Don't like big lorries? Don't buy so much useless consumer tat, and there won't be so many on the roads.
Commie!
Next you’ll be taking guns away from my mentally deranged son!

We call them artics where I come from.
We had one just this week that was trying to squeeze down our narrow Victorian street and couldn't make the corner. I asked him where he was going and he had no need to have left the main road at all. Obviously following a sat nav if some kind set for the shortest route. Me and another guy had to help him reverse back out. Quite amusing really. Luckily he didn't scrape anyone's motor.
The 7.5 ton thing was removing the right for anyone to drive one who didn't pass their test before January 97.
Your quite right, I remember my first run between Lochgilphead and Oban on a 7.5 flat and it wasn't pretty. That was back in the day when they flung anyone a set of keys and told to get in with it.I've got 7.5 ton on my licence, but have always refused to drive a vehicle of that size, some years ago a gaffer got the hump with me when I said no unless he arranged some extra training on it. In the past I've done a lot of mileage on up to 3.5 ton without problems.

I blame the lack of investment in freight by rail and sea over the last 60 years.Don't like big lorries? Don't buy so much useless consumer tat, and there won't be so many on the roads.
