In such weather blue, mottled flesh is not attractive and I'm not risking hyperthermia for random males.

I'm always flashing truckers.

Stop using the middle lane when the vehicle you're trying to overtake is also only doing 56mph and I'll stop!

So let me get this right, its wrong for a truck to hold you up, but its ok for a truck to hold another truck up.

Let me guess, you've never driven a truck on a motorway so your commenting on something you don't understand .

Also if its a problem why don't you just use the outside lane to overtake the 2 trucks, that's a dedicated lane for cars and vans etc,trucks aren't allowed in the outside lane . Lol happy driving

Thinking of seeing your lass flash that sexy bod almost makes me want to go back to work lol

I dont think flashing would actually distract a lorry driver too much.

Normally most youd see would be abit of leg for a few seconds then theyd be gone

I used to get my gfs to flash their tits or give me a bj and slow down whilst overtaking and if they dint see me Id pip lol

Soft tops are best to flash from

I'm inclined to agree. The thought that my family could be totalled in a motorway smash involving a lorry because the driver was distracted by some silly bint flashing her tits infuriates me.

Doesn't the potential to kill multiple people bother you at all??

Doom con gloom crew on today. Really have you never glanced at cars going past.

It's called watching around you. Something I do all the time.

If you were driving along side by side a lorry getting them to look then fine. But flashing is by definition a quick thing.

You look and you think. What did I just see. Far more distracting things out there. Speed cameras for one.

You can't go slower than road allows so motorway that's 55 and as you have to pass its normally 60. You don't see much. I think it's more for the people doing it.

Although I did once drive a junction of the m1 topless in my topless car lol had a few beeps and light flashes.

Well I do over 125000 miles a year in my truck and have been doing the job over 24 yrs and as usual its pick on truckers yet again, over the years like others have said seen it all and have never crashed, been even close to crashing due to people flashing me . But I have had many near misses (been hit by other drivers ) usually by car drivers by the way who are distracted either on the phone, reading newspapers,paperwork,maps even books,writing,steering with their knees,even seen them eating a bowl of cereal the list could go on and on, so before you slag truck drivers off think. I'm sure more than 50% of accidents involving a truck and a car are usually caused by a car driver.

Happy driving and take care .

I was not criticising truckers but the idiots who flash them. Distractions happen but this is a deliberate attempt to distract someone who is driving a huge vehicle travelling at speed on a motorway occupied by other road users (who haven't consented to being a part of your fantasy).

Please don't try to defend the indefensible. My daughter was involved in a motorway multi-vehicle pile up a few years ago which included a lorry (not necessarily at fault) but the car it ploughed into was totalled and the occupant killed.

My daughter, who survived, was shunted and spun across the lanes and was extremely traumatised. Her car was a write off and the whole scene was one of carnage.

Call me a kill-joy but I still can't see the 'thrill' in attempting to deliberately distract a truck driver - even for a few seconds.

I got my HGV licence in the army, so know full well what I'm talking about. When I'm doing 70mph in the middle lane and a feckless moron in a lorry pulls out infront of me with very little warning or regard for my safety or ability to get to the outside lane without endangering myself or others, and can only do the same speed as the vehicle he is attempting to overtake stinks of arrogance to me. I once saw one truck try overtake another for over 4 miles, causing people to brake etc, and guess what? He didn't manage it and had to pull back in behind the truck he was trying to overtake.

Unstoppable force meets immovable object springs to mind.

I missed what you were saying, I thought you mean't they were only using the middle lane because the person infront of them in the inside lane was a lane hog

By law lorries must be speed limited to 56mph, if one truck is doing 55 on the inside lane, what makes another trucker think its safe, or clever, to try to overtake if he only has a 1moh speed advantage? All he's really doing is obstructing the traffic behind him. And its even worse in the rain or fog.

why isnt it safe to overtake? I've read the highway code and I've never seen about you can't overtake unless your going X amount of miles faster than the vehicle your overtaking, think it's another case of "how dare that truck driver hold ME up, I'm an important car driver " We have only so many hours we are allowed to drive and to sit behind a truck thats 1 mph slower for maybe say 60 miles is 1 hour lost, where as once the truck has overtaken the car driver will be free to speed up to what ever speed they like for how long they like . simples

and the idiots who see that gap where you can fit about 5 or more cars between the truck and the vehicle in front and decide to pull into the gap oblivious that its a safe gap for the truck then wonder why trucks run in the back of them.

