As a driver of 7.5t vehicles for over 30 yrs the first thing I'd have done is jump out and have a quick polite conversation about who was in a better position to back up , everyone reading out the same hymn book , smiling and solving the problem quicker 👍
@Jim Bob unclear. The first sign points right. As I understand it that would be a road off to the right and not the road itself as that would need signs on each side of the road(like speed limit signs etc) not sure why then there is another sign off to the left. Tricky one to say unless you're actually there, either way his attitude stinks
Please Google map the road shown in this video and then assess it again, then comment. Coming from an HGV driver myself, i always try to see from the other side point of view, not one side. If you looked at the other end of the road, you will see why he was down on that road
@Jim Bob Yup, i'm with you. I google mapped the whole road and the sign approaching him is confusing, as it shows a white arrow that was pointing left. That indicates there is a weight limit of 7.5t to road on the left with the distance on it as well. Could of been a new driver. I sympathize with the HGV as the council obviously has no clue on this occasion. I maybe biased as an HGV driver myself, but i always look at it from both sides, as everyone should do, rather than jumping to conclusions
Something like this happened to me a few weeks ago in lancs, I'm a new pass on class 1 and the built in truck sat nav took me up a narrow lane. Now where this driver went wrong is he didn't admit fault which I did. As soon as the locals genuinely knew it was a mistake and I was truly apologetic they were amazing in helping me out. Every can make mistakes it's what we learn from them and how we react to them that counts. I'm so sorry that woman with a child felt scared he should have been reassuring to you as it was his cock up. Since found out there was a major road closure in the area and sat nav re routed me. I haven't used that sat nav since
I never use company microlise or built in sat navs because they often route you down roads you shouldn't be on. Invest around £350 on a decent truck nav personally I have a Tom Tom 6250 with live traffic but I hear people say Garmin or snooper do good ones for a similar price
@@madb132 does your road map warn you of accidents and delays up ahead and reroute you saving hours sometimes, no it doesn't sat navs used correctly are vital in modern transport. Relying only on a map, bad move...
Great job that woman driving, while keeping her cool, and being a great mother all at the same time. She even reset the reverse perfectly. Huge thumbs up to her 👍 The HGV driver should be ashamed of himself. He showed aggression in his actions several times to a woman in a car with a small child, all while driving a HGV for a living with the company name on it.
@@davidnobbs4700 most times the road weight limit is just a suggestion its not there to be followed as some vehicles may beable to pass at that weight and some may not
I saw a shorter version of this the other day. It only showed the part of the lorry driver getting out and picking up his broken mirror. People literally were blaming the woman. This clip includes a lot of context and now we know who is really at fault and the lorry driver can only blame himself.
@@JackVXR How are lives getting ruined over trivial shit like this?? Who cares what some strangers thousands of miles away think about you, even if there are loads of them.
The driver of the car acted like a real lady, stayed calm & coped with an intimidating situation very well. The truck driver was (& probably still is) a right prick. A link to this clip should be sent to the company, but it's probably them that put pressure on the drivers (still no excuse for his behaviour). Best resuls would be to send a link to the Traffic Commisioners - they can take immediate & drastic action without having to bother with the ineffective CPS or the courts. Most HGV drivers are courteous & have a diffecult job to do - fortunatly, cretious drivers like this driver are rare.
@@TonyL2567 brilliant, well as someone else said, it's probably them putting the pressure on him to deliver. Doesn't excuse him being a total bellend, but if that's the sort of company he's working for...well...
I'm a hgv1 driver and in my earlier career made mistakes and gone down the wrong road and missed signs showing weight restrictions so once committed you have to carry on, but the way that driver went off was well out of order. He is the professional driver supposedly, but shown himself to be a complete dick. I wonder what excuse he gave his bosses for the damage to his vehicle, well handled by the lady driver 👍 and I hope she realises that all lorry drivers aren't like that idiot. You should send the footage to his company as if he had damaged the glass in his mirror then that vehicle should have been recovered or he should have called someone out to fit a new mirror but I bet he just carried on his journey with a possible defective and dangerous mirror with sharp objects protruding. He needs reporting to the council as well, if he hadn't been so aggressive then I would have ignored it but you need to pass your evidence on to the various people so he can be dealt with. We all make mistakes but it's how you deal with them and solve them that counts. 👍
Trouble with you class 1 boys is that you've forgotten how it is for us class 2 boys in the jungle keeping it real getting thing to places that you'd faint at !! You stick to the motorways mate and try not to be so judgemental . I think the waggon driver DID keep his cool. Fair enough he probably shouldn't have been there but people have to be able to adapt to road situations. If she'd just reversed up in the first place , then maybe the waggon could have carried on and made his delivery of farm equipment to the local farm. I've been driving HGV class 2 for 25 years.
The weight limit is for the weak bridge that goes over Red Brook. The truck shouldn't be down there if the driver acts like a spoiled little brat when things don't go his way. I can understand why he has taken this Partington-Altrincham short cut, but he has got to be prepared to deal with the oncoming traffic in a more professional manner. The lady in the cam car did everything she could and stayed calm. It worked out in the end...
Please do me a Favour & for the Lady in Car with her Children Send this video into Traffic Commissioner Office They will take care of Driver and take care of Company as they need Operator License I've had this Crap going on with a Registered Business Attached to my Family Home Constant Children Teenagers Adults and Pensioners with Disabilities at my Family Home As a Registered Carer Registered Business Lothian Borders Police & Police Scotland Not Charging Any of these Driver's or Companies or Reporting Them to Traffic Commissioner Office We didn't know any of these Facts before 30 year of Corruption With Police HSE Council DVSA Councillors MSPs MPs Especially the Corrupt Crown Office Merry Christmas everyone 👍🏴✌
I admire her coolness - especially with the child in the back. It would have unnerved a lot of people. My missus would have got out and given the truck driver a right bollocking - and wo betide the dick if he'd answered back...
The guy was being a bit of a dick. When driving down country lanes you know this can happen and be prepared to deal with it, especially in a larger vehicle. He could see there was a car behind the camera car who wasn't reversing either. The camera driver did well and stayed calm as the truck driver clearly was trying to intimidate. Situation just needed patience and common sense.
@cookiemonster I don't disagree. Of course it is safer and easier. But it didn't call for the truck driver to have zero patience and to have a strop at having to wait a bit. There was a second car behind the camera car who needed to reverse first and at the start they weren't moving back, therefore there was nothing the camera car could initially do. Waving arms and giving intimidating looks isn't going to help. And then driving unnecessary quickly towards the car as they were reversing at the end was a deliberate act of intimidation and was uncalled for.
@cookiemonster then surely he should be used to it! It's a narrow lane and he's in a truck, if ant driver on such roads can't understand that inevitably you'll have to wait/reverse then hand the license over or use another route. But referring to this one video which is what we are here for, he was being a dick and just needed to take a breather. He wouldn't have damaged the truck then.
@cookiemonster firstly, and to repeat myself, I don't expect the trucker to reverse, I've clearly said that. Second I don't get your first sentence. How is the car driver responsible for the truck driver having a strop? It is the strop that has got this video uploaded and his truck damaged. I seem to be repeating myself but the trucker just needed to wait a bit and give people a moment, and if the car drivers still don't reverse then a simple explaination (which shouldn't be needed) to the cars that they needed to reverse would have resolved it in most situations. Only if they refused to move would I'd defend his behaviour but they just didn't have a chance before the trucker started getting all stroppy.
@cookiemonster lol. Who shouldnt be there is the person who should be reversing. Just like going into oncoming traffic lane to pass parked cars. If you meet oncomin gtraffic lane when you are crossing the white line and they are not, even if you are driving an artic, reverse. Your own fault for messing it up, be responsible and accountable.
Reported the plate to the company and sent them a link to this video 2 weeks ago. Didn't think I would get a response. Just heard back today. The driver has been reprimanded and was demoted from driving duties for improper road conduct. It sounds like he's had a track record of poor driving. I can forward the email on request to anyone who wants to see. Safe to say he won't be harassing anyone else anytime soon.
