Fifth Gear Transport Services

Very aggressive and unnecessary driving by your lorry WP71LUW just before 8am on Wednesday morning in Hastings. Overtaking me in the left hand lane as the two lanes merged into one forcing me to brake hard and squeezing my car over towards the traffic island on the right hand side. There was no need for it whatsoever, simply using the large vehicle to bully smaller cars out of the way. Very dangerous. To make matters worse I then had to follow the lorry slowly as it trundled along the following narrow roads and up the steep hills. So what was the point? So impatient and unnecessary, driving an HGV is a serious responsibility; suggest this driver is in the wrong job if he wants to drive like Max Verstappen. Poor driving seems to be a recurring theme for this company judging from these reviews...

On the 6th of April we had an incident with one of the drivers on Abbotsbury gardens, Pinner, HA5 1SZ around 17:30. The HGV, EX21 HSJ, whilst turning into the parking lot has made contact with our vehicle and broken our wing mirror. Upon contacting the driver of the HGV he initially refused to acknowledge the damage caused to our vehicle and the fact he had made contact with our vehicle even as there was an eye witness within the car and in another vehicle. He even attempted to deflect blame on to us citing where we parked showing me he had no understanding of the road laws. Once attempting to request insurance details he then further refused to comply asking for video evidence, signalling to me that this driver had no idea of the due process of dealing with vehicle collision incidents. If this is how the company conducts its business and how it closes to hire people to drive on roads when they have a complete lack of understanding of the laws of the road I am appalled and the only reason I have been unable to contact them more directly as it has fallen on easter weekend. I will be raising a formal complaint as soon as possible. What a pathetic display overall
