Ahh good old London built in the days of a horse and cart and most transport planners think "well the truck has horse power so no problem" nice video and fun to watch but a journey I would'nt want to do, give that one to the spare agency driver.
Thanks, i later learnt that every other truck who'd ever been there reversed back out, they'd never seen someone even attempt to get around that tight corner before!
sorry mate but after reading your reply I have got to laugh, had a similar situation on my first day trucking went to a hospital drove in struggled like fuck trying to back around cars and the building hit the truck on a post and did this with a guy watching me all the time when I finally got on the bay the guy came up to me and said "everybody else reverses in" still it's all a game and no one got hurt and I bet you will never forget that delivery and thanks to your camera it's one you and your family can share in the future, all the best.
0:44 "Genius place to park" - that's a bit unfair as they're obviously loading and have a job to do same as you, and let you through almost immediately. Great video otherwise though! I always enjoyed squeezing through city streets in my trucking days.