I’m a lorry driver myself and I can say he’s a terrible driver and probably wanted to make a short cut by going down a weight restriction. Well done to you for being so calm! It’s usually the car that’s in the wrong but this time not at all
You reckon they took him off? You're more gullible than we thought. The email you got back is standard wide across the industry. Until you know what goes on in transport, you have no idea. lol
I'm a lorry Driver, live locally and seen this happen many times. The lorry diver is at fault for ignoring the weight restrictions and his reaction is due to him knowing he has done wrong by going down this cut though. And also the pressure from the industry to be on time
Regardless of doing a delivery or not the sign clearly states 7.5 ton With no except for access signage. So therefore he shouldn't be down there. It's down to his company to put it the right vehicle. I did this a few years ago and got fined for it and was told those reasons above from the commercial road policing unit.
He was totally at fault, aggressive because he knew he was in the wrong. Good on the lady driver, for keeping her cool and not get intimidated by his poor driving skills. Being a male professional driver I know things can get difficult at times on the road, and we don’t always see the other person’s view . But what a wan@er.
For the size of vehicles vs radius of bend, I’d have had a go at swapping sides on the road (lorry near barrier, cars on outside). Much like achieved when reversed.
@@ShyloGaming Accidents happen. Sat nav route issues, delivering somewhere on that road (dispatch allowed inappropriate truck etc) regardless everyone makes mistakes. Life is better when we don't play the 'BuT ItS YoUr FaULT' game and instead just work together, calmly, respectfully to resolve the problem
Can I just say as a hgv driver these multi drop company's send you down some pretty tight country lanes where you have no choice but to go. and trust me its the most stressful time any driver can have as the fear of getting stuck down these country lanes.. it doesn't help in these situations when car drivers just sit there and look at you when you cant back up. I can see the stress in that driver as he really doesn't want to be in that situation. These multi drop companies/planners don't give a shit as long as it looks on good on them to get the deliveries done.
He was bit of a arsehole though. “I’m bigger than you, that means I’ve got right of way” type attitude. Maybe he should have more patience instead of forcing his way through
@@DazzaYT: Matter of fact, a "sorry, could you back up a bit? It's difficult for me to see what's behind me, as you can guess" would have done. Most people would have more sympathy and from at least the short perception I have of the cammer, she would have accepted reasonably (even if maybe she might be moaning inside about the lorry being there!)
@@Studmuffin666: The company seeing the video won't change anything if OP's post is valid, if anything they'll swap out the driver here with another asshole who'll still disregard those signs. Many companies have a habit of getting their staff to do shady things ("you best meet these targets and routes, or else"), without them accepting liability when things go wrong ("we didn't tell him to do that, we have a policy against that. We'll dismiss him, don't worry"). A whole separate topic but that's why company culture is so important, while I don't condone taking your misery out on others, you can't be surprised when people do that after others make them miserable.
You kept your cool and under those circumstances your manoeuvring was spot on 👍 As for the Truck Driver not a very good representation for a professional driver 😯
Maybe contact the haulage company and request they view this video, recommend driver training, I've been in this situation and I was driving a 7.5ton truck, had I have seen the signs for 7.5 and knowing how bad it can get for a 7,.5 there is no way I would proceed this route in anything bigger, driver is only angry at his own incompetent decision, its clearly time he gets a job he is capable of, unless of course he's delivering within the 7.5ton limit therefore his transport manager is to blame, eather way send in this video to his company as his behaviour is alarming as there is a young child in the car.
@@1t_wasnt_me I guess it's OK to display anger and project fear that you're on the edge of loosing control based on a normal incident that happens to many drivers, if this company backs this driver it doesn't actually surprise me as many company's don't care about other people unless you're one of their customers, the video speaks for itself, did the female driver display bad and potentially threatening behaviour, no of course not just the apparent professional driver did ,I wonder what would happen if a collision had taken place, maybe his anger becomes violence, it was clear he lost his temper and became threatening by loosing control ,he's amateur driver and if his company is trying to put blame on anyone on this planet for him to lose control over something that takes place with many drivers then their amateurs too ,I'm certain he would have maintained his display of anger and potentially threatening behaviour if the lady driver was police .
Well, I'm sorry to say this but, I passed my HGV at the age of 18 in the forces some 43 years ago and that driver is an idiot. You follow the roads signs, they are there for a reason and that vehicle was well past 7.5 tons. I do agree that sat-navs do act upon occasions but, as a driver, you should know the height, width, and length of your vehicle. and if your truck is too big for the road you stop as soon as you see the sign not go past it. Signs are typically at the entry to a road as was clearly seen in this video. He is lucky that a vehicle with blues and twos was not going the other way. Sounds quite petty I Know but if an ambulance could not get to a destination and a person died what would that driver get charged with? makes you think!
@@olibarber2232 What has the number of axles got to do with it? I've driven a fair few 7.5t lorries (Mostly Iveco Cargos) and the truck here is absolutely NOT a 7.5t. That's at least a 12t and possibly upto a 15t.
He's in the wrong job I think. Obviously has no idea how to handle pressure. He should have apologised to you at the beginning before asking if you could back up as he shouldn't even be on that road. Kudos to you for remaining calm and professional!
Sounds like you don't know how much pressure those guys are under, they're treated like they're not even human in this country, i'm surprised more don't behave this way.
I've just passed my HGV and sometimes signs get missed or wrong turns get taken which can put you where you're not supposed to be. Attitude however, is something that you always have control over and this guy had a stinking attitude. I would suspect he knew he was on the wrong road and was naffed off about that and with himself for that but some people just can't accept they are in the wrong and instead push their frustations and anger onto others blaming them instead. His issue not yours. If it had been been me, I would have got out and come and spoken to you, apologised and then duscussed the best way to resolve the problem. Nice and friendly :)
To be fair looking for businesses when your a HGV driver sometimes leads you into precarious roads and this happens. Also well done to the female driver with the cam.
As a hgv driver myself I have to admit the lorry driver is at fault here because it’s a “Mandatory weight limit” the only time you can drive into a weight limit is when the signs say below “Except For Access” and “Except For Loading” and even then you can only go through those IF you need access to an address that’s only accessible within the weight limit!
She was amazing ,, cool and non reactive whilst reassuring her young passenger. I'm an HGV Driver and I'm appalled at this man's attitude. Aggressive, bullying, non cooperative. He a disgrace to the industry.
The driver done well BUT should have not been there in the first place. The lady driver kept her patience and her cool and behaved incredibly well, even attempting to squeeze past.
Good morning Docker, just see many of the comments on this. It is not possible to have a weight limit one way on a narrow road, The weight is still there irrespective of which way you are travelling.@@dockerandy
Good morning Rossi I do not think there have been any comments about rights of way? Bit if you read David Brighouse comment can see he is a Professional driver with local knowledge (does not come any better than that), but signs show weight limits, and I personally think that the lorry driver lacked "Good judgement" as there is an alternative way round, Short cuts are not necessary quicker? But I still think both drivers done well.@Rossi Carmichael
Hi you are most probably right? but I suppose if the lorry driver approaced the driver and offered to help her reverse may be she might have?? who k@Rossi Carmichael
Umm have you not thought the hgv driver had to deliver to a farm etc!.. sort your selves out you arrogant car drivers.. when you go shopping to your supermarket remember this.. your coffee comes from a truck delivery so respect the lorry.. they have more priority than you if you like it or not
Lorry driver is totally at fault, wouldn't have been some gobby if it was a police vehicle ! Well done to the lady for not saying anything, probably felt intimidated,
@@12Angus03 So she’s in the wrong? Got it. There was I thinking the needlessly angry lorry driver who was on a road he shouldn’t have been on was the one at fault. Who knew I could be so deluded? Not I. Thanks for sorting things out so concisely, Angus 👍🏼
@@darrenwright9619 not at all, stop jumping to conclusions 😂 just curious as to why she'd even attempt squeeze through there and put herself in a dangerous position when it quite clearly wasn't possible
I've been a truck delivery driver for 10 years, he was wrong to go down that country road whether he saw a sign or not with a truck that big but With the amount of cars on the road these days and the stress of trying to do countless deliveries in short time, it doesn't surprise me the way some people act bearing in mine that we all think we have right of way in most given situations.
