Am appalled at the response from the police, looks like he is parked on a bend with no lights, too right a hazard.
so am i. i would like the officers in question to be spoken to but off the record. we all make mistakes which is why i wont make an official complaint however, that kind of judgement should not have been made. it is a bend and there were no warnings. i came along at 40 in my artic and almost went into it as did many others (i spent an hour warning them while i waited for the coppers who had already been) and witnessed quite a few near misses. there is a very sharp bend at the other side of the trailer which has its own obvious dangers.
i did get hold of the driver though. his excuse was that he didnt know the area
there are several industrial areas leading off this road and he could have parked in any of them without even needing to turn around. this idiot decided that he would leave it there instead. drivers like that shouldnt be driving HGVs
