@@stratoreyener461when you consider the length of the wrecker, which it's carrying a tractor+ trailer ('rig' for USA viewers) that's not far short of an Australian road train. I have towed failed buses using a bus converted into a wrecker and that's 80ft. Not as big as this, but not bending in as many places, so can be a right sod for sharp turns (as most bus depots seem to have right by their entrance)

Wow! That’s a lot of turns. I would have been lost after the first two. Of course the fact that (for me) you’re driving on the wrong side of the road wouldn’t help! I didn’t see you put safety chairs on. Are they not required in the UK? 🇨🇦 Hi from Canada!

​@@stratoreyener461 also don't forget that most of the roads in Australia and America are long and straight. You could drive for hours on a straight road without seeing any cars ideal for road trains and similar. Whereas in the UK and Europe the roads are twisty and narrow. A challenge driving a big rig/wrecker let alone a lorry 🚛

always impressive how well heavy recovery drivers can thread through traffic .. as for Steve moving his head so much .. no wonder , you need to be constantly trying to work out what everyone else is about to do .. crack on

A really enjoyable video to watch. Thanks very much Steve. I often notice that UK HGV drivers are much better at keeping in their lane, e.g. on a roundabout, than car drivers who often can't seem to follow the lines. You manage to keep in the lanes even when towing unless you are deliberately taking up two lanes for safety. Excellent commentary as usual.

I like to see how methodically you go about connecting up to what you need to tow. It takes year’s of experience to be that professional. A lot of breakdown drivers don’t like to be watched. I’m sure you’re checking a lot more things while telling us what you are doing. And when are drivers going to give those who are required to work in the road a 1.5 metre gap?
