OK...just to clear the air. 
I didn't intend to insult anybody directly, in fact, before I even posted it crossed my mind who, if anyone, I had had dealings with before that may be a HGV driver, and could possibly insult. The only person that came to mind was shaggy, but then the thought was chucked out of the nearside window @ 56 for being nonsensical. This is assuming of course that james unloaded a clip from his infractocannon into my ***, which to be honest, I don't know or care if he did. I have no beef with him at all, always been ok with me.
Anyway.....anyone offended by comments I made, then I genuinely apologise, but, please understand I only really have one way of posting. Tongue in cheek 'insults' ; purely meant for a laugh, and hopefully, so blatantly fcukin obviously TIC, that they will either be laughed at, or will fly straight past, over the head, in a Top Gun style flyby.
So perhaps this wasn't the topic for generalisations...no problem, my mistake.
If you still feel the need to infractoban, be my guest, but I have said my bit, and apologised for gobbing off.

On the accident today!
This is truely grim and not something you would really want to think about. Clearly looks as the HGV driver was not at fault. I'm really struggling to see how that accident could have happened. The HGV was not stationary and it was at 2am in the morning. If the HGV was travelling at 20mph and the recovery was travelling at 80mph then it may have cause the sort of damage that happened, also looked like the transit on the back of the recovery was pretty much intact, which would indicate a straight on rear end and then a dead stop.
Wolud still have to say though that although not a HGV driver, a lorry driver of some sorts was still involved

on the way down to Tuscany for easter we stopped at a layby for a coffee and a break. We pulled up in front of a lorry with Romainian plates. The loudness of the music coming from the cab would have put the ministry of sound to shame. After 15 mins the driver got out of the truck and walked up to me to have a chat.
He was so high he couldnt stand up straight and couldnt get a full sentance out without losing track of what he was saying. I asked him how long it was since he had had a sleep, ah I reckon over 2 days he giggled. I said he should go have a sleep, no chance too high on the little white pills he replied. I walked away in disgust and terror that this guy was driving something weighing 30+ tonnes in his state...
I would have rang the cops only it was Italy and they probably wouldnt give a damn. Its frightening to think how many of these ****** are on the roads.

What is it with these idiots? Every major pile up I get delayed in, or see, 9/10 times one of these is to blame.
Classic example on the M6 south at Cannock this afternoon, total carnage, went past the ongoing aftermath on the opposite carriageway...what was at the front of the smash?...an artic, the cab was goodnight vienna, ripped apart by the smash. Behind it, a 7.5T flatbed, sideways and smashed into the central reservation. Behind that...another artic..jack knifed.
The powers that be should do something about these ******, is it really nesseccary to drive 12ft from the vehecle in front?
Then people wonder why there are drivers hogging the middle lane? Probably feared to death to have 40 tons of dozy truck driver sat on thier ****
