Standard of driving

I drive about 1000 miles a week (often to central London) towing a BJ race transporter 6 behind an Isuzu DMax Utah. Very rarely ever have issues with buses, trucks or proper cabbies. Mini cabs, scooters and cyclists tend not to appreciate how much space a 9'3" wide trailer takes up. Closest calls have been people undertaking me - just don't ever do it...

It's amazing how much you concentrate with a car worth 10x your house on board, even still I have a couple of near misses by other people pretty much every trip. All recorded on camera as sooner or later I'm likely to collect someone doing 120mph up my inside when they are joining a motorway and MUST get out in front of me.

Are you delivering expensive cars in Lonodn with that trailer?

If so, were you delivering a Ferrari on Pont St near Lowndes Sq a couple weeks ago? Because whoever it was parked in an awful place causing the traffic to mess up.