@@iantaylor6538 true he would of had no choice, but then the company should of chosen a smaller truck, a five tone truck would be able to deliver a couple of tone if needed if he was delivering to a company (I don't think it would of been down a country lane though, never seen it before, company's use major roads to there entrance even in the countryside) if the road was 7.5 tone only and the delivery point was on that road, I learned to check my route before driving there not just following a satnav (not saying I didn't come into difficultys) , which we all know cause problems.
Handled it brilliantly? I think not, why did she even attempt to squeeze by it was obvious there wasn't room. And the fact there was a child in the car is neither here nor there.
The weight restriction was 500yards down the lane. If his delivery spot was anything up to that point then he wasn't breaking any laws. The car edged forward before the back of the wagon had cleared the bend. So he couldn't get forward, there was a queue of traffic behind him. Which could be seen before he even came round the bend. The car had 2 vehicles behind her so only 3 needed to reverse a short distance. The wagon driver was showing signs of a stressful situation rather than aggression. And judging by some of the comments there are a lot of drivers that are stubborn/ awkward. So no wonder these problems arise.
I love watching people's reactions when they know they've fu@*ed up. I wonder what his logistics manager thought about this video. I think this fella needs to do a few more CPC courses 🤣
Don't know the area at all. But I'm reading the sign as road on left in 500 yards is where the restriction is in place. I'm an artic driver and can feel the frustration of a lorry driver as many car driver just aren't as spacially aware and can more often than not fit through but things harder than necessary. I don't feel this was the case here as there clearly isn't enough room to get pass so should never attempted it. The driver should of should suggested the car reverse from the start, but that's besides the point getting on like that to a woman with a child in the car is not on. Can only imagine he's met a fair few idiots that day up to that point. Not always a fun job.
I’ve just read a review on google where someone has mentioned this video, someone from SSO Logistics has replied and is basically blaming everything on the driver of the car saying she should of reversed, the clown doesn’t mention the car that’s behind her stopping her from reversing. There’s a good chance the person replying to the review is the angry little driver who thinks he’s big and tough intimidating a woman with a small child. He wouldn’t have behaved the way he did if it had been a bloke behind the wheel
Lorry clearly at fault and yet the commenters are still trying to pin some blame on the cammer. Wouldn't have seen any of that if a bloke was driving... Yeah she nudged in, she probably expected the lorry to just force through the hedge or, shocker, she was just doing what he wanted her to do? What the fuck else was she meant to do? Lorry was the cause of all this. And if you're going to say "reverse hundreds of metres", well watch till the end because she does that after other potential options are exhausted. Not before.
Why do idiots have to make everything about gender. She was following the rules while that idiot driver went down the wrong road. Damaged his vehicle and then had the audacity to blame the camerawoman and shout at her to get out of the way when he shouldn't be there in the first place.
@@Ophanim1000 Yeah it's a shame when other commenters choose to crucify the cammer solely because she's a woman; I'm just highlighting their behaviour
Has probably had a bad day delivering to a farm or something, I do feel sorry for HGV drivers, most car drivers these days have no common sense, well don't tho hun kept nice and calm 👍
Prat of a bloke. Not only does he not know his left from his right, he damages his own truck while making a knob of himself. I wouldn't have backed up. 👏
On the flip side this guy could of been having a really bad day, I've done multi drop in the countryside and a lot of those 7.5 restrictions are a joke, you try to avoid them but sometimes you don't have a choice! You can spend 10 mins pulling over to let a car through get 20 yards up the road and then you meet another vehicle so you have to reverse and start all over again. Some days it can be really stressful so every now and then you might have a little melt down... kudos to that lady though she was an island of calm!
Well done to the Lady driver and also for keeping her son calm. Terrible ordeal - almost bullying. Driver should be sacked. I wouldnt want him representing my company.
Living in the countryside I have come across this situation on many occasions. Generally I don’t mind reversing my car as it makes sense and there is no point getting into a silly standoff situation. But (and this always seems to happen) whilst I am reversing - instead of gradually inching forwards why does the truck driver then push ahead almost right up against the front of my car as I am trying to reverse as quickly but as safely as possible?
Well done to the young lady for keeping her cool..I drive both Coaches and Lorries ..The other week on a narrow lane coming from Wythall i met a low loader in my new Coach ...we both worked together . I could reverse back and The HGV driver pulled his mirrors in and i watched him past me....Took all of five minutes thanked each other and went on our way.
I’m a lgv driving instructor, and I’m afraid he should not have been there in the first place. He clearly pushed his luck on 7.5t restriction. To react like he did was unprofessional and just wrong. I do hope you showed this to his company and the local authorities.
They were both really silly... But as a professional driver he is meant to have more about him. His actions of reversing and waving on were wrong. Her actions of going forward, when she even states that it's not a big enough gap, is also wrong. Instead of him acting the way he did... he, as a professional driver, who understands how his vehicle will operate to the dimensions of the given road, should have gotten out of his cab, assessed the situation and communicated. Instead he acted like a petulant child because HE knocked off his side mirror housing. We all make mistakes, take the wrong road, etc... but how we act on the consequences of those mistakes are vital
Not to sure I see anything wrong with the cam driver. She could have dug in and not budged. And quite within her right. Instead, accommodating and actually friendly considering the idiot in front of her. Managed very well. Very well done to the lady in that situation.
@@anthonyfletcher5060 You see nothing wrong with her action at all? She was pressurised into a situation that she didn't have to be put in. She seen a gap... a gap that she KNEW was too small and proceeded anyways. Are you saying you would have done the same? If you seen a large vehicle coming towards you and the gap was too small to fit through... you would try to drive through it? YOU are in control of your own vehicle. YOU are meant to see that it's operated in a safe manner. If you try to squeeze through gaps that is not there, then YOU are responsible. If in doubt, do nout. The HGV driver is definitely most at fault and an idiot. The cammer, however, could have done better. She did however correct the problem that the HGV driver created. She did well after the initial bad decision. And yes, before you ask, I've made plenty of bad decisions. I learn from them, as should the cammer.
@@EpicFishFingers him pressuring her into doing something makes him a dick. But it's still ultimately down to her to either do it or not. If she was pressured into a manoeuvre whilst he stayed still. Say she hits his truck... Who's at fault in the eyes of the law? I'm not saying that should have to be put in that position... But if you're ever in that position you should do nothing if you don't think you can rectify it by doing so. He is definitely the person ultimately at fault here... But her actions were still silly and something she will probably learn from. He is a bully and far from professional
It would be interesting to see how that lorry looked at the end of that country lane with the overhanging trees etc. At first I thought the guy was having a bad day. That soon changed to he should not be driving a lorry full stop. FairPlay to lady driver, she did nothing wrong.
If he spoke to me in that manner, my keys would have been removed from the Ignition...lets see your reversing an HGV skills pal. No need for that anger, good on her for keeping calm.
Who'd reverse better? This trucker with a box on back or a car with a caravan? The trucker should've took a better route on those narrow roads, and can reverse much better than a car w caravan.
