Professional drivers, in 40 odd tonne trucks at 56mph, caught playing fking wky phone games, wking about on arsebook etc etc, should just be banned for life. No fking about, youre out, no job, no income, take the fking bus and go work at the local Co-Op.
Why do we all put up with this st. We all see it day in day out, no enforcement, most truckers are up to it, don't give a st at all. And when they bring in speed limited cars, car drivers will be doing it, all foot to the floor, no worries about speeding, so more time to spend looking at their fking phones, cars will be steering themelves and braking, what else is the driver going to do?
.
There seems to be no excuse not to give this utter fktard the maximum sentence, but I bet my bks they don't.

Solid rant, 8/10 :P

I suppose the only way this is every going to stop being a problem is when we all have Tesla style vehicles that just drive themselves where the human doesnt need to do any input.

can't disagree with anything you've said there, mind you I did see that another fktard got jailed for doing a u-turn on a slip-road so I do live in (probably forlorn) hope
