glrnet Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 At last, a Police Force targeting HGV drivers. Many of you will know I drive a considerable amount of miles annually and this is one of my pet hates, the number of HGV's I see lane wandering because the driver is texting is quite incredible. The worst incident I witnessed was an HGV with trailer coming towards me at a mini roundabout steering with one hand and phone in the other as he negotiated the roundabout, he was clearly looking down at the phone!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-27196621 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 About time they did this. See it all the time especially delivery drivers in London. (Mr Ocado..! ). Nearly got wiped out by one, looked in my mirror coming up to a set of lights to see the Ocado driver behind me not slowing down and texting, so I quickly changed lanes as he went through the red lights. WOW so close..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I believe they been using that unmarked lorry for couple of years now... Deffinately seen it on tv, traffic cops, couple of years ago, patrolling mainly around Birmingham. Pretty good idea to be honest! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
