GVW could be 3200kgs but the kerb weight would be below 2 tonnesHmm, the revenue weight is 3200 kilos. Whatever that means!

Aye but when it effects your breathing then you know is a bad one. Starting back Thursday if its any better with the back support. Not much you can do when the back goes bar take it easy.i tweaked my back again yesterday too...the best thing to do if its muscular is to carry on working and take it easy in the evenings...i take paracetamol and ibuprofen together a few times a day and crack on.....
the worst thing you can do is sit around and do nothing...itll make it worse mate and itll take longer to heal.....
effects your breathing?never heard of that mate,......mines just a muscle strain...its still sore as hell esp first thing in the morning or if ive been sat down for a while but keeping moving is the only way to get it to heal quicker.....Aye but when it effects your breathing then you know is a bad one.

I've had a sore back on and off for years and even sciatica. Putting on my socks is the hardest thing I have to do. Doc just says its mechanical and not much they can do. Problem with me is all my work is physical and I usually grind it out with painkillers and wear a back support. It usually happens when I need a rest ?effects your breathing?never heard of that mate,......mines just a muscle strain...its still sore as hell esp first thing in the morning or if ive been sat down for a while but keeping moving is the only way to get it to heal quicker.....

As long as all safe.
Sugar. Hopefully they don't make it too much of a difficult claim.There's a lot of cracks that you might not be able to see in the photo. Whole grill and front bumper needs replacing. There might be some damage inside too. The brackets for the number plate are smashed so my new number plate is stuck on for now.
I'm leaving it all to the insurance company!
I think he cut the corner somewhat but it's still my fault because I pulled out of the junction and hit him. I can't wriggle out of it. I should have spotted him.
Had someone do similar yesterday, theres was myself, then a 7.5t lorry, then a cement mixer, he went past me and the lorry in one, then went to pull back in, then changed his mind and just went for it because he didnt want to wait, and missed an oncoming BMW estate by a few mm and set the poor guy about 70% up the grass bank at about 60mph. Nearly caused a 4 vehicle pile up all because he couldnt wait 30 seconds in his clapped out golf gti....One of my customers cut a corner the other day while I was coming out of her estate (and turning right)...I was furious...I just missed her so I know how easily it could happen.....a few hours later she paid me 2 cleans in advance...??...
The worst thing I see every week (at least once)is drivers who overtake a cyclist on a bend or just before a bridge because they cant wait 30 seconds until they can see the other side of the road..absolute madness...really stupid people and these are all ages who do this!?
Wasn’t @dazmond was it ????Had someone do similar yesterday, theres was myself, then a 7.5t lorry, then a cement mixer, he went past me and the lorry in one, then went to pull back in, then changed his mind and just went for it because he didnt want to wait, and missed an oncoming BMW estate by a few mm and set the poor guy about 70% up the grass bank at about 60mph.

i will overtake 3 or 4 vehicles at once in my new GTD if the road is clear and there dawdling along doing 30mph in a 50......it feels great!but im not stupid....i wouldnt overtake on a bend or just before a bridge......and certainly not in my van!Had someone do similar yesterday, theres was myself, then a 7.5t lorry, then a cement mixer, he went past me and the lorry in one, then went to pull back in, then changed his mind and just went for it because he didnt want to wait, and missed an oncoming BMW estate by a few mm and set the poor guy about 70% up the grass bank at about 60mph.

Used to do the same in my old 1.9PD Octavia, had a lovely little remap on it so acceleration was almost linear from about 1900rpm?, used to run out of revs too quickly on a 3 car overtake in 3rd?. But again, only done when i could see a mile ahead and nobody was looking like overtaking. This guy the other day was just nuts, he managed to get a whole 30 yards ahead by the time we were queuing at the roundabout?i will overtake 3 or 4 vehicles at once in my new GTD if the road is clear and there dawdling along doing 30mph in a 50......it feels great!but im not stupid....i wouldnt overtake on a bend or just before a bridge......and certainly not in my van!
