Hi

I'll grant there are some unpleasant lorry drivers, just as there are some unpleasant caravanners.

But in my experience, towing over 30+ years the majority are very helpful and display better manners than many of us.

The roads and motorways are bad enough as they are. Don't start arguments between different types of drivers.

1. The nozzle is bigger and wont fit in most car tanks.

2. The pumps are high speed pumps due to HGV's having fuel tanks 300ltr and above, this causing more chance of diesel splash backs on your cloths and shoes.(PS Diesel stinks when you get covered and have to sit in a car)

3. If the garage is busy you will suffer the wrath of lorry drivers. (Can be unpleasant at the best of times)
