- An angry lorry driver sounds his horn continuously as he arrives at the Dover unable to enter the Port and leave the UK.
An angry lorry driver repeatedly drove in circles round a roundabout sounding his horn in frustration at the shutting of the Channel crossing and trying to force his way through.
The irate trucker was so enraged he could not get into the Port of Dover in Kent that he launched his own mini-protest by making a racket and annoying residents.
Footage showed the driver trying to force workers to let him through the closed entry road by driving towards them and continuously sounding the HGV's horn - only stopping right in front of the orange cones.

I want to know what air compressor he is using, because those horns have a solid supply of air.
Those are electric horns I think si

Straight from the brake air tanks
@@erikm2829 Electric Horns Sound very different... This is an airhorn
Wabco air compressor. Standard on Daf/paccar engines to supply air for the brakes, suspension and air horns
I live in Dover - and it’s been heartbreaking to see all those good folks that can’t get back to see their families at Christmas. So many people stuck in their cars and their lorries. The Dover community is doing their best To look for any problems. And help if can but Portaloos and refreshment facilities could be a good lesson for the future. Hope you get your good folk back soon! Merry Christmas. And best wishes from Dover.
Good action of the locals there.Have a Merry Christmas and a better healthy 2021 ! Greetings from Germany !
Dover and Folkestone have the best people in the UK
And? They are many other people who have other Jobs that also cant spans time with There family on christmas.
What the hell difference does it make that it's Christmas?? Are you saying that only people that celebrate Christmas should take priority at this time of year?
@@whatyousaidbud why try cause an argument over such a petty thing, it was Christmas a period where people spend time with their families, of course missing Christmas is going to be emotionally upsetting to them.
Truck drivers are, by definition, the most socially distanced people on earth.
Yet 36 still tested positive.
@hosatosa And your point? They caught it somewhere and spread it around. You can’t bitch and moan that the government didn’t lock the borders down then accept that freight comes in by drivers who are carriers of the virus.
@@911HRW to be honest, as a hgv driver who has worked throughout all 3 lockdowns, i can tell you the biggest cause of potential spreading is down to the lack of adherence to any guidlines or rules by the big companies and their RDC's. Sainsburys in haydock had drivers walking through 2 closed doors & into the office to hand your paperwork in, no hand sanitiser present, aldi's rdc in rochdale, no masks worn by warehouse staff, drivers have to unload own wagons with electric pumptrucks that do not get their handles sanitised after each driver. Lol was at strensham services 2 weeks ago, they turned off the automatic entry doors so everyone had to push a door handle, it makes no sense.
"truckers move the world" 👌
@@blyatman11 that we do 👍
I just want to say these drivers deserve just as much attention as the NHS because you'd be surprised what we'd lose and wouldn't be able to get if it wasn't for these people.
Thanks mate nice to see someone appreciates the work we do.👍
@@CarlSab9088 Yeah pal, no problem if it wasn't for you lot we wouldn't have alot of the things we have access to. I'd like to be a Truck driver when I'm a bit older because I'm only (18) and believe you have to be (21). Keep up the good work and stay safe.

No good being angry with England,France stopped them going home.
It was the UK that stopped them going home to force EU into a deal, it was not france this was all UK. They fucked it all up and look at them now not even a month out of the EU and their shops are short on supplies, this stoppage was damaging to the UK because the companies they stopped can stop supplying the UK and what can the UK do nothing, the UK is a sinking ship and the world will be watching it happen.
@@davidmcglynn2830 this was France stopping entry into their country due to a new strain of covid, this had nothing to do with leaving the EU (officially) and as someone who actually lives in the UK, I've not actually seen a single gap in supermarket shelves, the consequences of leaving the EU are greatly exaggerated to be honest

