I drive a 30 tonne LGV, two weeks ago a BMW pulled out of a junction turning right without stopping, he did this when i was less than 50 feet from the junction and in very wet conditions, although my truck has ABS the back wheels locked and slid the back end into on coming traffic,i hit the Bmw and took out three other cars, it put four people in hospital two with serious head and neck injuries. Luckily several witnesses came forward in my defence, the Bmw driver First said he didn't see me and then accused me of driving too fast, what he failed too realise is that my Tachograph would prove that i wasn't, it seems that people are far to impatient and have no respect for Large vehicles anymore!