Unfortunately being given drops down lanes which are unsuitable is part of the job. The LGV driver was stressed because he didn’t want to be on that road and had probably been in similar situations earlier. Honestly when you see these signs and have to carry on past them you’re always hoping that 1) the road is totally empty, 2) the house is numbered not just named because finding a named house is a nightmare on its own, 3) that there’s somewhere you can unload without blocking everything, 4) that there’s someone to accept delivery and possibly assist you and finally and most importantly there’s either somewhere to turn around or that there’s an exit at the end of the lane and it’s wide enough to get through. Many’s the times I’ve driven into a lane and prayed I can fit down it let alone pass any oncoming traffic. Always it’s when the unsuitable sign is only facing the oncoming traffic and I see it out of the corner of my eye as I drive in. But by then it’s too late because you can’t just reverse onto a more major road and by the time you’ve jumped out, ran back looked, checked and ran back to the cab and climbed in there could be traffic coming. That LGV driver is just stressed at the situation, his body language says he is. The mirror cover is a clip on piece, no damage done he is showing exasperation. He said “Back up love.” That’s proof he’s not angry with the lady and he didn’t shout at her, he showed her he’s having a tough time. It’s his transport coordinator who has messed his day up.
If he has a delivery down there what do you expect him to do? been in the same situation myself, some drivers will help you out by reversing to a wider spot, but most are self righteous and wont budge.
Maybe, but I'm pretty sure aggressively shouting "back up love", flapping your arms about and breaking your own mirror isnt the most collaborative of ways to find a solution.
The sign shows the restriction starts 500 yards from the sign, and the sign also has an arrow pointing to the left, which means the restriction starts in 500 yards on a road on the left, he could've come out of a road on the right which might not even have any restriction.
Exactly. It seems all the others don't know how to read road signs properly. I passed my car test at 17 and passed my HGV test just 3 years ago and i'm now in my 40's. I remember all the road signs perfectly
I drive 8 wheelers and most other rigids 5 days a week, we all make mistakes that's life but don't be this guy. He shouldn't be driving a mini never mind a curtain side, respect to this amazing woman having to be the professional driver.
Yeah, most women wouldn't do that, and I think he made that assumption from the outset, which is where his anger probably came from. That sort of "oh ffs, this is going take forever to sort out, and i've got this f**king delivery to make, and i'm already running 3 hours late,".
as a resident of partington this particular stretch of the lanes is well known as a tight section. The farmers there won,t give up their land for widening. it is frustrating for us residents wheen trucks get stuck down there as it causes massive traffic deadlock. drivers passing down this stretch dont give up the space readily because of the scratches to their cars off foilage. sat navs are a waste of time.
I would just like to congratulate the woman driving the car with the child in it,absolute class in front of the kid,bravo,well done for not panicking 🙏👏
Unfortunately he finds himself down that road probably not by choice, he's been given a delivery that unfortunately takes him through the weight limit, it has happened to me on a few occasions where you've got no choice because that is his delivery area
Of course... but he didn't need to act like a bellend. He made it seem as though he wanted the car to pass by reversing. All he had to do was get out, in an approachable manner, explain and then try to manage the situation. That guy brings shame on the likes of you who would have probably dealt with it a lot better.
doesnt excuse his behaviour i'm sorry! sh*t happens, and when it does smile, because the alternative is an early grave. What happened next to him I wonder? Did a light turn red just before he got there, sending him into an apoplectic fit? get off the road Mr Meldrew.
You can't by law deliver in a weight restricted area with a too large vehicle unless it says except for access. He would know that if he were a professional and law abiding driver
Whilst there are no excuses for the aggression of the lorry driver, for whatever reason -rightly or wrongly - those vehicles met where they did and needed to pass. There was a car behind the cam car - but there appeared to be 3 (or more) behind the lorry. Even if the vehicles were the same size, I would say the cam car probably should have been the one reversing (they didn't have far to go as we saw). Taking into consideration the size of the lorry, and the fact the road didn't appear any wider behind him than the cam car, I really do think it should have been common sense for them ALL to have spoken calmy to work out the best route. The cam car (and maybe the car behind them) contributed significantly to this situation by refusing to understand the difficulty the lorry driver was actually in (even if he shouldn't have been there). The lorry appeared to have had no more room to go back than the much more manoeuvrable cam car did. Either way, though, this still does NOT excuse the way the lorry driver behaved.
Funny thing is everyone blaming lorry driver but dash camera shows 7.5 ton limit. Saying they would have seen this sign. But what way is the arrow pointing it's not the road he is on is it. Lol
Everyone blaming him mostly because of his unprofessional actions. All drivers can make mistakes... but maybe getting out of cab first... speaking to people. Instead he decided to cause confusion by reversing and waving on. He then caused distress in his actions. He brings shame to professional drivers.
Even if there is a weight limit… they’re generally; “Except for Access”. If the delivery is down there… you have to go. All this video shows is; the ignorance of general road users towards truck drivers. She’s lucky it was a little lorry…
At last a road I regularly use, it has happened to me once fortunately, enough room for the aggrieved victims to do the manoeuvring, the wagon driver is an arsehole, my congratulations to the lady for her exemplary attitude, a lesson to all. I'm sure the drivers employers would have had some words, not reading signs is bad, but to intimidate a lady is ireprehensible .
You obviously no nothing about road signs then. Go and do some research, then come back here and rephrase your comment. As for the words to the lady, i agree, he shouldn't of acted this way
So, weight restriction is within 500 yards of that sign. Is there a farm/ farm building/ yard down that road? Pallet trucks like that, are highly likely to deliver to places like that. The car driver should use the wiper on the rear window, as there was only one car, and she would have had to reverse, probably 200 yards, if that, back to the junction with the sign. Much easier than trying to squeeze down the side, on a bend, where there is either less room to manoeuvre. She has the vision behind, the car behind was more or less following her lead. If you think reversing a vehicle with limited rear view, as in the lorry, is easy, you try it. I have to reverse in the work van, with almost the same blind spot, to let farm vehicles past, then she should have taken the initiative and not try, before the driver had finished.
The sign shows the restriction starts 500 yards from the sign, and the sign also has an arrow pointing to the left, which means the restriction starts in 500 yards on a road on the left, he could've come out of a road on the right which might not even have any restriction.
@@airportdocumentaries The sign she drives past has an arrow to the right, have another look because the second image is a still of the sign the other end of the lane.
No drama in the end was it. The woman backed a few yards to a wider section of the road and let the truck driver pass. You should try the narrow lanes of Devon. Sometimes you have back up hundreds of yards to find a place for two vehicles to pass...

As a driver of 7.5t vehicles for over 30 yrs the first thing I'd have done is jump out and have a quick polite conversation about who was in a better position to back up , everyone reading out the same hymn book , smiling and solving the problem quicker 👍
👍 sounds a plan
Yes a very sensible approach.... Rather than venting your frustrations at a woman in a car with a child who was in the right.
Unfortunately this bloke is just an angry boy and dout he could have a polite conversation
Well said Carl, as been down tight lanes like this in 7.5 tonne wagon, over Halifax way and some near Skipton
Most Lorry drivers want a fight , as there all covered in Tattoos and swear all the time so Smiling and talking is never there first option
I am a lorry driver and he was totally in the wrong to react as he did. Please don't think we are all like him
@Jim Bob unclear. The first sign points right. As I understand it that would be a road off to the right and not the road itself as that would need signs on each side of the road(like speed limit signs etc) not sure why then there is another sign off to the left. Tricky one to say unless you're actually there, either way his attitude stinks
Please Google map the road shown in this video and then assess it again, then comment. Coming from an HGV driver myself, i always try to see from the other side point of view, not one side. If you looked at the other end of the road, you will see why he was down on that road
@Jim Bob Yup, i'm with you. I google mapped the whole road and the sign approaching him is confusing, as it shows a white arrow that was pointing left. That indicates there is a weight limit of 7.5t to road on the left with the distance on it as well. Could of been a new driver. I sympathize with the HGV as the council obviously has no clue on this occasion. I maybe biased as an HGV driver myself, but i always look at it from both sides, as everyone should do, rather than jumping to conclusions

@@hbc222 I agree matey, i really do
Something like this happened to me a few weeks ago in lancs, I'm a new pass on class 1 and the built in truck sat nav took me up a narrow lane. Now where this driver went wrong is he didn't admit fault which I did. As soon as the locals genuinely knew it was a mistake and I was truly apologetic they were amazing in helping me out. Every can make mistakes it's what we learn from them and how we react to them that counts. I'm so sorry that woman with a child felt scared he should have been reassuring to you as it was his cock up. Since found out there was a major road closure in the area and sat nav re routed me. I haven't used that sat nav since
I am a coach driver and I never follow a satnav blind always do some research on the roads and do a idiot run sheet
I never use company microlise or built in sat navs because they often route you down roads you shouldn't be on.
