Single carriageways, cereals and parking in Calais are among the hot topics on TruckNet UK. Rikki Chequer, community manager of the popular drivers' website, draws the threads together.
Among the many topics being discussed on TruckNet UK, 'the truth about single carriageways' is receiving an eager response from the site's users. The consensus seems to be that 40mph is the legal limit so we should drive within it, and if car drivers get annoyed that's their problem.
Weetabix, or rather Oatabix, receives a roasting, not only over whether the XF105 in the TV advert is LHD or RHO, but for the revelation that a driver was sent a 10-page letter by Oatabix solicitors for making a model of their Oatabix truck!
An article in a 'free' truck paper warned of the dangers of parking in Calais.
