Hell Drivers

[MX51ROD]

Some of you older PHers may remember the film “Hell Drivers “
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051713/
Well the drivers are alive and barging in the A13 from the M25 through to the City .
Big tipper trucks tailgating and forcing their way through traffic , they seem immune to the average speed cameras on this section of road, and lesser vehicles just give up , it’s the old saying “Might is right “ , perhaps they know something other drivers don’t .

Great film, "a fleet of ravaged kew Dodges"

I love that film! I sympathise with them most of the time these days when they indicate politely and the completely blinkered mlm crawls past them on the motorway though....

I bet they don't go as fast round the bends as the trucks in the film though

What you mean is numpties (especially black cabs) sitting in lanes 2 or 3 below the limit when they could move over. All the tippers I see sit around the limit for the section of road they're on and don't forget that they are all limited to 56 so can't be that much over anyway.

Yes. No. Sorry what was the question?

They cant be anything like that Hell Drivers film, none of those trucks would be allowed inside the low emission zone

I used to work for a company who expected you to drive like the 'Hell Drivers' and often thought about that film when I was working.
Of course you couldn't do that today and get away with it

[SmoothCriminal]

Tippers, says it all really.

Interesting , but the speed limit on the A13 varies from 70 for the first section from the M25 , no problem there , can outpace them , down to 50 and 40 after the Ford factory that is where they start pishing

With any luck their companies will start recieving tickets if those cameras are live

That'll learn 'em
