I read this today:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/825031...

Also, just last week there was the case of the trucker killing his daughter (or step-daughter, can't remember) then hanging himself.

Also, when you see those programmes about serial killers a high proportion seem to be truckers, or drivers of some sort!

Can of worms now well and truly open, but what are we to make of these facts?

Welcome people, to truckers annonymous.

My name is censored and I am a trucker. I have successfully fought the urge to rape and murder this week. As I consider 3 items of roadkill positive, I have taken the liberty of rewarding myself with 3 Steak and Pygmy Pukka pies and 10 yorkie bars.

No, but he does look like Harry James, the drummer with Thunder.

Nice brew LP7!

Clarkson was probably a little bit towards the truth. Have you not seen Road Kill 2?

It is a well known comment that they are rapists.

Clarkson just used the standard insult, He didn't invent the whole notion it is just accepted as fact.

Oh, he's still around, but doesn't get much time to post - what with all the hitch-hikers out there to rape and prozzies to murder...

If we're going for generalisations - lets not forget taxi drivers - many are (were) rapists.

I'd guess they'd come under my comment of 'drivers of some sort'.