I understood that lorry drivers in this country can only drive up to 56 mph. Drivers from other countries don't have the same rule, so I am led to believe.

Personally I think if anybody attempts to distract a lorry driver they should be charged with reckless something or other.

An accident only takes a minute but the consequences can be devastating to the driver and the innocent victims.

And when a trucker indicates for 3 seconds and.simply pulls out regardless of whether the vehicle in the middle lane can safely get into the 3rd lane, many of you guys are driving 60ft and 38 tons of vehicle and show little regard for other, smaller road users simply because of a deadline. Your job is an important and difficult one, I will never deny that, but sometimes, some of you show a blatant disregard for the welfare of the smaller guy who has to scrub 20mph in a matter of seconds. You guys have a trailer to help you absorb an impact, what does a mother with a couple of noisey kids have in her 10yr old people.carrier have?

People.that flash you are an even bigger hazard, as its a distraction. And its people like.me.that deal with the aftermath of this stupidity.

your response is 1 out of date,2 sexiest and 3 ignorant,

1 its 44 tonne

2 the women with as you say noisey kids , will have just as much chance as a man with or without noisey kids.

3 I see bad driving every day mainly from car drivers but admittedly sometimes by so called truck drivers, but I dont tar all with the same brush as you seem to do to truck drivers. Myself im a professional truck driver,like many others, I'm curtious when I pull out to overtake,always thank the driver for allowing me to pull out, I'm sorry if I hold anyone up but it will only be for a few minutes at most.

As with most things these days the majority are punished for a minorities actions.

Thats why this country is in the state its in.

and as for 3 seconds of indication off a trucker, I wish the few idiot car drivers out there that see a gap between a truck and the vehicle infront would think before the dive into it often without indicating, as some know we're driving 44 tonne trucks at 56 mph, you might be able to stop quick , but we can't .

Ok, I got the weight wrong. No big deal.

I was using a mother as an example of an every day situation. I was in no way implying that women are inferior drivers, its just a likely scenario.

I also see bad driving on a regular basis, people not leaving big enough gaps, risky overtakes etc.

But the carnage from a lorry driver causing an accident is often far worse than a smaller vehicle.

I cannot disagree with you on that.

If you truly do consider what other vehicles are able to do before you pull out then you're in the minority from my experience.

Let me guess, you've never driven a truck on a motorway so your commenting on something you don't understand .

Also if its a problem why don't you just use the outside lane to overtake the 2 trucks, that's a dedicated lane for cars and vans etc,trucks aren't allowed in the outside lane . Lol happy driving

Right andrew has been i trucker for neer on 30 years uk over the water italy spain and menny other places so we know what its like . And he and i have seen menny things over the years flashing dildo being used BJ guys in stockings the list go s on .but hazzerd. Dont think so the and gone in less than a min just look at some car drivers pull out with out looking cuting onto a slip road at last min and the amount of cars that travel at less than 50 mph is a joke. Yes as a female i do know what im saying as i have traveld all over with andrew . All i can see is truckers get the bad deal but if any one go flashing and haveing sex in the woods when kids are about is ok rant over we need truckers well said x yes we need truckers but we need them concentrating the same as van and cars and motorbikes"

"I missed what you were saying, I thought you mean't they were only using the middle lane because the person infront of them in the inside lane was a lane hog

By law lorries must be speed limited to 56mph, if one truck is doing 55 on the inside lane, what makes another trucker think its safe, or clever, to try to overtake if he only has a 1moh speed advantage? All he's really doing is obstructing the traffic behind him. And its even worse in the rain or fog."

You clearly have never done the job for a living. for a start Most limiters dont get 56 spot on or even 55/54/57 thats why they are set at 56 MPH when the speed limit is 60 MPH.

2:its bloody hard to keep pace behind another truck doing 1 MPH less than you.

3: Trucks also pay their road tax ( and a bloody sight more than you ) so have as much right to overtake as anyone.

Then add the pressure of delivery times, tacho rules etc etc then thats why a truck will always pass if they can.

Iv been doing the job 25 years now, remember no limiters, 60MPH limiters and the 56 limiters, we do a hard job with more worlplace rules to follow than just about every other job. We spend hours away from home for what is now poor money and remember, not a single thing you find in a shop hasnt been on a truck at some point !!

I think you will find that there are less accidents involving trucks than any other road user, this is because we DO conentrat very hard all day, we know the risks if we dont !

