    It's mad watching your videos again, I first started watching you about 7 years ago because I was thinking of doing my hgv license and you was the first video that popped up and I ended up getting hooked, it made me proper excited to be a hgv driver.. I've now been driving hgv's for 6 years and that excitement has disappeared and now its just a job but still a good job, however watching your videos again brings back the feelings of how excited I was to get into the industry and learn from your videos, I used to love when you uploaded a new video my missus used to buzz off me.. keep enjoying it jay.. cheers mate

    Always something with a DAF! Last Friday we had to put a new exhaust after treatment system ecu was just under 7k Australian then I was taking it back today because it had another after treatment fault because the techs never re connected the AdBlue injector and what happens it shit a clutch $6750+GST nearly 14k and it hasn’t turned a wheel as soon as I can trade these 2 we have I will never again and to top it off the thing tried to lurch into an intersection when it decided today is the day for the clutch and being an auto pulled on the park brakes foot hard on the brake so I didn’t end up on traffic it stalled and had to tow it to the dealer so probably another $500 for a 3km tow!!! I’d rather a clapped out volvo then ever have another DAF

    This is the problem with all this automation and big screens in cars, it removes people’s brains and disengages them from actually driving. People becoming too reliant on the cars warning and safety systems they become complacent, especially young drivers with no to little experience. Try not to lose your cool with others though, you predicted the situation and there’s no point getting stressed as ultimately it hurts you more. I do of course understand the frustration. Have a good one.
