    Serious worried

    right then im worried about the the hgv drivers who are drunk in charge of a 38 ton lorry.this might get me banned but. the D&D gets max expousure,i work in spalding, in distribution and the amount of eastern european drivers coming in to pick up loads smelling of drink is unreal,for fecks sake i had one today who coudnt tell me where his depot was.when i found out where he was going. i loaded him,then i went to the cab to give him the paper work he was sat there drinking feckin VODKA.ffs is this SAFE on our roads?who do i tell?the police?the minstrey of transport?the bbc?itv?this has got to stop before somebody else gets killed.the papers around here are full of it.just do a search of spalding and you will find it. i know looking in my rear view mirrow and see one of their lorrys i will pull over and let them past,i could name and shame the compines but all these drivers work for agencies so the compinrs dont get involved.
    PLEASE help i dont know where to do

    Definately let the cops know! Fuck the drivers they deserve to get bummed by bubba for putting so many innocent lives at risk.

    I had a family member killed last summer by a drunk driver so I wouldnt think twice about getting the cops in on something like that.

    As well as the Plod, I'm sure you could anon tipoff the Dept of Transport or someone like that about what is going on. As a biker I'm always really nervous around HGV's, as I know a few people who have been injured or killed by run-ins with trucks.

    The filth did a stop check recently on the road to a local brewery and got loads of their drivers on dd charges.
    I know someone who works as a drivers m8 on a beer wagon and says the drivers are generally over the limit by the time they get back to the depot. Half at one pub, half at another etc soon mounts up in the course of a day.

    A quiet word in your local sty should raise awareness of it m8 and rightly so, good on ya.

    report them all, doesn't matter who they are just give off the times they'll be on the road and the reg plate number.

    there's no excuse for them to remain on the road.
    I'm new to this :huh:

    Make a video diary of all the dodgy going ons on a day to day basis. Showing the tape to the police will definately make them sit up and take notice.

    as urbsy said go down your local station and report it, then they should keep an eye on things and do random checks as they pull out of the depot.

    This isn't on your O licence is it mate? Whoever the cabs are owned or rented by (whosever name is on the O licenece) can also get in trouble. If its yours I would seek to solve this problem without involving the old bill.
    All sweeping statements are wrong.