Invest around £350 on a decent truck nav personally I have a Tom Tom 6250 with live traffic but I hear people say Garmin or snooper do good ones for a similar price
Buy yourself a Michelin Road map for HGV's. Never use a sat nav for HGV. Bad move.

He showed aggression in his actions several times to a woman in a car with a small child, all while driving a HGV for a living with the company name on it.

The driver of the car acted like a real lady, stayed calm & coped with an intimidating situation very well. The truck driver was (& probably still is) a right prick.
A link to this clip should be sent to the company, but it's probably them that put pressure on the drivers (still no excuse for his behaviour).
Best resuls would be to send a link to the Traffic Commisioners - they can take immediate & drastic action without having to bother with the ineffective CPS or the courts.
Most HGV drivers are courteous & have a diffecult job to do - fortunatly, cretious drivers like this driver are rare.
Someone has mentioned it in google reviews and the company have the audacity to blame the lady driving
@@TonyL2567 brilliant, well as someone else said, it's probably them putting the pressure on him to deliver. Doesn't excuse him being a total bellend, but if that's the sort of company he's working for...well...
I'm a hgv1 driver and in my earlier career made mistakes and gone down the wrong road and missed signs showing weight restrictions so once committed you have to carry on, but the way that driver went off was well out of order. He is the professional driver supposedly, but shown himself to be a complete dick. I wonder what excuse he gave his bosses for the damage to his vehicle, well handled by the lady driver 👍 and I hope she realises that all lorry drivers aren't like that idiot. You should send the footage to his company as if he had damaged the glass in his mirror then that vehicle should have been recovered or he should have called someone out to fit a new mirror but I bet he just carried on his journey with a possible defective and dangerous mirror with sharp objects protruding. He needs reporting to the council as well, if he hadn't been so aggressive then I would have ignored it but you need to pass your evidence on to the various people so he can be dealt with. We all make mistakes but it's how you deal with them and solve them that counts. 👍
PG9 right there
Yer man buried the rigid into the hedge going in reverse and going forward ! He just lost the head
The bosses probly told him to take the B roads, truck is probably overweight or unroadworthy in some way
Trouble with you class 1 boys is that you've forgotten how it is for us class 2 boys in the jungle keeping it real getting thing to places that you'd faint at !! You stick to the motorways mate and try not to be so judgemental . I think the waggon driver DID keep his cool. Fair enough he probably shouldn't have been there but people have to be able to adapt to road situations. If she'd just reversed up in the first place , then maybe the waggon could have carried on and made his delivery of farm equipment to the local farm. I've been driving HGV class 2 for 25 years.
@@tyrantsoh how could you possibly come to that idea Sherlock Holmes ??
The weight limit is for the weak bridge that goes over Red Brook. The truck shouldn't be down there if the driver acts like a spoiled little brat when things don't go his way. I can understand why he has taken this Partington-Altrincham short cut, but he has got to be prepared to deal with the oncoming traffic in a more professional manner. The lady in the cam car did everything she could and stayed calm. It worked out in the end...

Don’t think the driver was that bad tbf he was pissed he damaged his mirror but wasn’t really anything that bad
I admire her coolness - especially with the child in the back. It would have unnerved a lot of people. My missus would have got out and given the truck driver a right bollocking - and wo betide the dick if he'd answered back...
Not a nice bloke but the weight limit was 500 yeard ahead, there must be a reason for that! Maybe some units up there?
The guy was being a bit of a dick. When driving down country lanes you know this can happen and be prepared to deal with it, especially in a larger vehicle. He could see there was a car behind the camera car who wasn't reversing either. The camera driver did well and stayed calm as the truck driver clearly was trying to intimidate. Situation just needed patience and common sense.
@cookiemonster I don't disagree. Of course it is safer and easier. But it didn't call for the truck driver to have zero patience and to have a strop at having to wait a bit. There was a second car behind the camera car who needed to reverse first and at the start they weren't moving back, therefore there was nothing the camera car could initially do. Waving arms and giving intimidating looks isn't going to help. And then driving unnecessary quickly towards the car as they were reversing at the end was a deliberate act of intimidation and was uncalled for.
@cookiemonster then surely he should be used to it! It's a narrow lane and he's in a truck, if ant driver on such roads can't understand that inevitably you'll have to wait/reverse then hand the license over or use another route. But referring to this one video which is what we are here for, he was being a dick and just needed to take a breather. He wouldn't have damaged the truck then.
@cookiemonster firstly, and to repeat myself, I don't expect the trucker to reverse, I've clearly said that. Second I don't get your first sentence. How is the car driver responsible for the truck driver having a strop? It is the strop that has got this video uploaded and his truck damaged. I seem to be repeating myself but the trucker just needed to wait a bit and give people a moment, and if the car drivers still don't reverse then a simple explaination (which shouldn't be needed) to the cars that they needed to reverse would have resolved it in most situations. Only if they refused to move would I'd defend his behaviour but they just didn't have a chance before the trucker started getting all stroppy.
@cookiemonster lol. Who shouldnt be there is the person who should be reversing.
Just like going into oncoming traffic lane to pass parked cars. If you meet oncomin gtraffic lane when you are crossing the white line and they are not, even if you are driving an artic, reverse. Your own fault for messing it up, be responsible and accountable.
@cookiemonster the problem is he shouldn't have been on that road in the first place.
Reported the plate to the company and sent them a link to this video 2 weeks ago. Didn't think I would get a response.
Just heard back today. The driver has been reprimanded and was demoted from driving duties for improper road conduct. It sounds like he's had a track record of poor driving. I can forward the email on request to anyone who wants to see.
Safe to say he won't be harassing anyone else anytime soon.
Good to hear
Glad to hear that but sounds like he should just have sacked if he has done it before but well done to you for doing that
Good 1 less tool on the road
I’m a lorry driver myself and I can say he’s a terrible driver and probably wanted to make a short cut by going down a weight restriction. Well done to you for being so calm! It’s usually the car that’s in the wrong but this time not at all
You reckon they took him off? You're more gullible than we thought. The email you got back is standard wide across the industry. Until you know what goes on in transport, you have no idea. lol
As a HGV driver with 26 years experience, I have to question who gave that weapon a licence. Disgusting behaviour 😤 ( the truck driver that is)
The answer is don’t become a truck driver hahaha
got to say amazing driving from the driver in this video and an incredible ability to stay so calm in this situation
I'm a lorry Driver, live locally and seen this happen many times. The lorry diver is at fault for ignoring the weight restrictions and his reaction is due to him knowing he has done wrong by going down this cut though. And also the pressure from the industry to be on time
How do you know he wasn't making a delivery down there?
Cos it's a 7 1/2 ton limit without signs saying except for access. Should never have been down there in the first place
@@justinfletcher9670 how do you know he was not making a delivery?
Regardless of doing a delivery or not the sign clearly states 7.5 ton
With no except for access signage. So therefore he shouldn't be down there. It's down to his company to put it the right vehicle. I did this a few years ago and got fined for it and was told those reasons above from the commercial road policing unit.
@@justinfletcher9670 no they can deliver down roads like that how the hell do you think farmers and such get their inventory 😂😂
He was totally at fault, aggressive because he knew he was in the wrong. Good on the lady driver, for keeping her cool and not get intimidated by his poor driving skills. Being a male professional driver I know things can get difficult at times on the road, and we don’t always see the other person’s view . But what a wan@er.
For the size of vehicles vs radius of bend, I’d have had a go at swapping sides on the road (lorry near barrier, cars on outside). Much like achieved when reversed.