We have taken an advanced test that makes us focus much more, in fact im happy to say that truckers will be look further ahead on the road than any other road user.

I'm not disputing ANY of those points (my ex son in law is a truck driver - I know what a difficult and thankless job it is and how we can't do without them)... but I still maintain it's wrong for women to deliberately try to distract them by flashing their bits. There may well be fewer accidents caused by truckers but, my god, when there is, it's pretty much lights out for anyone on the receiving end.

i dont see it as a having a 'go at truckers' to disagree with distracting someone driving a HGV (oops old terminology)...

like most threads its gone askew with 'what about this that or the other'...

anyone who has driven for a living has seen bad accidents caused by a myriad of reasons..

anyone who has dealt with the aftermath of a fatal RTC will know its not a nice experience..

its not being a killjoy to disagree with something being done which has the potential to cause serious injury and death..

not very sexy at all, pretty bloody daft imho..

Question for those who think its ok to do this to truckers and to the lorry drivers who think its ok to go along with it?

Bareback ok with strangers?

I have 2 question for all the people who've put negitive comments about truck drivers on this post,

have you ever driven above the speed limit ?

I'm sure 99.9% of you have, do you give a thought about (what might happen) if something happens?

Of course 99.9% of you won't own up to it .

I didn't put a negative comment re the truckers, they are not at fault if they are being distracted... it is the people who are distracting.

Not one single person I have read has said anything negative about truck drivers...I am sure you are a great truck driver.

All that the majority of people seem to be saying is that it is irresponsible to deliberately distract drivers attention from the road and potentially causing accidents, especially as trucks can cause so much more death and destruction than, I suppose, something like a motorcycle could

yes m8 course i have, only bloody human after all..

as most likely have you i imagine..

got a class 1 and was on the road for a few years, even taught it in the mob..

have also picked up someones brain matter after someone lost control, to be fair not through the thread issue..

weall take a risk when we get behind the wheel or in a motor as a passenger, accept that entirely..

what folk are talking about doing is stupid, adds to the risk and anyone of a professional mindset would recognise that i would have thought..

is it ok for any HGV driver to poodle along texting, reading the paper or watching a tv..

no of course its not, and same applies to other drivers also...

cant see how anyone would think its 'sexy', takes all sorts eh..

Exactly this! Some drivers are taking offence when none was directed at them. We aren't criticising the truck drivers but the fools who are DELIBERATELY distracting them.

It would take a superhuman NOT to take a quick glance at a pair of 36DDs being jiggled at them from a car in the middle lane of a motorway but that glance could cost lives and THAT'S the point we're making.

" a test that makes you focus more isnt that impressive if it lets your focus wander to a pair of tits ?! you cant be looking that far ahead if you notice a bird flashing nearly level with you..."

This comment is a classic response from a lesser qualified driver,

the reason we notice is because we've taken an advanced course and have been made aware that its Not just about what's going on in front that's a potential problem its what's going on behind and at the side of us that's a potential problem. So unlike a lot of you who only concentrate on the vehicle a few feet in front doing 70mph+ truck drivers are concentrating on vehicles more than 70feet in front at the side and behind.

why wont you address the safety aspect of the increased potential for accidents cos of this 'bit of fun' m8..

no one is seriously suggesting the majority of HGV drivers are not responsible..

Fair comment when looking out for normal, everyday sights on a motorway but someone flashing their tits in the car next to you? Was looking at those whilst concentrating on the road ahead part of your course?

Dress it up any way you like but it's not SAFE to flash at truck drivers!

At no point have I said its safe for those doing it , and I'm not dressing it up , All I've replied to is comments about drivers saying we aren't paying attention and are distracted , me personally are more distracted more often by vehicles straying from their lane into my lane and nearly crashing into the side of my 44tonne truck than a fleeting glance of a flashing women.

I don't understand how you can justify one distraction by comparing it to another. A distraction is a distraction and each carries its own potential for disaster.

How about the flashing idiots just stop trying to distract you and then you'll only have ONE set of idiots to cope with?

Wonder if this hgv driver attended the same advanced course ?

A lorry driver who crushed a cyclist while chatting on his mobile phone was today jailed for seven years and disqualified from driving for life.

......... hit......as he accelerated away from traffic lights in June last year.

