Recovery driver phones for a temporary lane closure and it takes half an hour. Doris phones because there's a cone in her way and gets a 3 minute blue light response 😂
You'd have needed to call the 999 police to block the road which could have taken resources from an ongoing accident elsewhere, and anyway it was daytime in good light too. Farmer could have brought a telehandler out but it would have ruined much more of the crop. So good on you for managing that job on your own and getting in some good cardio... Put up some decisive-moment TH-cam shorts to boost your stats.
I'vejust came from your video with the green RS3, I have no clicked subscribe as you were profesional, courteous and dealt with him with respect so I liked how you work
I am amazed that the wheels were still round. My daughter had a Peugeot 107 and the wheels on that were like paper. We couldn't source one from a scrapyard and had to buy new to replace one that the previous owner, PSA Finance (ie Peugeot) had left as spare but which would not hold air because it had been bodged with filler paste.
Dude i am fully invested in these videos, the professionalism and willing to get on with it, watched a few already and man well done for been so safety conscious, i'd love to do this job tbh.
@GDBRescueandrecovery your welcome mate, if I need anyone for a break down or any road side assistance and I am that way I will definitely be contacting your company. Keep up the good work and great videos. It shows everyone the danger you guys are in and the standards you follow.
That was a good recovery, and I've seen a few. I was on patrol early one Sunday morning when I noticed a back axle with both back wheels sitting on top of a hedge. I pulled over and got out to have a closer look and, there in the field, was a blue Metro, more or less intact, other than missing a back axle. A quick enquiry revealed the young female driver had taken the bend too fast: quite how she managed to vault the hedge remained a mystery.
Greg, well done mate. Carried out the recovery under pressure and still adhered to health and safety practices. Topman. Keep the vids coming Fae Bonnie Scotland.
Just found your Channel Greg, have watched the big company’s and have to say I was so impressed with your approach to the job in hand. Was absolutely chuffed for you when you dropped the bed down and winced the car straight on. Then realised you are an experienced professional that’s for sure. Going to do some catching up on your other video. 👍👏
Just discovered your channel mate. I’m so impressed and appreciative on how much of a grafter you are. No messin about. Iv got my dad onto your content as well. Amazing work , keep it up, I’ll be here for it all 👍👍👍
Awsome job buddy agree very lucky young man . The country jobs always have lots of variation and can some times make the jobs more challenging but again like us on ya own no help so much respect greg . All the best Mark and Emily at Rooster Recovery
Lucky indeed! , yeah alot of different factors tbh no field is ever the same! Bless appreciate the comment and the watch as always! See you on the next one!
Hello. Fortunately the driver and you have not done to much damage to the crop or field Fortunately again it was move able on it own wheels. It is when you have to collect 2 -3 parts of one vehicle. No other way of collecting for you other than the way you did the job. It came out quite easily as could have court stumps. But yes Well Done. Wish You Well
Great video. I can't believe the lad had some hope the car would be repaired. I left the road backwards last month after spinning on a patch of diesel, the rear of my M140i hit a tree. It looked ok but I saw the rear C pillar was crumpled all the way up and along the roof to the drivers door. Instant write off.
Toyota Aygo, they're actually pretty good in a shunt! Weird one with this is the airbags not deploying! Hope customer is well! #BeSafeKeepTheWheelsTurning
Yes not out first nor last, all impact zones etc have certaintly been thought through thoroughly! Thanks for watching! Customer is A OK! See you on the next one!
Looked hard work that did I subbed keep it up You never realise when your sitting in traffic because of a crash or breakdown the effort you guys are putting in to remove the or get them moving
You had a great sweat patch on your back, looked like an American eagle lol 🤣 Did the cops tell you get hi-vis back on 🤔 Great recovery quick as you could 👍
You should get a tonne bag for collecting up the debris after the crash , they fold flat when empty so take up little space . This being a write off no problem with putting the bits in the rear but I hate it when recovery drivers jam bumpers into the back of the car that's not damaged .
Like your vids mate. New subscriber! Been looking into getting a recovery truck myself the past few years. So maybe 2024 is the year to atleast try 🤙 keep up the good vids 🤞
the difference in body deformation of small cars is so vast between my + your generation of recoveries, definitely a vast improvement in survivability, that crash wasn't even deemed hard enough for airbag deployment... did an XR2 [with 6 in] that was in 3 pieces, a mitzi gallant [4 in] 5 pieces, the engine in a tree the name of that local country road - hazard lane... nice little earner over the years PS snatch-block to nsr tie-down? [no bunching] PPS loose suppressor on the woo-woos took my lodar signal out, try turning them off next time it happens keep it up young man