@@gt3911 very true :)
100% right. The car would get in much tighter albeit on the wrong side
Can I just say as a hgv driver these multi drop company's send you down some pretty tight country lanes where you have no choice but to go. and trust me its the most stressful time any driver can have as the fear of getting stuck down these country lanes.. it doesn't help in these situations when car drivers just sit there and look at you when you cant back up. I can see the stress in that driver as he really doesn't want to be in that situation. These multi drop companies/planners don't give a shit as long as it looks on good on them to get the deliveries done.
Exactly right ….,I felt that drivers pain
He was bit of a arsehole though. “I’m bigger than you, that means I’ve got right of way” type attitude. Maybe he should have more patience instead of forcing his way through
@@DazzaYT: Matter of fact, a "sorry, could you back up a bit? It's difficult for me to see what's behind me, as you can guess" would have done. Most people would have more sympathy and from at least the short perception I have of the cammer, she would have accepted reasonably (even if maybe she might be moaning inside about the lorry being there!)
Poor excuses 😪 the signs are there on the roads !!! Hopefully the company get to see the video👍🏻
@@Studmuffin666: The company seeing the video won't change anything if OP's post is valid, if anything they'll swap out the driver here with another asshole who'll still disregard those signs. Many companies have a habit of getting their staff to do shady things ("you best meet these targets and routes, or else"), without them accepting liability when things go wrong ("we didn't tell him to do that, we have a policy against that. We'll dismiss him, don't worry"). A whole separate topic but that's why company culture is so important, while I don't condone taking your misery out on others, you can't be surprised when people do that after others make them miserable.
I’d have been pissing myself laughing at him, then I’d ask him if he wants me to move it for him 😂
You kept your cool and under those circumstances your manoeuvring was spot on 👍
As for the Truck Driver not a very good representation for a professional driver 😯
Maybe contact the haulage company and request they view this video, recommend driver training, I've been in this situation and I was driving a 7.5ton truck, had I have seen the signs for 7.5 and knowing how bad it can get for a 7,.5 there is no way I would proceed this route in anything bigger, driver is only angry at his own incompetent decision, its clearly time he gets a job he is capable of, unless of course he's delivering within the 7.5ton limit therefore his transport manager is to blame, eather way send in this video to his company as his behaviour is alarming as there is a young child in the car.
SSO Logistics are backing their driver and trying to pass on the blame to the female driver of the car. Check out their website google reviews
@@1t_wasnt_me I guess it's OK to display anger and project fear that you're on the edge of loosing control based on a normal incident that happens to many drivers, if this company backs this driver it doesn't actually surprise me as many company's don't care about other people unless you're one of their customers, the video speaks for itself, did the female driver display bad and potentially threatening behaviour, no of course not just the apparent professional driver did ,I wonder what would happen if a collision had taken place, maybe his anger becomes violence, it was clear he lost his temper and became threatening by loosing control ,he's amateur driver and if his company is trying to put blame on anyone on this planet for him to lose control over something that takes place with many drivers then their amateurs too ,I'm certain he would have maintained his display of anger and potentially threatening behaviour if the lady driver was police .
I honestly admire the patience of this noble lady with such an aggressive driver. Salute to you Madam from Pakistan.
Well, I'm sorry to say this but, I passed my HGV at the age of 18 in the forces some 43 years ago and that driver is an idiot. You follow the roads signs, they are there for a reason and that vehicle was well past 7.5 tons. I do agree that sat-navs do act upon occasions but, as a driver, you should know the height, width, and length of your vehicle. and if your truck is too big for the road you stop as soon as you see the sign not go past it. Signs are typically at the entry to a road as was clearly seen in this video. He is lucky that a vehicle with blues and twos was not going the other way. Sounds quite petty I Know but if an ambulance could not get to a destination and a person died what would that driver get charged with? makes you think!
Sorry mate but that’s only got 2 axles. That’s a 7.5t box lorry.

Times have changed Andy.
In situations like this too many lgv drivers think they can bully people with their size and weight.
As a driver of Large vehicles I must say that in my experience I learned that loosing your cool makes only things worse. 😎
I've just passed my HGV and sometimes signs get missed or wrong turns get taken which can put you where you're not supposed to be. Attitude however, is something that you always have control over and this guy had a stinking attitude. I would suspect he knew he was on the wrong road and was naffed off about that and with himself for that but some people just can't accept they are in the wrong and instead push their frustations and anger onto others blaming them instead. His issue not yours. If it had been been me, I would have got out and come and spoken to you, apologised and then duscussed the best way to resolve the problem. Nice and friendly :)
the joys of driving the back lanes
Normally I try to defend the driver somehow but he’s left me with nothing
This guy shouldn’t be allowed near big things
To be fair looking for businesses when your a HGV driver sometimes leads you into precarious roads and this happens.
Also well done to the female driver with the cam.
But passing 7.5t weight limit signs should be a real clue about whether you're going to make it.

As a hgv driver myself I have to admit the lorry driver is at fault here because it’s a “Mandatory weight limit” the only time you can drive into a weight limit is when the signs say below “Except For Access” and “Except For Loading” and even then you can only go through those IF you need access to an address that’s only accessible within the weight limit!
It doesn’t have to say except for access. I thought it did, but those words don’t have to be on the sign, honestly

I have driven a class 1 on these roads before and met a school coach. I had to reverse 1/2 mile with cars behind. Horrible horrible scenarios
I've been a truck delivery driver for 10 years, he was wrong to go down that country road whether he saw a sign or not with a truck that big but With the amount of cars on the road these days and the stress of trying to do countless deliveries in short time, it doesn't surprise me the way some people act bearing in mine that we all think we have right of way in most given situations.
It is all very well to say he shouldn't have gone down that lane but that could have been where the delivery or collection was.
@@iantaylor6538 true he would of had no choice, but then the company should of chosen a smaller truck, a five tone truck would be able to deliver a couple of tone if needed if he was delivering to a company (I don't think it would of been down a country lane though, never seen it before, company's use major roads to there entrance even in the countryside) if the road was 7.5 tone only and the delivery point was on that road, I learned to check my route before driving there not just following a satnav (not saying I didn't come into difficultys) , which we all know cause problems.
You handled that brilliant and didn’t alarm your child 👏👏
Handled it brilliantly? I think not, why did she even attempt to squeeze by it was obvious there wasn't room. And the fact there was a child in the car is neither here nor there.
The lady driving did a great job. The lorry driver is a knob
The weight restriction was 500yards down the lane. If his delivery spot was anything up to that point then he wasn't breaking any laws.
The car edged forward before the back of the wagon had cleared the bend. So he couldn't get forward, there was a queue of traffic behind him. Which could be seen before he even came round the bend.
The car had 2 vehicles behind her so only 3 needed to reverse a short distance.
The wagon driver was showing signs of a stressful situation rather than aggression.
And judging by some of the comments there are a lot of drivers that are stubborn/ awkward. So no wonder these problems arise.
As a Hgv driver I would just ask the car to back up and if they didn't just sit and wait till they give up.
I love watching people's reactions when they know they've fu@*ed up. I wonder what his logistics manager thought about this video. I think this fella needs to do a few more CPC courses 🤣
Or perhaps send a more appropriate vehicle down such roads in future.
Don't know the area at all. But I'm reading the sign as road on left in 500 yards is where the restriction is in place. I'm an artic driver and can feel the frustration of a lorry driver as many car driver just aren't as spacially aware and can more often than not fit through but things harder than necessary. I don't feel this was the case here as there clearly isn't enough room to get pass so should never attempted it. The driver should of should suggested the car reverse from the start, but that's besides the point getting on like that to a woman with a child in the car is not on. Can only imagine he's met a fair few idiots that day up to that point. Not always a fun job.
Should have. Should've.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 thanks for taking the time to highlight that. Very worthwhile.
