Zombie lorries

as a HGV driver i can never see this taking off i can remember when a few companys wanted to try a use road trains two artic trailers at once our roads just cant cope .it would be funny when motorway closed and a tight diversion put on

It works in Australia but I can't for the life of me see it working here!

'Zombie Lorry Apocolypse' just doesn't sound like a film that will appeal to many.

Leyland Terrier Terror?

Dawn of the DAF?

Deaden Atkinson,The Return.

Dead MAN walks

Scanias? Oh hang on, that was not a zombie film.

Listen, I gotta go, there are men with with coats on outside...

I am HGV driver it will be alright till they see a Tesco truck in front Bassett.

what will be the distance between them will you be able to pull in the gap what happens at a jucntion will you know it a convoy  if there are ten of them you may have to go to the next junction  if you are over taking and can not get in . ten forty footers in a row four hundred feet plus the gaps thats some train length

That was my first thought ...... trying to get back into lane one to leave could be fun when towing yourself

if there are 10 of these trucks in convoy and the first (with driver) pulls out to overtake do the other 9 automatically pull out at the same time without regard to whats coming up behind them

it will never work in this country, its just not big enough to cope with the convoy system. Motorways my be fine but off them........ traffic lights, roundabouts, villages and not forgetting the deliveries....i suppose once they leave the motorway each truckdriver take's control and go on his merry little way. Apart from them drafting each other to see if it saves fuel..........what the hell is the differance.....apart from costing US millions on trials.....Grrrr

This happened only yesterday on the M6 at J36.  From there northwards, the motorway was closed.  Luckily, we only had the car, not towing, so set the sat nav to using "no motorways", and had a gorgeous ride in the hills to Morecambe

A lorry driver friend told me the other day these convoys would be using the outside lane once up and running, don't know how true that is but will be very interesting if it is. Sounds too stupid to believe but knowing the powers that be I can believe it
