Best advice I was ever taught by my instructor when I was a cocky new driver all those years ago was “if you can’t see what’s there, stop, get out and look”.

Hey mate am on an older video of yours here absolutely incredible driving mate am baffled how you reversed a rig that size out that one lane street down that road well done

Jesus. Hard work that. I would be concerned going back out forward. Well done.

Don’t know why this was recommended to me, but I enjoyed it!

If I can get to this level, I'll have achieved something. Top notch sir 👌

Wow !.. rite good reverse my man. No way I would of even attempted that. Stay well Borathea my man!

A great vlogg as always my mt I've followed u from day 1 with the old channel and the new 1 now don't forget mirrors lol keep up the good work buddy keep on trucking 🚚 mt 💯👌👍👍👍

Your a brave man, going to that part of town.

I love the poves buddy tha knows lol well done brother 💯👌👍👍

Stressful reverse - got it dun though with no collateral damage - You should do a reverse 'tips' video as it is without doubt the most difficult aspect of arctic' driving

Great driving there and I would be worried about getting out!

Don't care how many shunts I do as long as I don't hit anything . Some days straight in others not so great . Nice vlog.

That was a top class reverse in the DAF XF Barry.

Blindside??? You went in on your goodside!!😆😆💪👍

It's a knack. You either have or don't. Practice makes perfect.

Should get yourself one of those wireless reverse cameras, easy to put on and easy to take off, screen is inside, makes reversing 3 times easier because you can actually see where shits going.

Nice area! looks like it's needs knocking down not more shite being put up! Nice moves btw skills!!

My dad this in a 40 ft at smithfield Market London..was amazing x

Nice one Barry lad … always if in doubt.. get out …. I had one our our lads out with me for five days and I said to him to try and blind side is much as you can … he is out on his own and doing fantastic… drive safe pal

I had enough years of doing that in and out of London 5/6 dayia week.I just dont need the stress and agro of it anymore i stick to night trunking these days its much easier.But you're absolutely right if in doubt get out and have a look.And as good old Ralph at Stockport HGV training said to me all those years ago DON'T BE A CU#T JUST GIVE IT A SHUNT!!!🤣🤣

Nice driving. Does an experienced bandsman make a huge difference?

Been doing depot to depot since passing 2 years ago im gonna be fucked if i get sacked as i would not even attempt this, hat off to you.

Stressed just whatching 😮

Each tricky reverse is one for the cv pal

Very tight barry, you can do it

ive just past my hgv 2 no way could i attempt that one

Brilliant reverse although should never be sent to those places in an artic truck

I would have switched that bloody reverse horn off.

Apologies if I'm dense, but what is a "shunt" that you're trying to avoid?

What was the total length of your unit and trailer?

That's NOT , NOT on your blind side , (that's a gift to some blind side reverses Some Men I know have HAD to do) as one of them Men would say , "only saying" 🤣

I'm sweating watching....😓

Ridiculous that they even send you down there. You'd have enough trouble with a rigid body through there...

nothing is to difficult for u buddy

10 shunts better than one bump... fooking hate filling in forms

Where is the tight alley ???

There is no way I would attempt that - I would not place ANY wheel(s) on that pavement - look at the old houses, they may very well have coal cellars under/near the pavement & it also looks like the cable companies have been digging & we all know how good they are at backfilling. All the time us HGV drivers continue to "manage" things are hardly likely to improve.