I’ve just read a review on google where someone has mentioned this video, someone from SSO Logistics has replied and is basically blaming everything on the driver of the car saying she should of reversed, the clown doesn’t mention the car that’s behind her stopping her from reversing. There’s a good chance the person replying to the review is the angry little driver who thinks he’s big and tough intimidating a woman with a small child. He wouldn’t have behaved the way he did if it had been a bloke behind the wheel
100% correct
Should have. Should've.
Lorry clearly at fault and yet the commenters are still trying to pin some blame on the cammer. Wouldn't have seen any of that if a bloke was driving...
Yeah she nudged in, she probably expected the lorry to just force through the hedge or, shocker, she was just doing what he wanted her to do? What the fuck else was she meant to do?
Lorry was the cause of all this.
And if you're going to say "reverse hundreds of metres", well watch till the end because she does that after other potential options are exhausted. Not before.
Woman supporter
Why do idiots have to make everything about gender. She was following the rules while that idiot driver went down the wrong road. Damaged his vehicle and then had the audacity to blame the camerawoman and shout at her to get out of the way when he shouldn't be there in the first place.
she was at fault for NOR REVERSING PROMPTLY and playing chicken with a huge lorry
@@esecallum Nope
@@Ophanim1000 Yeah it's a shame when other commenters choose to crucify the cammer solely because she's a woman; I'm just highlighting their behaviour
Has probably had a bad day delivering to a farm or something, I do feel sorry for HGV drivers, most car drivers these days have no common sense, well don't tho hun kept nice and calm 👍
Nope. No farms here.
Prat of a bloke. Not only does he not know his left from his right, he damages his own truck while making a knob of himself. I wouldn't have backed up. 👏
The road sign indicates a side road, not the road that is being used. Single decker buses even use this route.
Look at the dashcam footage of the sign instead of the freeze frame of it. I think you'll find the weight restriction is for the road being used.
On the flip side this guy could of been having a really bad day, I've done multi drop in the countryside and a lot of those 7.5 restrictions are a joke, you try to avoid them but sometimes you don't have a choice! You can spend 10 mins pulling over to let a car through get 20 yards up the road and then you meet another vehicle so you have to reverse and start all over again. Some days it can be really stressful so every now and then you might have a little melt down... kudos to that lady though she was an island of calm!
No excuse it wasnt the other drivers fault.
Could have. Could've.
I bet he drives a BMW for his personal car at home....
Well done to the Lady driver and also for keeping her son calm. Terrible ordeal - almost bullying. Driver should be sacked. I wouldnt want him representing my company.
Living in the countryside I have come across this situation on many occasions. Generally I don’t mind reversing my car as it makes sense and there is no point getting into a silly standoff situation. But (and this always seems to happen) whilst I am reversing - instead of gradually inching forwards why does the truck driver then push ahead almost right up against the front of my car as I am trying to reverse as quickly but as safely as possible?
the Van is clearly Signwritten....... 1 copy of the video to his employers and one copy to the police ref operation Spot
so limit is 7.5 tonnes ,is that a 12 tonne lorry ? looks longer than a box lorry
It said 18t on the vehicle specs. Not sure how accurate that is though
@@DashCamNetwork ah OK cool. Hard to tell in videos and they can look same size between 12 and 18 😁
Well done to the young lady for keeping her cool..I drive both Coaches and Lorries ..The other week on a narrow lane coming from Wythall i met a low loader in my new Coach ...we both worked together . I could reverse back and The HGV driver pulled his mirrors in and i watched him past me....Took all of five minutes thanked each other and went on our way.
I’m a lgv driving instructor, and I’m afraid he should not have been there in the first place.
He clearly pushed his luck on 7.5t restriction.
To react like he did was unprofessional and just wrong.
I do hope you showed this to his company and the local authorities.
They were both really silly... But as a professional driver he is meant to have more about him. His actions of reversing and waving on were wrong. Her actions of going forward, when she even states that it's not a big enough gap, is also wrong. Instead of him acting the way he did... he, as a professional driver, who understands how his vehicle will operate to the dimensions of the given road, should have gotten out of his cab, assessed the situation and communicated. Instead he acted like a petulant child because HE knocked off his side mirror housing. We all make mistakes, take the wrong road, etc... but how we act on the consequences of those mistakes are vital
Not to sure I see anything wrong with the cam driver. She could have dug in and not budged. And quite within her right.
Instead, accommodating and actually friendly considering the idiot in front of her. Managed very well. Very well done to the lady in that situation.
@@anthonyfletcher5060 You see nothing wrong with her action at all? She was pressurised into a situation that she didn't have to be put in. She seen a gap... a gap that she KNEW was too small and proceeded anyways. Are you saying you would have done the same? If you seen a large vehicle coming towards you and the gap was too small to fit through... you would try to drive through it? YOU are in control of your own vehicle. YOU are meant to see that it's operated in a safe manner. If you try to squeeze through gaps that is not there, then YOU are responsible. If in doubt, do nout. The HGV driver is definitely most at fault and an idiot. The cammer, however, could have done better. She did however correct the problem that the HGV driver created. She did well after the initial bad decision. And yes, before you ask, I've made plenty of bad decisions. I learn from them, as should the cammer.
@@anthonyowens3909 Him pressuring her into doing something is also his fault, not hers
@@EpicFishFingers him pressuring her into doing something makes him a dick. But it's still ultimately down to her to either do it or not. If she was pressured into a manoeuvre whilst he stayed still. Say she hits his truck... Who's at fault in the eyes of the law? I'm not saying that should have to be put in that position... But if you're ever in that position you should do nothing if you don't think you can rectify it by doing so. He is definitely the person ultimately at fault here... But her actions were still silly and something she will probably learn from. He is a bully and far from professional
He should be fined and banned he ignored a 7.5 ton sign and the lady did nothing wrong but meet a idiot in a truck bless her
It would be interesting to see how that lorry looked at the end of that country lane with the overhanging trees etc. At first I thought the guy was having a bad day. That soon changed to he should not be driving a lorry full stop. FairPlay to lady driver, she did nothing wrong.
If he spoke to me in that manner, my keys would have been removed from the Ignition...lets see your reversing an HGV skills pal. No need for that anger, good on her for keeping calm.
Who'd reverse better? This trucker with a box on back or a car with a caravan?
The trucker should've took a better route on those narrow roads, and can reverse much better than a car w caravan.
there was no weight limit on this road, but a side road off this road indicated by the left pointing arrow.
Imagine two lorry drivers driving opposite sides of the road trying to pass one another now that would be food for thought.
Does happen. People forget sometimes we are forced down these type of roads by road closures.
Seeing as it's a restricted weight zone it shouldn't happen.
"Where does he want me to go, bub?" is such voice of calm
Unfortunately being given drops down lanes which are unsuitable is part of the job. The LGV driver was stressed because he didn’t want to be on that road and had probably been in similar situations earlier. Honestly when you see these signs and have to carry on past them you’re always hoping that 1) the road is totally empty, 2) the house is numbered not just named because finding a named house is a nightmare on its own, 3) that there’s somewhere you can unload without blocking everything, 4) that there’s someone to accept delivery and possibly assist you and finally and most importantly there’s either somewhere to turn around or that there’s an exit at the end of the lane and it’s wide enough to get through.
Many’s the times I’ve driven into a lane and prayed I can fit down it let alone pass any oncoming traffic. Always it’s when the unsuitable sign is only facing the oncoming traffic and I see it out of the corner of my eye as I drive in. But by then it’s too late because you can’t just reverse onto a more major road and by the time you’ve jumped out, ran back looked, checked and ran back to the cab and climbed in there could be traffic coming.
That LGV driver is just stressed at the situation, his body language says he is. The mirror cover is a clip on piece, no damage done he is showing exasperation. He said “Back up love.” That’s proof he’s not angry with the lady and he didn’t shout at her, he showed her he’s having a tough time. It’s his transport coordinator who has messed his day up.
