Eddie Stobart Drivers.. better than the average driver

E-mail sent to say thanks.
Had a good day in the saddle yesterday, lots of good courteous drivers about!. Must be the good weather!

When I was cycling through Spain a number of years ago, the lorries overtaking me gave me so much room they would have been closer to a cyclist coming the othe way.

Well done on the email: that helps the cyclist/driver relationship.

Never had a problem with HGV drivers, I only wish other drivers would drive at the same high standards.

Maybe it was the flourecent jacket with the word POLICE I have found something like 8/10 drivers give room but your vid shows how it should be done.

Just looked at your other vids..The Romainian video looks frightfully close

I ride a major road to and from work, and have found that HGVs show the most consideration. Coaches & busses seem to like playing the how close to the handlebars game. In fact it was because of busses and the narrowness & twists (and potholes) that I stopped using the back road.

Never quite sure whether you should thank drivers for doing what they should do anyway by law/under the h-way code, but I guess an acknowledgement of their patience is a nice gesture.

He might of had a camera crew in the cab making another episode of "Trucks and trailers". A bike shped dent in the front wouldnt look good on the telly.

Maybe we ought to get them training foreign drivers? as IMO foreign wagons are some of the worst drivers out there.

I always happened across a farmer out with a delivery of hay during my college commute each week - always gave each other the thumbs up when crossing each others path.
Never had a problem with HGV's

Must admit always found HGV drivers to be exemplary

 

[GrasB]

For the most part articulated HGV drivers are some of the best about. The problem is when they get close it's terrifying. One thing always annoys me me is how an HGV will pass & give me loads of room then the following cars will squeeze past barely moving from their normal road position.

Perhaps I just found a bad egg then,when I saw that driver using a mobile phone,while driving his lorry down the Lea Green Road a year or two ago.

I saw it,im not lying and I was not impressed at the time.

It just means,I don't think I would trust any lorry.

That is a good pass though.

I think the Eddie Stobard senior management are very public appearence aware and take a very dim view of anything that detracts from their reputation. Having said that when going up to Scotland recently on an overnight coach a Stobard driver obviosly didn't like something the coach driver did going by the way he sat on his horn and gave the coach driver a wa**er sign.

In my opinion the coach drivers in Scotland* are amongst the worst of the worst!
*I'm not saying they are Scottish by the way!
