Not many people know this but apart from being a race track for cars Chester Rd is also a training ground for about 6 lorry training companies. Training lorries stop here on a daily basis.
Is it for handbrake starts?
Cars come from the opposite direction over the brow of the hill at speeds of up to 70 mph. You take your life in your hands when you pull out from behind the lorry.
I think the lorry training companies need a talking to. Have they done risk assessment on their practices. I think not.
Waiting for the day when lorries are banned from Penyffordd as we have a bypass that is very suitable for through HGV traffic.
