Seeing those red lights at 0300, think we should adopt the French method whereby after a certain hour, traffic lights resort to flashing amber which means approach the junction with caution, adhering to standard priority rules.
It's amazing, they spend £millions on speed and seatbelt cameras to catch you so they hit you with a fine but cant install infra red cameras at traffic lights to detect vehicle's approaching red lights for them to change if nothing is coming through the other lights, or a cheaper modification is to have lights flash amber after and before rush hr traffic, I know from 20 + years driving abroad that this works well and keeps traffic flowing. Another UK fail. Happy Christmas to all ex and still driving HGVers.. (Amazing grammar that..), 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Informative video again Trucker. Q. Do you ever venture "Oop North" above Scouseland to God's own country, N.E. England? Oh and the trucker having a pee, has he not heard of a piss bottle? 😂 Merry Christmas to you and your family sir, and best wishes for 2025.
Thanks mate, and thanks for all of your kind words, I appreciate them so much! Yes, we do go 'oop north' and I will defo get around to making something in the new year. I had the excitement of going to Aldi Darlington twice last week! It's a great place to deliver to as it only takes you 25 minutes to get unloaded, the problem though is that it takes you 45 minutes to get through the gatehouse. Security guy isn't the quickest on the computer and types with 1 finger whilst the other 2 sit on their phones haha. To be fair to that fella having a pee, that queue just wasn't moving anywhere fast and he may have not been a tramper and I suppose if you gotta go...you gotta go lol. All the best to you and your family too mate, have you got much time off over Christmas?
Bloody amazing video, i showed this to my dog and he loved it!
😅
I didn’t have bad mad Friday until I was the M62 and because of 3 all rear shunting each other I had to take another 45 minute break to get back home.

@@AL-zg5qs totally agree! It's madness!
Roundabouts with traffic lights always flow better when the lights aren't working, even at peak times.
I've often thought that as well about that section on the M1 just after J11!
It's not the only one either. I have a video coming in January aboout a very similar section but in another part of the country. It's nuts!
There aren't two half past two's in a day, especially not for an hgv driver
My planner thinks there's a 3am tomorrow. He's very deluded 🤣
02 25 Start 😭
@@magravy1 i even felt sorry for myself putting it in the video 🤣🤣🤣
