Another left turning lorry. If you are prone to high blood pressure, don't read the comments.

FFS 4 posts and the RLJ justification crops up!!!

The first 2 posts are relatively balanced, but I got to post 4 and my brain shutdown (I shall resist the obvious jibe about the comment posters and brain shutting down here)

Sad to here

Can somebody please supply the journalist with a dictionary.

You should read down until you get to the post by 'Sano'; one of the best I've ever read on one of those 'comments' lists.

8 wheels or sets of wheels. 4 driving wheels and 4 steering. Sometimes called an eight legger.
