It doesn't work if you click the link (I suspect a bit of referrer-based blocking is at work here), but once the URL is in your browser address bar you can just click Go and it should then load OK.

I personally thin trucks cause a lot of carnage out there, and cannont understand why anyone driving such a big dangerous vehicle is allowed to use a CB radio!

Are they really legal to use?

[quote="Julesm"]I personally thin trucks cause a lot of carnage out there, [quote]
Jules - i'm not a trucker - the biggest i drive was referred to as a mini by my son in law - HGV driver - but how much of the carnage is caused by trucks reacting to the mistakes of smaller vehicles ????

EG - car pulls into L1 on motorway, to get off at exit - slows right down ---problem is he hasent given the truck sufficient space to stop and L2 is full - till trucks are fitted with VTOL or car drivers start thinking ---where does the truck go ??

Or if we must have them - how about some contribution to the UK economy . Better still - bring over the trailers and give our drivers in british units the work of taking them to uk destinations.