I'm new subscriber. It's great youtube channel. I can learn something here🙂 by the way, for that size of car it's amazing he survived the crush but the frame of the car it's amazingly good. You can open the door. The car is not squash
@GDBRescueandrecovery Love these videos, few abandoned cars today between Lichfield A5 police station roundabout heading towards barton green that flooded road that's closed if you heard. Not sure what B road it was but worst i've seen it in years I got through but many were stuck on top of those abaonded cars. Half expected to see you guys there after counting 6 cars unattended some of which have smashed windows and are proper flooded. Then 4 cars with people stuck with water going in, crazy roads near these rivers around staffordshire. I personally regretted going down the road after. but everyone ignores the signs and some small cars took too much of a chance. It started off not too bad then it was litera river and lake at parts of the road . Keep up the videos, amazing content man. Love seeing how you adapt to each case and its all different each time must be a really rewarding job full of surprises.
When I was 18 I wrote my mum's car off into a park /field through too fences and a wall learned a lesson, but my mum was not happy at all I told her I dropped my food on the floor bent down to get it before it spiled and lost control. Thought it was a better excuse. What actually happened was a stunning girl was walking in a tennis skirt on the opposite side and the HGV in front blew it up, and she was not wearing anything under, and I crashed. 20 years later, am married to the sister of the girl who made me crash. Talk about a rock and a hard place.
Appears like it was down to Nos use. Otherwise known as laughing gas. When you first opened the back car door, there was lots of Nos canisters on the floor
Shame the winch remote packed up on your own, bloody typical 🙄 hope it was an easy fix without costing you 🙏 keeps you fit I suppose backwards and forwards 🤷♂️
A rotator to pick up a washing machine of a car. Be better just ramming a telehandler through the side doors and lifting it on the bed if the truck couldn't winch it out lol
@steve5772 It is always the way!!! You couldn't make it up!!! Although arriving 'after the gate had been shut'!!! It was appreciated the Police stopped by to spend a moment talking to Recovery man than to not turn up at all!!!:-) 😂
Hi greg,loved this one and you did you're best with what you had and apart from a bit more time you did it safely so that's all that matters,that was one lucky lad to nit get any injuries from that,so I assume it was Peggy or one of the other bellends that called the police just because they had to wait 5 minutes ffs but had you called the police they may not have even showed up absolute joke,well done on 21k subs👏👏👍
@GDBRescueandrecovery From my experience of working for a number of landowners we would always claim for hedge and crop damage in the event of rta on our land. Ironically they would constantly be in the same place so it would be replacing the same bit of fence and hedge every few years!!
You have got alot to learn but your get there, respect for all your efforts and the way you are very respectful to people. A heads up you have no right to close a road if anything happens you will be liable, as much as its a pain in the a@#£. Contacting PC plod or Highways is the best and safest way, no come backs on you.
Maybe put an electric scooter on the back of your truck ..... would prevent you having to run up and down.😜 Nowadays they can be folded together, take practically no space.
Like your content but this from experience you should have had it shut it down and have a planned recovery as there was no real urgency to pull it out you could have waited for help. Seen and saved many a life from similar situations, Also lost a few.
Yes could of been and waited etc but unfortunately i have jobs every hour of the day and this was quite far from base, so try get jobs boxed off soon as poss. Thanks for the watch

It made me giggle that it was locked 😂
Certainly not going anywhere anytime soon lol
@@GDBRescueandrecovery that was my first thought, my second was how did they lock it with the battery halfway down the field 🤣
Keep ing fit

Wash and a Tcut be good as new

Don’t think that lady realises how lucky her boy is. She’s probably in shock. Could have easily had police knocking her on door in the night.
Did insurance co. Send you or the lad called you?

A little bondo, some paint, and a new battery that car will be good as new. lol.

Toyota engines but Peugeot electronics no wonder the airbags never went off
You definitely need a young fit apprentice, not least to act as a runner!😄😀
Can I ask why you leave the engine in the truck running so long?
That’s typical, you close the road off and some numpty still goes through it 🙄
Typical plice turn up when job practically done, if you asked for assistance wouldnt have turned up😮
Would you be responsible if there was a second accident because you closed the road?
If somebody cant slow down and stop in queing traffic etc shouldnt have a driving license tbh! Good visable road conditions
