Foreign Trucks

 

I live near the junction of the M11/A14 and every month or so there is a serious accident involving a foreign truck. Ten years ago, there were hardly any accidents of this type.

Three years ago, my wife was cut across by a Dutch lorry and he badly damaged her car. A year after that we believe he was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. Last week, a friend had her car written off by a Slovenian driver who pulled out on her. Both women could have been killed.

In both cases they were left hand drive trucks, who just didn't take the extra care needed when you drive such a vehicle in the UK.

We urgently need a proper survey of all accidents, so that we can take the proper actions.
