I used to work for Pickford’s removals, and we always advised customers against it, because it is not only the shipping freight charges, there are also customs import duties and paperwork to consider and it takes something like 8 weeks at least. The best advice is to buy a car when you get there – it’s cheaper all round. It runs well into four figures at least, and that was about ten years ago as best as I can remember – all I can remember is that shipping costs were by square footage but air freight was charged by weight – not that the latter is an option for a car in any case. It won’t have got any cheaper since. It would almost certainly cost more than the car is worth, and for a private individual is not worth the hassle.

It cost my uncle thousands to ship from Canada to Italy and that was 15 years ago.

I am not from your country but we get the same attitude from people like you here that do not understand. Sorry for the wreck he was in. But I am sure just as many autos if not more are in wrecks everday and we dont start yelling to ban them its not possible, you can restrict them to 10 mph and make them drive in the ditch and the fact remains they have to roll for you to survive. It was an accident, and there will be more. THE TRUCK DRIVERS DODGE IDIOTS EVERYDAY AND AVOID MORE ACCIDENTS THAN THEY CAUSE.

Sure but let’s ban your lorry drivers from the rest of the world. Maybe some gigantic truck yard in the middle of the chunnel where trailers could be exchanged…

It is an unfortunate incident you brother was involved in and I hope he’s OK. I was a truck driver for 15 years, and I have seen some foreign wagons driven very badly.

However, we need to solve the problem with British drivers. There are many thousands of British car and truck drivers, who live here, have passed a U.K. driving test and still don’t know the U.K. driving rules. Why are these dangerous drivers allowed on the roads?
They are the ones who truly need to be banned…

No they shouldnt be banned. If truck drivers from other countries were banned we would be screwed.
ow else are we going to get foreign products to our country cheaply? You think U drivers should go over, collect bring back?
It would cost too much. far too much.
The applies if UK drivers were banned from driving in Europe, how would any businesses make money if they weren’t allowed to export to Europe in trucks?

It is strange that this lorry driver does not know the UK driving rules. They are supposed to know rules of any country they are driving in.

The problem for banning them over here is that we would be banned from going in other countries and then how would we export our goods. This would cause financial difficulties to companies, which would have to close down and then more people will be unemployed.

Sorry your brother came across a bad one I have met many lorry drivers (all nationalities) over the years and they have always been very competent.
