Aggressive driving by Waste Lorry

[Ian Cooper]

Well the trolling has now started on you tube. On the same day that I get an email from White Hare Aggregates saying that vehicle doesn't belong to them, I get negative comments from two individuals who have only just registered on youtube. What a surprise!

Well then, in my book, that gives you the responsibility to report it to anyone you can. Clearly they enjoy bad publicity and potential police interest.

He absolutely should not have been attempting an overtake when you were so close to the vehicle in front, especially in such a huge vehicle. Nor should he have beeped you.

Personally I wouldn't have overtaken him again, because he had proved himself an aggressive driver. Best to let him go and stay out of bother. Easy to say sat here on the sofa though.

Exactly.
there wasn't any space for him to pull into once he had passed you.
Instead all he was doing was trying to force you to slow down and make sufficient room for him to push in.
big truck or not the bloke a ****.

Holding a HGV or PCV license is a privilege and along with it requires a certain level of *additional* road awareness that just a regular driving license due to the potential danger of driving such a large vehicle.

Report him to the police and or whoever.

Just recently I had livelifetothefull0 "comment" on one of my videos from last August, needless to say deleted and blocked.

If that lorry was bullying me, I'd seriously consider letting him "win" and overtake, then follow at a safe distance. You'd only get slowed down slightly and it'd be much safer. I know he should not be driving aggressively, however as he was I'd make sure that I'd done what I could to get home safely.
I've never reported anyone so don't know if it'd be worth-while, I hope that it is.

Bearing in mind the length of the lorry and the fact I could see the road works ahead, I think that pulling over to the left to let him start to overtake me, would have put me in a lot more danger.
