Nacro UK Online
Nacro UK Online. This HGV was in the business of helping the community, If you want some computing skills call them. The HGV was parked and not on a long distance run, what some drivers wouldn’t give for a few weeks of this. Inside the body of this Truck we have a Red Head who can help you with your computing skills, looked over by the watchful eye of Simon, "Him a big fella" so keep focused. Back to the Truck,,, have you got the latest CB antenna like this one, its on the expensive side, seriously though how about getting one for your cab, then you can surf the web at night via satellite and call the wife or lady back home using your web cam, she can see how grubby you get after a day on the road with all its vagaries, cost for this outfit,, duno,, but ask the boss he must be loaded,,,, just say to him,,, think of the image value for his trucking company,,, well you can try!!!
I understand that Uk Online are at present negotiating with the authorities in the Highlands of Scotland, in order that they Might put the Highlands of Scotland on broadband via Satellite links. Not bad business if you can get it. Source for this information was the Highlands of Scotland, dated 23rd june 2003.
Coca Cola Truck seen here delivering to the Scottish Highlands, sometimes there are mile after mile of single track roads, No motorways for this driver, at least most of the time. Have you ever been to the far north of Scotland, east and west, its good for the soul, however remember to slow down and relax, and one of the biggest faults of southern drivers (CAR) is going to fast when they cannot see around the bend of a single track road. An HGV or PSV driver would have a fit as passenger in one of the very many cars that speed around a blind corner. So remember reader, there is no rush, go slow and enjoy, be polite to other road users, and ALLOW VEHICLES BEHIND TO PASS AT ONCE, locals will phone ahead and tell the police if you don’t allow others to pass. Locals have a job to do, let them do it!
Minsterley Motors Bus (sorry coach then) looks like a sort of Gold Fish Bowl on wheels. Coach designs are getting more futuristic, wonder if its kitted out with lap top sat connections,,, laugh not!!! it wont be long!
Then we have the police doing their job, trying to catch those idiots who come out of work at knocking off time, some heading for the motorway entrance slip road at 80 plus MPH, dodge across all the lanes making brake lights flash for miles back, which cause a wave of slowing vehicles, where they were steady. The lane jumping continues for his journey on the motorway (No the ladies don’t do this). This slows down his brother further back down at another entrance, who also does the same thing when he can.
This causes what is known as,, A Standing Wave ,, on the motorway (square wheels section) all caused by erratic drivers.
Professional drivers all know when its knocking off time,
even if it didn’t get busy,
they also know when its kids out of school time, even if it didn’t get busy,,
They all know driving standards are generally better between 10am and 3pm (remember I said generally chaps).
They all know that weekends in the summer require special caution, especially Friday afternoon
The reason is simple, and as a general rule (remember the exception proves the rule)
When the ladies collect the kids they don’t pay attention to their driving, they talk with their sharing friend and heads rotate from side to side, white van drivers are always reminded of the time of the day by this phenomenon, for the HGV driver its just plain TENSION, if, one of these ladies is in front of your articulated HGV tanker of 44 tons. Am I right chaps or am I right! You just expect anything from them from sudden and complete stops,,, for no anticipatable reason,,, to left and right turns in cars equipped with indicators attached to the steering wheels ,,, triggered by a turn of more than 70 degrees (like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted).
It was the same in the 1960's and its worse now.
If your a lady driver who doesn’t fit this description you will know what I am saying is true, because you will see what the professional driver sees,,, accidents waiting to happen!
On another subject I have posted all these photos at 1024 by 768 which is good for your desktop of that size. If you have 800X600 you can reduce the size with your image programme. It takes a little longer to download, but, whilst you read this I hope! another but!,,, the quality is good which should please you all.. Take care out there,, phrase courtesy of Hill Street Blues.
