A few years ago I followed a wheel across the Friarton bridge, It was quite happily toddling down the outside lane. I put my hazard lights and covered it with the van. At the Perth turn off there was a bloke standing next to a twin axle trailer with a car on it, as the wheel and I got closer he crossed the road and lined up to tackle it. My thoughts were that I'd be phoning for an ambulance, as it was still doing about 10mph. It turned out that he was a big fella and it was quite a small wheel, what a save, he must have been a goalie at some time. No accidents, no police and he got his wheel back, but I bet had sore hands for a while.
Another good video, I can’t say anything about weight like you I was once skinny but ended up at 28.5 stone as I listened to nobody at 6ft 5in I could carry it but it wasn’t good it even earned me my “Tiny” nickname which has stuck for over 20yrs glad to say I’m a good bit lighter but now have type 2 diabetes and 12 weeks into recovery from a knee replacement (knee went downhill rapidly as I was walking 3 to 4 miles a day to lose weight, you can’t win 😂) I would never preach to anyone but just be careful with your weight there is a fine line between enjoying life and shortening it. (This is only my opinion not meant to cause bother, just looking after a fellow driver)

I could google it, but why is a truck and trailer called an "arctic", and what is the difference between an "urban" trailer and any other trailer you'd pull?
"Artic" is short for "articulated" just means the truck bends in the middle,and an urban trailer is generally shorter than a regular trailer and sometimes like mine has an axle that steers,it's meant for tight access areas IE: inner city lanes.hope that clears it up for ya 👍
he didn't join the carriageway atall!he was actually parked there lol,possibly broken down and i didnt move over as i seen him from quite far away and he didn't attempt to join even though he had ample time to go,thanks for watching!

Did you get your truck sorted out
Seems to have sorted itself out lol,not had a problem since
3:05 Not much of a slip road that! Would you rather he just pulled out in front of you? You also didn't pull out to the outside lane, did you?
