Police investigate film of boy driving lorry on motorway

She’s no egg, but she’s some yoke

 

[Dave..]

This fella is even dumber, he's clearly in video.

Sounds like his sister/wife is in the cab too.

Terrible, I hope he gets jail for that. Imagine the carnage if the girl had to stop or she lost control. I can`t believe anyone thinks that is safe.

..ah, all the waines are driving them these days. The "wee rod" from the 1st video has got bored with driving now and is gearing up for a bit of roof surfing on the next run out...

I have only came across this thread and after reading the tang's being defended for letting a kid drive a lorry

As it seems to be the done thing and acceptable, do the cops just turn a blind eye

I hope not.
I hope you are never called to an RTA caused by a child driving a lorry.

Anything involving kids is horrific and hard to handle let alone a scenario like that, worst nightmare.

Once i saw the word tang i was out

Another way to look at it, if the police don't do anything regardless of a lorry of not. They have blind sided a truck run and what went on. But yet have a car meet and they are all over the place. Can't have one rule for one and not the other.

Edit especially when there is such clear video and photo showing said acts.

Do you think this will force legislation for in cab cameras watching the driver?

 

[RolyaT]

Can’t see it, many drivers live in the truck and it would be very intrusive

We could set up a channel for that and call it FAKE HGV or FAKE TRUCKER

Have to teach the wee feckers to go around roundabouts !!

 

[KevM]

^^^ Look at all the people that fell out!!

 

[Eddies]

It's definitely not the truckers week...
Three units seized also

 

[KevM]

I was just about to post that.

Seems unless you have a child of the roof, 1M of 'bang' hidden in the floor and 14 immigrants in the fridge, you cant join the NI Tang club

'Top Line' has never been so apt!

 

[Chris666]

Nothing wrong, earning a living, life on the road, poor truckers victimised again etc etc

Lol - its normally us 'Car Enthusiasts' that are getting thrashed by the media. Milk it while the going is good!!

 

[mrloaf]

None of those articles mention the underage tractor drivers on ROI motorways, which we can all know are the real issue

 

[Eddies]

The telegraph has picked up on the second video going about this morning.

Arlene Foster condemns videos of 'lorry-driving children'

The first minister says videos appearing to show children driving HGV lorries are "crazy and reckless".

www.bbc.co.uk

seems its making its way to the top now.

theres no way these guys wont get made an example of , weather some deem it safe or not, there's a fairly clear set of tests for being allowed to drive a truck on the road and these children are a long way of any of them , not least the age limit. lol,

so it may well be that there was no harm in the end and that no one suffered any damage or harm because of it, but these guys let the world know what they were doing. not the best move, the rules are there for a reason and if you dont enforce them and be seen to enforce them, then your as weak as water,,,,

certainly the county depends on truckers and deliveries for everything just as they depend on many other workers, farmers, teachers, nurses,etc etc, but that dosnt mean that poor behaviour shouldn't be challenged, and these guys have put themselves to the top of the list.

i bet the organisers of the truck run will find it a bit more difficult next time around.

Possibly no children in cabs for future runs etc?

I bet some companies insurance doesn’t cover carrying of non employees.
