    And the fact he's chosen to do the manoeuvre there, means the road probably gets more restrictions further along, I feel for him, as a HGV driver, it can be almost impossible to see the sign you need to, in the sea of signs for everything else, weight limits, width restrictions, height restrictions, signs for hours, and the one you need to see is the last one you'll see 👀......, just after you've made a turn you shouldn't have.....

    As a professional driver since age 21, I can honestly say we’ve all been in these situations. It’s an occupational hazard, when you are in towns and villages that you’ve never been to before. It’s how you learn from them that makes you become an “experienced driver” Anyone that says they haven’t are either bullshitting or only ever driven something as large as a van.

It's why you see a lot of them bashed up 😂
