    The camera makes the roads definitely look narrower than they are. But I think the US roads are generally a little more spacious. Truckers never have enough, since they're asked to haul such long and wide loads, but it usually is a little more roomy though.

    If it wasn't for the stress of the driving, it looks like a nice city to visit!

    Love the sign language you shared with your fellow trucker! Just oblivious to your rig being there.

    Used to deliver into West London and West-central, within Whitechapel for a production company (film and TV stuff) and boy I am SO glad I switched jobs.
    Now do local work, no motorways, no parking attendants and no traffic Wombles (HATO's) for a fender bender.

  • @Stretch1931
    @Stretch1931 2 года назад

    That particular road needs a dedicated truck/bus lane for extra large transport vehicles. It's shocking they don't route you around a different path and expect you to somehow squeeze down the road. Because just as you were reacting, even though the cab fits, the trailer has to follow the cab. And around the turns, it could have impact with a four-wheeler. That's poor planning on the city. And since your goods keep the city alive, they should find a better way to accomodate tractors and semis.

    Well ! That was fun ( for me ! ) well done on the London drive . As a Londoner , I’ve done vast amounts of miles in and around London first in Lorries , then 40’ coaches and for the last years of my working life in a Transit . It got progressively worse as the years went by . What used to be a fun challenge become a chore even in a transit . Traffic , cyclists , motor bikes , traffic wardens etc has made delivering in London a bloomin’ nightmare now . So , so glad I retired 8 years ago . I have no intention of driving in London now . Ever . You handled it well !! But I really enjoyed the drive with you , things have changed , for the worse , since I last drive there . And all that driving , for sweet Fanny Adam’s …….

Yes the Cenotaph is where the main Remembrance parade is held, not sure what the other memorial just before it was, could have been the Bomber Command memorial

    What a joy London is. An absolute pain of a city to try and deliver into. A complete shambles. What a complete idiot of a driver reversing toward you with something on the tail lift. Complete clown. Who the heck would want to drive in London. Incredible. How you manage to stay so calm is amazing in these ridiculous traffic jams. Brilliant job there Martyn. What a complete b..... waste of time after all the messing about getting there. These organisations should be charged double time for the excessive number of hours being kept waiting around. So so frustrating!! Hope Claire had a much better day than your day Martyn. Stay safe both and take care.

    1:01:40 - that's not Parliament, that's St Margaret's church; Parliament is behind you across the square. Seems a very odd route both in and out - I'd have thought you'd have been better off going via Hyde Park Corner, Constitution Hill, then the Mall. And definitely not along Victoria St on the way back; instead of reversing you could have gone ahead onto the Embankment, then left along Northumberland Ave back to Trafalgar Square. Assuming they're all open at the moment. Also, how did you manage to see the flag on Parliament from St James St? You must have x-ray vision :)

    The fine for the box infringement! Yes, you should have appealed, yes, you would have had it turned down, but you can appeal further and the chances are it will be dropped. The main reason for this is that it will cost more to take you to court or admin costs than they will get in fines! I did this when I went through Bath and got done for entering the CAZ. I know a guy who ex police SOCCO and he says you can get a lot of minor offences dropped this way!

    Hi Martyn, I am going to be training on C+E soon, I enjoy watching yourself and the other Road Legends for help in driving Class 1. You were over 4 hours parked outside where you were meant to deliver but on double yellow lines and double stripes on kerb, how do you get to do that, if it is no loading / unloading at any time. I feel for you driving into London then have to bring the load back out again.

    • @Bambitheman45
      @Bambitheman45 2 года назад +1

      Sites can apply to the council and ask for a blanket permission to park generally costs a site ££££'s. Some don't and these ones sort of rely on the discretion of the Parking Attendant on duty. Which means the driver's attitude comes into play. A bad attitude and that ticket is going on the windscreen quicker than Usain Bolt out of the blocks.