Angry little man in a big truck
If he has a delivery down there what do you expect him to do? been in the same situation myself, some drivers will help you out by reversing to a wider spot, but most are self righteous and wont budge.
Maybe, but I'm pretty sure aggressively shouting "back up love", flapping your arms about and breaking your own mirror isnt the most collaborative of ways to find a solution.
@@cafe405 Its called frustration, it drives you mad at times.
Hey Jimmy there's nothing to deliver too down that lane, comes out on to an estate that has a main road leading towards Carrington
@@spinaway then he shouldntbe a driver
Drivers blindly follow the sat-nav without using any common sense, see it all the time.
And she does reverse up to bend loads of room to pass 👍
The sign shows the restriction starts 500 yards from the sign, and the sign also has an arrow pointing to the left, which means the restriction starts in 500 yards on a road on the left, he could've come out of a road on the right which might not even have any restriction.
Exactly. It seems all the others don't know how to read road signs properly. I passed my car test at 17 and passed my HGV test just 3 years ago and i'm now in my 40's. I remember all the road signs perfectly
There is a perfect alternative route of about a mile for this road. I know because I live here.
I drive 8 wheelers and most other rigids 5 days a week, we all make mistakes that's life but don't be this guy. He shouldn't be driving a mini never mind a curtain side, respect to this amazing woman having to be the professional driver.
Anyone have an address were I can go talk to this guy about his driving work or home I'm easy thanks in advance
Ahhh, the joys of driving for a living.....🤢
I'd always try and reverse back for the lorry if it was difficult for the lorry to reverse...
Yeah, most women wouldn't do that, and I think he made that assumption from the outset, which is where his anger probably came from. That sort of "oh ffs, this is going take forever to sort out, and i've got this f**king delivery to make, and i'm already running 3 hours late,".
as a resident of partington this particular stretch of the lanes is well known as a tight section.
The farmers there won,t give up their land for widening.
it is frustrating for us residents wheen trucks get stuck down there as it causes massive traffic deadlock.
drivers passing down this stretch dont give up the space readily because of the scratches to their cars off foilage.
sat navs are a waste of time.
I would just like to congratulate the woman driving the car with the child in it,absolute class in front of the kid,bravo,well done for not panicking 🙏👏
if i was him i would stop driving before he has a stroke
Unfortunately he finds himself down that road probably not by choice, he's been given a delivery that unfortunately takes him through the weight limit, it has happened to me on a few occasions where you've got no choice because that is his delivery area
Of course... but he didn't need to act like a bellend. He made it seem as though he wanted the car to pass by reversing. All he had to do was get out, in an approachable manner, explain and then try to manage the situation. That guy brings shame on the likes of you who would have probably dealt with it a lot better.
No excuse for breaking laws
doesnt excuse his behaviour i'm sorry! sh*t happens, and when it does smile, because the alternative is an early grave. What happened next to him I wonder? Did a light turn red just before he got there, sending him into an apoplectic fit?
get off the road Mr Meldrew.
You can't by law deliver in a weight restricted area with a too large vehicle unless it says except for access. He would know that if he were a professional and law abiding driver
Then take the 1 mile detour.
He was following the gps on gadget. It said it's the shortest route to hell 😂
Whilst there are no excuses for the aggression of the lorry driver, for whatever reason -rightly or wrongly - those vehicles met where they did and needed to pass. There was a car behind the cam car - but there appeared to be 3 (or more) behind the lorry. Even if the vehicles were the same size, I would say the cam car probably should have been the one reversing (they didn't have far to go as we saw).
Taking into consideration the size of the lorry, and the fact the road didn't appear any wider behind him than the cam car, I really do think it should have been common sense for them ALL to have spoken calmy to work out the best route. The cam car (and maybe the car behind them) contributed significantly to this situation by refusing to understand the difficulty the lorry driver was actually in (even if he shouldn't have been there). The lorry appeared to have had no more room to go back than the much more manoeuvrable cam car did. Either way, though, this still does NOT excuse the way the lorry driver behaved.
As a lorry driver, fair play to the car driver for keeping cool, lorry driver was a nob, angry at other people for something that is his fault🤣
Most lorry drivers are nobs .....
@@vanmarko6654 most car drivers are nobs but thats the circle of life😂
Funny thing is everyone blaming lorry driver but dash camera shows 7.5 ton limit. Saying they would have seen this sign. But what way is the arrow pointing it's not the road he is on is it. Lol
Everyone blaming him mostly because of his unprofessional actions. All drivers can make mistakes... but maybe getting out of cab first... speaking to people. Instead he decided to cause confusion by reversing and waving on. He then caused distress in his actions. He brings shame to professional drivers.
Yes it is the road he's on. The first signs on the cammers side the still photo at the end is on the hgv's side. Lol 🤦♀️
At first glance I thought his number plate was BE11 END🤣🤣🤣
Should have offered the man a tissue😢 cry baby😭 hats off the lady driving👍🏾 she handled that like a professional
And keeps showing that sign like she's right. It says weight limit 7.5t. that's a 7.5t lorry. So it's fine lol
Even if there is a weight limit… they’re generally; “Except for Access”. If the delivery is down there… you have to go. All this video shows is; the ignorance of general road users towards truck drivers. She’s lucky it was a little lorry…
@@andydudley7011 yup. It's a weight limit and not a restriction anyway and for a different road completely hahaha
looks like a 12 tonne to me ,7.5 tonne is a short box lorry
@cookiemonster uploader confirmed this route has no residential or commercial zones needed for delivery ,drivers fault
That lorry is more then 7.5 ton.that was more like 13/18 tons
At last a road I regularly use, it has happened to me once fortunately, enough room for the aggrieved victims to do the manoeuvring, the wagon driver is an arsehole, my congratulations to the lady for her exemplary attitude, a lesson to all.
I'm sure the drivers employers would have had some words, not reading signs is bad, but to intimidate a lady is ireprehensible .
You obviously no nothing about road signs then. Go and do some research, then come back here and rephrase your comment. As for the words to the lady, i agree, he shouldn't of acted this way
@@gary63693 The sign on the road was a 7.5T limit, so ofc OP knew about the signs, so only truckers fault for ignoring them
@@nekotranslates It was pointing left
Is there a particular reason for the big white arrow pointing left at the bottom of the weight limit sign?
That sign means there is a left turn 500yds ahead with a weight restriction on it
BAD DRIVING BY THE LORRY DRIVER THE LADY DRIVER DID NOTHING WRONG AND HANDLED IT VERY WELL
So, weight restriction is within 500 yards of that sign. Is there a farm/ farm building/ yard down that road? Pallet trucks like that, are highly likely to deliver to places like that. The car driver should use the wiper on the rear window, as there was only one car, and she would have had to reverse, probably 200 yards, if that, back to the junction with the sign. Much easier than trying to squeeze down the side, on a bend, where there is either less room to manoeuvre. She has the vision behind, the car behind was more or less following her lead. If you think reversing a vehicle with limited rear view, as in the lorry, is easy, you try it. I have to reverse in the work van, with almost the same blind spot, to let farm vehicles past, then she should have taken the initiative and not try, before the driver had finished.
Not every model car has a rear wiper..coupes don’t hatchbacks usually do.
The sign shows the restriction starts 500 yards from the sign, and the sign also has an arrow pointing to the left, which means the restriction starts in 500 yards on a road on the left, he could've come out of a road on the right which might not even have any restriction.
@@airportdocumentaries The sign she drives past has an arrow to the right, have another look because the second image is a still of the sign the other end of the lane.
No. There's nothing down this road.
🎶 If it don't fit, don't force it 🎶
No drama in the end was it. The woman backed a few yards to a wider section of the road and let the truck driver pass.
You should try the narrow lanes of Devon. Sometimes you have back up hundreds of yards to find a place for two vehicles to pass...
That 7.5t sign relates to the left hand turn road, not the one you are all driving on.....
Give a guy a break, or try driving a truck!
It's for the road the lorry was on. There is a small bridge, hence the restriction.