I wonder how many of those truck drivers will soon quit HGV driving for good. I would. The juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore.
I’m a hgv driver, and think I will deffo be looking for different kind of job. Hgv work is crap, treated like crap by some road users, by depots and management and some uppity security guards. As for drivers CPC that’s just a tax. Have to do 35 hours in a classroom , at your own expense if agency. Cost me £350 plus hotel . 7 hours a day. And over those 5 days you can be told the same thing every day. Though I hear it’s changing.
I’m was born in the Belfast which will always be part of the UK to me, I live in Australia now and drove semis for 6 years, I’d say it’s even worse here. Minimum 11 hours shifts but you’d normally do 14, if you got a Monday to Friday job more often than not you’d be compelled to work the Saturday for 9 hours and they’d call that getting you home early. After a 70 something hour week you’d take home a pay check that barely clears minimum wage.
That’s what you get after paying about $3000 to get your license. I’m angry at myself for hanging in as long as I did.
Already left this job. But mostly because in my country, it pays like shit while being 4 to 12 weeks on the road before coming home. And if I go to a different country, i get treated like shit and severely underpaid just because I'm a foreigner. I love driving, don't get me wrong...more than anything in the world. But it's not worth it anymore, I'm happy with my current meaningless job for shit money because I get to go home after 8 hours and have fun.
@@misterlove6225 Yeah I’m the same, 8 hours and home. Why would you want to work any longer than that.
Amen to that brother.
Sad to see, I used to be a trucker, I got out of it a couple of years ago thank god, but these guys are the back bone of the world economy, no lorries no items in shops and super markets its that simple.
Hopefully they are all allowed home for Christmas, I understand his frustration but taking it out on 2 blokes who are standing outside in the cold simply doing as their told isn't great either.
@Harry W Drivers are quitting in droves, any driver time errors on the tacho can result in fines several times your weekly wage, often these won't be your fault. It could be as simply as going into a services for a break and not being able to park. Your regularly being pushed by clueless transport administrators on delivery times based on what Google maps are telling them, not taking into account road works, or other traffic delays. Most drivers are very angry and stressed a lot of the time. Do your self a favour and look for something else. not to mention in a lot of cases you can earn more stacking shelves in Lidl, than passing 2 driving tests and maintaining a HGV license. I know hundreds of drivers, and they have either quit the profession, or are trying to quit the profession. I honestly can't say I know anyone who wants to stay in the industry. 4 generations of my family have been involved in trucks or buses, and about 30-40 of us have entirely left the industry in the last 10 years to the point I'm not aware of a single family member left in it.
@@PaulDavies4 You are damm right !
@Harry W Well I left my driving job to become a manager at a factory that makes arcade and casino gaming machines, so that's where I went. But basically anything is better than being a driver. It's very unhealthy as well, loads of drivers end up over weight with long term health issues as your sitting down and stressed al lthe time.
If the foreign lorry’s leave the U.K. surely British drivers technically should have more employment plus these foreign truck drivers are payed less wages by British employers so money should go up its the same in the construction industry all these fresh of the 🚣 Jonny come lately’s have driven the British indigenous wages down..... again employed by British companies for f+*^ all.

I'm parked up with said Driver. What a lovely bloke who couldn't get home to his Family. Remember the saying.....If You've Bought it, a TRUCK BROUGHT IT.
Poor people, they just want to go home :/
If that had been a UK driver they would have been prosecuted under the new law of Furious Driving which is a serious offence Even a rude gesture comes under that law
You can't blame them for behaving like this. I'm surprised they haven't wrecked havoc to Kent yet.
The very act of blowing the horn on a stationary vehicle is an offence

QUOTE :- "A horn should not be sounded when stationary on a road at any time, other than at times of danger due to another vehicle on or near the road."
Let them home for Christmas
The only way would be take a plane...
Not our (UK’s) fault, all down to the french......again.

Runs out of air then can't release the brakes!

