  1. #Lorry gets stuck in hole it was sent to fix in #Somerset | Somerset | The Guardian

    They say that the British have a particular sense of irony.

  2. Once again parts of #OrwellBridge in #Ipswich #Suffolk closed due to rush hour #collision (#car vs #lorry) with one #fatality and one #arrest

    if its not possible to quickly reduce #CarDependency (and realistically it is not), nor build the #NorthernBypass - then there's a real need to further encourage #FlexibleWorking and more people to move away from 9-5 working hours - all these crashes seem to happen around rush hour, whereas same #A14 highway is a lot quieter in afternoons and evenings (there's still lorries, but they are more spread out and not so many bottlenecks at the junctions)

  7. Multiple bottles of #prosecco yeeted into live lanes of #M4 #motorway and a container knocked from a #lorry following a #collision - one lorry #driver #arrested on suspicion of using a #mobilePhone at the wheel. There were only minor injuries, but the clean up will take a good few hours!

  12. Good work by #lorry driver - keeping occupants of small car that has broken down on "smart" #motorway safe and calling nines so #Police and #NationalHighways are aware - it took 5 mins on 999 call, and 13 further minutes for National Highways to arrive on scene, and #drivers are barely noticing stationary lorry (further ahead the matrix sign is showing "national speed limit", which suggests there has already been a restriction on previous signs so drivers are likely trying to accelerate to get back to 70mph (112 km/h)

    These smart #motorways are not safe (thankfully there are no further ones being built)

  13. @tompearce49 Chapeau!There are some great hgv drivers out there. I think the #log #lorry drivers are the best - they get a lot of flack, but the best of them can do as you describe, but in the forest, on narrow, steep, tight geometry, very few passing places, unmade up roads, often riddled with potholes. No roadsigns and often only poor mapping. Tramping (overnighting in the cab) is often required. It's amazing our #timber gets to the mills sometimes!

  14. The caption for this picture, which I glommed from Tumblr reads, "They said it would arrive in discreet packaging". No one, AT ALL, even took the time to read the red sign above the pumps. #truck #lorry #missle #rocket #weirdcarmastodon

  15. Some things don't make sense here. If it was the chaps "childhood dream" to drive a #lorry he's been a #vehicle enthusiast since his youth and is now 39, he's been #driving long enough to know its illegal to be under the influence of #drugs behind the wheel (2015 England & Wales, 2019 Scotland)
    - and its extremely unusual for #cannabis to be legally prescribed for #ADHD / #Anxiety - is his defence lawyer blatantly lying in #Court (is that not illegal in itself?)

  16. "irregular cargo" - how even did anyone think that was a good idea, and acceptable on the public roads? If the driver has the correct licence to drive the #lorry, then they could just as easily have hired a more suitable vehicle to transport the broken down #van

  17. There's nothing you can do about this, I am just pointing it out. Instead of a tip maybe just don't blame them for the fact that Facebook never removes anything bad, or any obvious scammers. I am sure they want to remove them, but those managers I mentioned won't give them any agency at all to do the right things.

  18. CW: M25 collision, Court Case + sentence

    An #Ipswich #lorry driver got 3 years jail + 3 years #driving
    ban after lack of attention led to multi vehicle #collision with fatalities and serious injuries (the relatively short sentence is due to an early guilty plea).

    He was not on drugs/drink or using a mobile phone, but if driving to South Mimms should have been aware that traffic on #M25 is often slow around that area due to #congestion and reduced his speed..#RoadSafety

  19. Jour 24 du défi #1jour1kif : chaque jour, publier quelque chose que l'on aime ❤️

    Les camions.

    Pour plusieurs raisons : d'abord, j'aime conduire. Alors je n'ai malheureusement pas de permis C, mais c'est une sorte de fantasme que de conduire un de ces monstres de la route, je le fais déjà en simulateur même si ce n'est pas pareil...

    La route, les paysages qui défilent, c'est pour moi le symbole de la liberté. Partir des mois (voire plus) sur un road trip, c'est là aussi un rêve que mes obligations de la vie courante ne m'ont pas encore permis de matérialiser (ou bien je n'ai pas encore eu le courage de me lancer).

    Petit, j'aurais voulu être routier. Bien sûr, je vois aujourd'hui comment ce métier était idéalisé avec mes yeux d'enfant, mais le sentiment demeure.

    Je sais, ce n'est pas très écolo comme moyen de locomotion... mais ça reste un kif et je suis honnête !

    Pouet pouet !

  20. Random thought - a modern #van or #lorry used for transporting items from place to place with the telemetry and cameras commonplace today is both a pantechnicon and a panopticon 😁

  21. Approximately 40% of #truck #drivers have left their posts to join the installation of the East Coast Rail Link (#ECRL) project

    This raised concerns over a shortage of drivers in the #KlangValley and its adverse impact on local #construction projects

    The key reason for the migration was that working for ECRL gives better pay, had fixed hours and there's less hassle with dealing with enforcement agencies

  24. It’s taken almost 27 years for my husband and I to both remark to each other that the word #lorry is utterly silly. As is typical for us, we said it simultaneously to each other.

  25. Swedish truck manufacturer Scania is far from the only company developing autonomous vehicles, but it has the distinction of being the first in Europe to pilot them while delivering commercial goods.

    In the pilot project, the self-driving truck is covering a stretch of some 300 km between Södertälje and Jönköping in the south of Sweden, delivering fast-food goods.
