Report
Absolutely shocked and disgusted by one if your drivers ALat 6.20pm tonight. NWT truck with a MAERSK container. I joined J35 south on the M1 at 60mph. He caught up with me, got with in a cars length and then shot out without indication. In got to 65 and he was still pulling away! He then slowed to exit at 34. He must have been doing at least 70mph. Clearly driving without a tacho in an unlimited truck. A great way to represent the company. Just a shame I couldn't see his reg or it would have been an email to VOSA. Sort out your staff before they kill someone!
