Can I report this dangerous driver. (1 Viewer)

[robert groves]

I have worked Extensively with the Dutch People worldwide within the dredging Industry, creating new land (they are without doubt 'The' experts) !,Also, in various offices Within the Netherlands. I am constantly amazed by their Total Grasp of the English Language Including Schoolchildren (they take Immense Pride in their English skills, and will demonstrate their prowess at Every opportunity).
If you Ignore the 'Glaring' Spelling Mistakes (and also Mine) No Dutch Transport Manager would let those by Him/Her,. Now, Let us come to the Syntax,.....Regarding The structure of the complete 'Apology' and the pleas Not to inform the Police, I am of the Opinion that it has been compiled by a 'Non-European' and most likely a Person of 'West-African' Heritage.
Read the 'Apology/begging letter a few times and it is Very Similar to the Scam emails about 'My Father is a rich African Tribal chief, and I need to use your bank account'!
I would be 'Flabbergasted' if were to be Proven Wrong, and will Make a Pilgrimage to a Holy Place........Getting Dark outside now,...Must Sign Off Before the 'Trolls' are awakened by the Smell of Fresh Meat.

You cant honestly be winding yourself up about something that happend almost a month ago on the road and nothing actually come of it, he is a tit, your alive and your motor in one piece, it can't be news to you that the roads are full of numpties? We all see it daily, suck it up and move on.

I think he was trying to give some sort of Warning....'The Truth is Out There' !

It's easy enough to check the originality of the email.

Take a deep breath, sigh at the ignorance of some and let it go. Life is just too short.

If you saw the actual footage you would realise how much danger we were in. I don't get all worked up about things like this I'm cool but calculated and believe in protecting others as well and at the end I got what I wanted.. an apology. Maybe the next time you drive past a major incident where possibly a family are wiped out by a careless lorry driver you might think again.

Do you know why after overtaking you he behaved as he did?

Exactly...Saying it happened over a month ago is NO Excuse for not bringing it to the Attention of the MH Community...MH's are the 'Pet' hate of many HGV Drivers and they just Love having what they see as just Revenge, especially if you pulled out in front of them leaving a gap of 200m's Like you, i have witnessed them getting front of them and then Slamming on the Brakes....or Not waiting for you to 'flash' them to show that they are clear of your MH...If People want a Time limit on Law Breakers..Just remind the of the '#Me-Too' and other Historical Crimes (Harvey W...J Saville etc...)

Sorry but I don't know how I am supposed to work that one out. I've never met him, spoke to him or even saw him. For all I know he could even be a she.

Many years ago a friend of mine was dangerously cut up by a London taxi performing a U turn in the road. On the back of the cab was a 'How is my driving' sticker and a phone number, my mate called the number to find it was a premium rate chat line and he was charged £5 for his trouble.
There's always an opportunity to make money.

I've met plenty of Dutch truck drivers that don't speak English or just know a small amount so I can't really see the relevance of your comment. To me it just looks like poorly translated text.

Just going off topic with this - many people complain about the standard of driving in Europe but in my experience the worst drivers I experience are on the M25 on our way home. I've lost count of the times I have driven through Valencia almost without stopping and last time there was even a cycle race on and as soon as they'd gone past the road was opend up, here it would be closed for hours.

I have met plenty of British truck drivers that struggle with English. Haha

So have I,That's exactly why i think the 'apology' was written by the driver and NOT the Manager, thanks for confirming my suspicion.

Who cares? It's a family company and the reply came from the head of the freezer section, presumably the son of the founder. One day I'll learn how to avoid being dragged into this sort of thing.

Used to do that when i was working in Oz,,( the country, that is,..not the 'land of') I would make a slight alteration to the shape of their nose when they used the BP (bloody-Poms) word,..oh such fun,....how i miss the place, so much, that i often make a pilgrimage to 'Earls-Court' !...
Enough now, time for my Horlicks and bed....reminds me, when we used to do B & B for the local Swedish/English language school, we had a 17 year old Swedish girl stay with us for the week...she was in fit's of laughter when she saw the jar of Horlicks in the cupboard, apparently...the literal translation of Horlicks is 'Whore-Licks' in Swedish ! she took a jar home as her prize Souvenir of the English
