waddy13 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 These wannabe F1 drivers are a menace, we have the same problem around Chapeltown/High Green. They are working on the Streets Ahead contract and seem to have no regard for speed limits or for the weight limit on Burncross Road. They use Burncross Road even when they are not working on or adjacent to it. It used to be the case that transport manager of the company should check their tacograph record on a regular basis thus highlighting speeding and other infringments. Either this is no longer done or the manager/drivers don`t care about the law:rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow down, it is better to arrive late than dead on time - or to kill someone else in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they hail from Rotherham one of these days there is going to be a bad accident with these speeds they travel at. I personally think that the government agencies should carry out far more spot roadside checks on LGVs etc in general has any one noticed that in recent times on radio traffic reports daily reports of broken down lorries,accidents with lorries every day of the week. Just my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me dvsa are pulling plenty of wagons in for checks every day but for every one that gets checked plenty go unchecked ,it's luck of the draw if you get pulled or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should contact the company. In my experience they do want to be told. It`s not exactly in their interest for their drivers to be in a smash is it, plus it`s bad publicity (their vehicles being driven dangerously) for them.
