lorry Drivers are SUPPOSED to be Professional, I disagree with this statement after two very recent incidents with them when pulling out WITHOUT checking their route was clear first and no choice other than to Brake extremely hard to avoid any collision taking place through nothing short of TOTAL Ignorance by their drivers.

You cannot make such a statement all lorry drivers are not the same .I spent several years driving up to 40tons and have rospa medal and bars for safe driving.I am retired now and glad I am as what the government were doing was to get folks from other shores trained up to be Truckers , that you and I paid for maybe they still are,they couldnt read maps or signs and didnt care either.Most of the bad driving I saw was from foriegn truckers.
There are good and bad drivers in cars lorries m/cycles .I am sure you will agree

i drive buses, the car drivers pull out in front, tailgate, park on stops. I know exactly what you mean, there are several bus companies, mainly larger ones that are bringing drivers mainly from poland over, they dont care. They give the proper bus drivers a bad name, like a mate says you get bus drivers and people with bus licences that attend steering wheels.
