Or maybe it's just that most applicants are tick as pigshit? I'm not saying they are, but maybe, eh?

Judging by the standard of non-HGV drivers I came across in my HGV driving career, I'd say that there were far more none HGV dribbling inbred fuckwits than HGV driving ones. Visit any food factory and the number of non-HGV driving dribbling fuckwits outnumbered the HGV ones 100:1. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

If you didn't see it, the gist was why do the vast majority of HGV drivers never use full beam at night, thus making it much harder for the cars/bikes stuck behind them to overtake as they can't see when there's a straight bit of road ahead? I'd guess that being professional drivers they know they're making it harder for people, so is it just that they like keeping everyone behind them, or are they just too lazy to flick between full & dip? It is a serious question btw. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
