Just got back in from a most annoying experience.
Coming towards me on the road are 2 escort vehicles and a wide load. I stop right up against the curb and this fellow in the low loader with a huge earth machine comes straight thru and s$$$$es the roof of my truck, put a shallow crease in it and stripped the paintwork.
I could see the blokes in the earth machine looking over their shoulders at the scene and the driver knew what he had done as well.
I span it round and gave chase, he carried on thru the lights in the hope he would get away. I got in front of him about a quarter of a mile up the road and blocked his progress.
He jumps out all smiles "sorry mate, have I got you" I was cool at this stage and we exchanged details after I told him he was a t w a t and should have stopped so i could get out of his way.
All was cool until one of the escort vehicles returned realising his wide load had vanished. Out jumps matey and says "did you not see us in our wide load escort vehicle" At that point the air turned blue and I left both the driver and this cretin in no doubt at all as to what i thought of them and their driving abillity.
Just got off the phone to the bas&^%$ abnormal loads manager. He is coming to see me tomorrow night to look at the damage which is fair enough I suppose. The damage is not bad, just a slight crease and paint loss. I was cool until this arse hole turned up to stick his nose in.
