Every vehicle that uses the roads should have to study videos like this to make them more aware how a hgv has to be driven on our roads . Great video mate
I knew that driving a truck required more cooperation from other road users, but only in a vague "better give him more room" kinda way. So its really helpful to get specifics that I can watch out for. I'll prob never drive a truck but I think its good for car drivers to know *how* a truck needs to be driven, just to make things easier and safer all round. Great vids, thanks and keep it up.
Thanks for sharing this kind of video. It's really informative for new drivers, especially as a safety point.
Glad your back pal. Watched you since the first covid lock down and just watched another video of yours and you said you had been at it 4 years now. WOW them 3 years have flew in.
Welcome back!
Lovely job on that left turn
What i sometimes do intentionally wirh my truck, is, ro " accidentally " chamge lane before acrual tuen and stop diagonally across 2 lanes with indicator on , so that nobody can drive past left or right of my truck😅
Short one Barry,you are No1 though.
Is “mindful “ the phrase of the week ? 😂
Morning Mr Funny man 😊 Hope you had a good weekend 👍🏻 Just got a brew in Belfast and had a little giggle watching you again 🤣 Manc land is my home town lol 😆 But I live north of Preston now 😀
Good morning!. How we feckling, et tareet !
Is
Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
Used to have many a disagreement with examiners at a particular junction in Longsite Manchester, where there were two lanes, left lane for turning left, right lane for going ahead. Used to tell my learners to take the full outside lane to turn left. I was happy with that, as long as they checked their left mirrors before turning in case of undertakers. Examiners didn't like it and some learners failed because of straddling both lanes. These Examiners had never driven a wagon for a living!
If you can't get round that corner in the left lane you want to hand your licence back.
Victoria Avenue, North Manchester.
Nice and quiet industrial estate for parking further 2 miles up (Greengate).
Puregym, Stagecoach, chippy, Greggs all in 1 mile radius. Reasonable security too as there's a few companies that way like Stagecoach, Mantra Learning, Matthews Transport, LWC,DVSA,etc.
The reason they overtook you at the lights was because there’s 2 left turns
If you’re indicating at the first one , guess what
Great video Barry
Thanks 👍
In Bradford when you straddle lanes to do a turn, car drivers mount the pavement and get alongside you at junctions.
not just Bradford mate
Hi Barry a good Tuesday evening to you,have you watched life of Darren good clean Lancashire lad blogs 30 minutes every day,not bad for a lancky😂,sleep well.
Used to drive buses round there.
Nice one. Driving good singing not so good. BTW all trucks are She, so be mindful 😆
So true, I shall be mindful of that going fwds
Nice one Buddy but BMW drivers have been doing this for years and without indicating!
For anybody saying this is not hard work, it is just driving. You have no idea what concentration for very long periods can do to you, it is more tiring than exercise for a few hours. Take fishing for example, you sit in one place all day for 8 to 10 hours, all you do really is stare at a float in the water waiting for bites but you have to concentrate, I am telling you at the end of the day when you pack up, you are absolutely finished and knackered, driving and especially a big truck like this for a long period takes probably 5 times more concentration than in a normal car bearing in mind any mistakes can have massive consequences even at low speeds and also cost your job very easily, so those things alone are added stress and work, to me anyway. Overall it seems like hard work even if all you did was driving but then you have loggin in, strapping up and a number of other things. It is not a cushty little lazy number by far.
Agreed
