Although actually getting arrested etc seems a bit extreme, when there are people actually crashing and causing harm and damage daily....who the police will never even see let alone arrest.
If they don't see how can they take action? They have only just got 'interceptor' vehicles, I dont think these included a minority report style technology 😂

Man who yaps multiple times daily about police not doing enough says making an arrest is “a bit extreme”.

Absolute comedy gold.

He managed to keep her straight, better than any of the idiots I have encountered leaving Willowbrook foods down our way.

On the bang

think it’s reference to not using your tacho graph for hours driving recording

What does "one the bang" refer to? Is it a Scania term? lol

According to the reddit thread linked earlier in this thread, it's something to do with a magnet placed on the speedlimiter. Could be wrong however.

You've never reported something to the police and they never bothered doing anything ? Or have them attend a crash...where they take no action against the dangerous driver ?

too much
Gotta say I've drove lorries at that age in big yards and private lanes, If they kids been about them alot that probably made his day so child cruelty is a piss take..

Shouldn't have been on the motorway, but a serious fine and or points should be dished out.. shouldn't be jailed or lose the license that's the man's life and family income.

My opinion on it...

Lanes and big yards - MASSIVE difference to the M1 ffs.

It's the man's life and family income, which makes it even worse. There is no doubt that letting a 9/10 year old boy drive a f*cking HGV on the M1 is a danger to everyone within a 1/4 mile radius. Doing it is one thing which is bad enough - but filming it and posting it on social media....jesus. He should be jailed AND lose his license.

For those making out that its not that big of a deal....would you feel the same if that child wiped out a member of your family whilst driving an HGV on the motorway?

I was spoilt at that age.
my da nicked me my own motor!
I mind my da brought home two land rovers one saturday afternoon that he bought on a whim, when i was about 11. me and him raced them about the back garden all afternoon (a lap took about 8 seconds, it wasn't that big) and my ma came home and near had a coronary. They were sold again the following week

If it was in a yard or private estate we would all have said fair f*cks, teach em young.
Clearly this boys ego has the better of him and he's made an absolutely moronic decision.
For sure a punishment should be handed down, quiet what I'm not sure., books for a year would be appropriate maybe?

Gotta be a p1ss take...
Just a few points for THAT?! I’m speechless.
Have you ever seen footage from motorway crashes where cars are rear-ended by lorries?!
That easily could have wiped out a whole family....