..... claimed he did not realise he had run over ....., who had been wearing high-visibility gear. He also failed to check special HGV mirrors intended to help drivers see street-level pedestrians and cyclists near to the cab. He only stopped when pedestrians began hammering on his cab door.

.... admitted causing death by careless driving and making a call on his mobile phone at the time of the accident, which was captured on CCTV, but insisted he was using a hands-free kit. He pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving, but at today's trial he was found guilty of the more serious charge.

Very sad story, similar to the story about the Olympic hopeful knocked off his bike by a car driver and missed what he'd been training for four years, 1 accident is 1 too many no matter how it is caused, but as usual 1 incident involving a truck makes all truck drivers bad !!! And that is her my line of defence in this whole discussion has been.

Never said all truck drivers were bad at all, others might have ? my only argument was that girls in my opinion shouldnt flash drivers while on the motorway.maybe the answer is they walk around the truck park when the drivers are parked up and get there tits out, win win

"I'm always flashing truckers.

Stop using the middle lane when the vehicle you're trying to overtake is also only doing 56mph and I'll stop!

So let me get this right, its wrong for a truck to hold you up, but its ok for a truck to hold another truck up.

Let me guess, you've never driven a truck on a motorway so your commenting on something you don't understand .

Also if its a problem why don't you just use the outside lane to overtake the 2 trucks, that's a dedicated lane for cars and vans etc,trucks aren't allowed in the outside lane . Lol happy driving

I got my HGV licence in the army, so know full well what I'm talking about. When I'm doing 70mph in the middle lane and a feckless moron in a lorry pulls out infront of me with very little warning or regard for my safety or ability to get to the outside lane without endangering myself or others, and can only do the same speed as the vehicle he is attempting to overtake stinks of arrogance to me. I once saw one truck try overtake another for over 4 miles, causing people to brake etc, and guess what? He didn't manage it and had to pull back in behind the truck he was trying to overtake.

Unstoppable force meets immovable object springs to mind."

Only passed my test about 6 years ago, but even I can read the motorway well enough to see when a truck may need to overtake and so I'll back off or pull into that mystical land known as the outside lane. I don't understand why car drivers speed up to the back of a truck in the middle lane knowing it is limited to 56mph and then decide to pull out into the outside lane in front of traffic moving at 70+mph at the 56mph they have just had to slow to at the back of the truck...they're the ones causing a problem by not reading the road correctly and assuming that their indicator means I have to slam on and let them out or have them in the side of me as I am overtaking. Trucks need to overtake to keep the flow of traffic moving, how frustrated do you get when stuck behind some plank in the outside lane who won't pull in and let you pass at a higher speed...same principal. Some trucks move faster than others by choice and by differences in exact settings on limiters...why should they get stuck behind someone going slower when they don't need to?

"i dont see it as a having a 'go at truckers' to disagree with distracting someone driving a HGV (oops old terminology)...

like most threads its gone askew with 'what about this that or the other'...

anyone who has driven for a living has seen bad accidents caused by a myriad of reasons..

anyone who has dealt with the aftermath of a fatal RTC will know its not a nice experience..

its not being a killjoy to disagree with something being done which has the potential to cause serious injury and death..

not very sexy at all, pretty bloody daft imho..

Question for those who think its ok to do this to truckers and to the lorry drivers who think its ok to go along with it?

Bareback ok with strangers?

"

bingo!!!!

I'm sure you won't be surprised to note some on here stating those that think distracting truck drivers are killjoys openly state they bareback with strangers. Therefore hardly likely to get your point.

"I'm always flashing truckers.

Stop using the middle lane when the vehicle you're trying to overtake is also only doing 56mph and I'll stop!

So let me get this right, its wrong for a truck to hold you up, but its ok for a truck to hold another truck up.

Let me guess, you've never driven a truck on a motorway so your commenting on something you don't understand .

Also if its a problem why don't you just use the outside lane to overtake the 2 trucks, that's a dedicated lane for cars and vans etc,trucks aren't allowed in the outside lane . Lol happy driving

I got my HGV licence in the army, so know full well what I'm talking about. When I'm doing 70mph in the middle lane and a feckless moron in a lorry pulls out infront of me with very little warning or regard for my safety or ability to get to the outside lane without endangering myself or others, and can only do the same speed as the vehicle he is attempting to overtake stinks of arrogance to me. I once saw one truck try overtake another for over 4 miles, causing people to brake etc, and guess what? He didn't manage it and had to pull back in behind the truck he was trying to overtake.
