If the driver had driven faster he would have got out the other side.

Did I miss when you get out of the cab switch your engine off and apply your brake.

Bridge strike tutorial: Lorries can't limbo, cautionary lessons

no doubt posted by a know nothing car driver ,!

I'm pretty new at driving with trailers. When I'm dropping a trailer off I do these things in order: 1. Apply trailer parking brake (red button) 2. Open up the fifth wheel 3. Uncouple all cables 4. Raising the truck a bit, raising it to max if it is front heavy 5. Lowering trailer legs 6. Lowering the truck 7. Drive away I notice that when I'm lowering the truck sometimes it seem to be some tension still, even though the fifth wheel is opened. And sometimes I hear a bang and then it releases so I can drive off. Is this something bad and wrong? No one has said anything when I've asked. Maybe I should drive forward just a bit and then lower before driving out completely?

Transport management are at fault, they have the responsibility on behalf of the company's they work for to ensure the drivers are suitably competent and at the very least have some understanding of the current high way code

Should’ve gone to Specsavers👀🤣

fair play to the driver he can back a wagon up

This is always a lorry drivers nightmare!! And to be honest, it shouldn't even be a thing!! Things like a low bridge by an industrial estate is just crazy! There's no reason for it! You can't raise a railway but you can lower a road! If you put proper drainage in to stop water pooling up, there's no excuse for a low bridge. My truck is 14"6 and there have been times my truck nav has tried to direct me under a 10'9 bridge despite me putting all the measurements into the nav! Luckily I've never hit a bridge yet, but it's an absolute pain in the arse trying to turn an articulated 44t truck around in a busy little street!!

Are lorries getting higher or bridges getting lower?

With supermarket deliveries you are often given a risk assessment pamphlet. Giving info of preferred route and risk and observations needed to adhere to at the destination. He either forgot he was pulling a double decker which sometimes is 16ft 2ins, or a newly qualified driver not sure or aware of trailer heights. Though he should be aware of his height. I doubt he is still working for ASDA.

Asda, keeping prices low, and keeping their trucks even lower

There could have being road work done that would heighten the ground

That last 3 point getting off 😂. He wasn’t sure which foot to lead coming down 😂. Nevertheless simple 👍

Nice clear video except an error at 1.04..commentary says 'first of July 2022' but tacho shows first of JUNE

Thank you 😊

Nice. Didn't mention lifting the legs back up a smidge off the ground to ensure easier recoupling and catching the kingpin.

My dads a driver I’m not and it’s amazing how I know how to do this lol

Best thing to do is write down the time you clock in and out each day (or arrive at work if you don't have a clock machine) . Then enter that info into the Tachograph.

Brilliant and very thorough ... 😁😁 ... My only (tiny) issue is that the gaps between explanations seem a little long? and the tachgraph keeps defaulting to 'no button pressed' maybe doing it in real-time might help ... Not in ANY way a criticism as this video has ensured I do everything right (apart from the time I clicked 'OK' to bring the display back and accidentally approved changes ... OOPS 😒😒

Never done a manual entry, been driving 25 years, tried doing them for the last month, absolutely wrecked my readouts.....i will take the fine

No trailer parking brakes applied Lol

this is perhaps the 1st one I have seen on the version DTCO 4 and is very clear an concise is there a pdf document also to support this by any chance.

Very helpful

An unnecessarily over complicated tacho compared to the rest.

Good video, thanks. Say for example the day before I'd driven a vehicle with an analogue Tachograph. How would I input this information? Would I put the start time then use the unknown ? symbol? As there is no way of inputting to the tachograph driving. And of course I'd have the paper disc in my records to show actual driving.

well done matty,i have got my 3a test coming soon

Spot on
