Ford Civil Engineering Ltd

One of their vans often blocks the cycle path on Fortibus Road in Exeter.

Clearly Ford Civil Engineers need to teach their staff how to drive. After almost being taken out by one of their vans, I came to Google to check the company out and found I’m clearly not the only one they’ve almost crashed in to! After being tailgated, the van decided to get in to the wrong lane to turn left, but turned left anyway at high speed with no regard for anyone in the correct lane! If I hadn’t predicted the van man was a bad driver from the tailgating and adjusted my driving accordingly, this would have been a fatal accident! From the reviews this is obviously a serious matter that isn’t being addressed. Please sort it out before someone is hurt!

A young-ish driver, with glasses and a moustache certainly has no regard for other road users or the rep of the company. I moved to the middle lane of a busy motorway to allow those joining to merge safely. A lorry was joining beside me, and the Ford Civil Engineering van joined behind him. In one motion, he moved into the middle lane. I had to swerve into the next lane to avoid being side-swiped. No regard for others' safety; his only concern was getting past the lorry and finishing his work day asap. Terrifying, and thankfully no one was hit.

I have no idea if Ford engineering are any good at their job but their drivers certainly have no regard for other road users. In the space of five minutes two separate branded vehicles undertook me in rush-hour traffic and pulled in immediately in front of me, they did this to many vehicles on one stretch of motorway clearly having no regard for the safety of the road users.
