On passing said car towing caravan I noticed that he didn't even have towing mirrors on - so unless I was half way out in the next lane he'd have had no chance anyway!

I've been seeing Land Rovers around recently with a sticker on the back that has "If you can read this, roll me over!" written upsidedown. Grin

Now I'm sure that they can read...

better thought is the fact that they just don't care.. Wink

P.S. I tend to try and stay either in front or behind a truck, and not inside his blind spot on the side! Wink

Be glad. It means they probably can't read the "How's my driving?" sticker too. Grin

this is a serious problem here in the uk. Especially towards dover on the motorways. Even moreso with more left hand drive trucks on our roads. Drivers cant see any cars in the middle lane from certain points and there has been a huge increase in sideswipes.

I think I'd collapse laughing if I ever saw one of those stickers here. Grin

Yep, indeed, but I take your truck has nice big mirrors out a fair distance from the cab, and I can fully understand why you display the message - this muppet was just using his normal car mirrors so all he would have been ble to see was erm, nothing really, apart from the front of his caravan... He could at least have put a mirror extension on his drivers side mirror. With any luck a nice Volvo driver in a yellow jacket and hat may have helped him in the error of his ways...

Happens alot to right handers also CraigL, people don't appreciate just how large an artics "Blind Spot" can be, on both sides.....

Sadly, "undertaking" is on the increase in the UK, I've certainly noticed it alot more..... It is literally one way of finding yourself in the Undertakers.
