Windy Weather

[plod]

hate driving in wind , in 2005 the truck i was driving got blown over on the M74, not a nice feeling as you can see the crash barrier coming towards you on the passenger side but in slowmotion, good job i was wearing my seat belt

Ouch, not good mate
I've driven in high winds, and couple of times it's felt like it's starting to go, but luckily never did

I know yesterday I didn't sleep very well on sunday night ( too much going on in my head ) and had 340 mile round trip in my 7.5t, and the combination of little sleep, and constant fighting of the steering wheel, I was absolutely blitzed yesterday
I was supposed to be decorating in the evening, and despite the amount I knew I needed to do, just couldn;t bring myself to do it

its not something id like to repeat , was in an artic with a double deck trailer full of polystyrene so wasnt much i could do about about but hang on let it happen

mind you know all i drive now is a flatbed truck with a hiab on so no flappy curtains to worry about
