I F@$%ing hate trucks

[Coisman]

Hey guys

I agree.Hate them even more after Monday.Was at the robot to turn onto freeway,green arrow for me,so i turn and truck across at the robot decides to skip the robot and turn even though its red and he is not allowed to turn from there as he is only allowed to go straight.Anyway he goes for it.I manage to stop just next to his right back wheel and notice that if he moves,the bull bar at the back of his truck is going to take my bumper off!

I hoot and tell him to wait as i'm going to reverse abit,so he can go.He totally ignores me and proceeds to hook that bull bar into my left side bumper and continues driving untill he rips my bumper off till the numberplate section and drives off.Could'nt go after him as bumper started to fold under when i moved forward.Got his reg though.

Luckily it was on my PEUGEOT and not my BMW otherwise i'd be locked up right now.

Just thought i'd share

So did you open a case of hit and run against him??
or did he stop after he raped your car?? :dunno:
Do you have his details??
I want to go "Skiet die bliksem!!!"

I am just glad that my car has good brakes and good handeling, and that there was no-one behind, otherwise I would probably have been dead.
I was at here (where the R21 splits of to the R24)

I was in the righthand most lane, and just before the split passing one of these large trucks, the type with two trailer on, (it was in the lane just to the left of me) when suddenly it desides its just going to cut in front of me so that it can go on to the R24, well like I said luckily I was able to brake and swerve further to the right to be albe to avoid it, else I might have been caught between the wheels of the trailers.
Of course it was only later after I got home that I realized how lucky I actually was.

Hey Coisman

Did all of the above!Thanks
Unfortunately he drove away,but i got the registration.Calmed the wife and kids down,then hooked bumper on with some cable ties and drove home.15:15 Went to report in Lenasia,after waiting in queue,the officer tells me that he does'nt know how to fill in the ARF(accident report form) and that i should wait for another officer.16:00 other officer comes to assist but after telling him where it had happened he refuses to fill out form as the accident occured in Town(around the Crown interchange)and that i should go to the nearest Police station in town and report it there.Refused to leave and asked nicely that he complete the form and then send it to Town or wherever he has to for me.16:30 he decides that i should complete it myself.Gives me form and a pen.Pen does'nt work!My luck!He asks that i wait until he is done with someone else,then i can use his pen.17:35 he gives me his pen,17:45 i give him back completed form.He goes through it and tells me that its wrong.Throws it away and begins with another one for me.17:50 to 18:40,Finally its done.Tells me that i can go and someone will contact me with the case number. STILL WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!How frustrating.

Like i said before, lucky for him it was'nt my BM!!!

Coisman,asseblief kom hier en skiet die bliksems by die Polisie Stasie!
Hulle mors onse tyd en hulle ken niks!

Geniet die naweek!

Dankie

it think almost every week i almost get taken out buy some or other random action performed by a truck...
the most common one being pulling out into the fast lane doing 40kph up a hill...
I hardly get pissed anymore but sometimes after they move over gain after what seems like a life time
i pull infront of them slow down to 20 the speed off again...

can you get into trouble fro throwing bricks at them?
