There's a complete turnaround. Maybe its because there's not as many on the roads now.

People like me? What, holders of C+E licences? Or, ex-drivers? Or, human beings? What particular category are you putting me in for the purposes of your self-delusion?

Yes I did, and no I didn't.

It has always been the case in all the years I've been responding to claims that HGV drivers have the lowest accident rate.

That's all you are, a holder.. Or, ex-drivers?

3 years hardly qualifies you.

Having done something for three years without doubt qulifies one to be an "ex" of whatever it was. But you continue with your self-delusion if you want. I don't give a f*ck.

You're not very bright, are you?

Not when employers want 2 years experience.

Considerably brighter than you.

What a great retort. Only someone with a IQ of 180+ could come up with that.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Harry Bloomfield saying something like:

The grandiose claims for d/c brakes were certainly a lot of c*ck. I've twice had dual-circuit brakes fail on me and the brakes went totally awol. No amount of pumping did any good. The second circuit simply didn't bloody work.

Me too. Rear brakes failed on my (auto) Camaro. Came to a set of traffic lights in the wet. Car slowed, the fronts locked up and just carried on pushing through the lights.