I feel very sorry for them from Italy 🇮🇹
Some cops are gonna have hearing issues
Pardon
Pretty sure those are just maintaince workers.
truck drivers are treated like rats, that poor unfortunate man spent christmas away from his family,n i can safely say didnt give 2 hoots about him , and can also guarantee he didnt get an extra cent for sitting in kent for 4 days
Flamming heck he must of had no air left after that.
You have to feel sorry for these drivers being parked up for potential days no wash or toilet and food facilities,this issue should of been sorted out.
Well you see how good prepared the British government is in reality...What will happen AFTER a hard BREXIT ???
@@class8866 totally agree, the, British government is nowhere near ready for this disruption I feel very sorry for these drivers.am a HGV driver myself
let them out, let them go home, fair enough with not letting them in just let them go home
It was France who stopped them from entering France. Because of the new strain of covid
Ha it's good I came here ex3pecting people to harras the driver but they hear actually viewing from his side
Just heard over the radio that truckers at the front of the queue in Dover have been told by officials that they have to turn around and go back 26 miles to the airfield to get their COVID 19 test and if cleared they can rejoin the queue at the back! Not surprised they’re angry, what idiot thought that one up, why can’t they be tested at Dover. I’m a retired trucker and I feel really sorry for them, hope they remember that Macron started all this, pity the French hadn’t been so quick to close their borders in 1939 when the Nazi’s were invading!
We don't beg for freedom. We fight for it. I❤️🇵🇱
china is to blame
Yay, let's just blame China to cover our consistent failures, what a genius mind you have.
How bad are peoples air systems to think a air horn will use more than a artic’s system can generate? Bearing in mind matey did this for like 4-6 hrs or summin non stop n never had a problem.
if he stood in front of their car at hometime no doubt they would do the same. The guy just wants to get back home.

While I understand the frustration. It's not the fault of the people this side of the water. Don't like it? Don't come back!! More work for our wagons.
- Now that's a horn!
- Aaand it got us thrown out...
I have the same one on my bicycle
Poor man doesn't get to his family in Christmas. Hope the trucker the best.
You all know what happens when the trucks stop!!!
Yeah, they deliver by air!
And how do the goods get from the airports to the stores? And before you say vans, that'll be four vans equalling one truck.
@sam etto you’re thinking negatively. Improvise, adapt and overcome.
Being a flip flop his horn is probably not roadworthy too 🤣🤣🇬🇧
I think the issue is that there were men stood in the road not allowing the truck to pass.
The driver was sounding his horn to make them aware of his presence, but they were blissfully unaware of the truck they were blocking.
As long as the driver continues to use the horn for it's intended purpose, they'll eventually realize they're blocking the road and move out of the way.
Go on son!!!
Thank you England truck driver from my country have beautifull christmas. When you go to Poland you are arested for anything eating and drink too.
@catarina jerez because it's cheaper to be a tourist in Poland
@catarina jerez in fact, there are more such uneducated people like you who think stereotypes than there are racists in Poland, we are in 2021 and not in the 90s

damn those horns are loud
And I don't blame him one bit. That probably cost the driver a boat load of money. Probably in the tens of thousands range.
I've no doubt the worked and they opened everything back up just for him.
That horn will burn out after 2 min and 30 sec
That won´t help him !!
Nope, no useful purpose, it is however lodging a peaceful protest, and is stress relieving.
Did it help?

That is illegal in more ways than one. Book the buggers. Take them off to court. Fine them, to be paid before leaving the courtroom, and give them an option of jail for failure to pay. Sorted!! Haste? Yes, but it's only what many other countries have done to Brit drivers for years.

Bent over by employers and clients, only to be shafted again for Christmas. Congratulations to Boris and Emmanuel.
don't the drivers know it is France stopping them getting home not the UK
Easier to complain at Boris isn’t it. It’s the in-thing these days regardless of who’s actually at fault.

£350 million a week for the NHS....
First off who in the world named cab-over trucks lorries because the name Lorry or Lorries doesn't make any sense AT ALL just call the vehicles Trucks for crying out loud , secondly what in the world is the road blocked for anyway I'm not from there so i don't know what's going on and there isn't anything useful information in the video description.
Basically the French doesn't want anyone entering their country and the ferry leads to France so it would be pointless trying to run the ferry's for them to turn them away when they reach France.
