Just to add. The house was badly damaged and can be seen on streetview here for your reference. maps.app.goo.gl/HXSWbG22naVhiY8Y9 Video was originally uploaded for insurance purposes, hence the sloppy *entire lack of* editing.

Had the balls to knock the door. Fair play. Honest man.

Surely most HGV drivers can sympathize with this driver..... We have all been caught in tricky situations,like this one just being one of the many examples!!..... sometimes timely delivery and returning the lorry undamaged seems like a gamble....

Number one rule he broke. Get out the bleeding truck and have a look! He never left his cab!

Totally relate to this, especially when I was a new driver. Got lost, no help from control, seen red and done something risky. Park up and take a minute, although it looks difficult without blocking the road. 😢😢

Never panic it’s a waste of energy and clutch lol - just look for the simplest way out .poor guy but he made the turn 😂 well done son .

Only Way Out of that was to Reverse back out and do a Blind Reverse back over the Bridge and then Reverse onto the Roundabout, Drivers will Stop or Ask for Assistance.

Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. If you're in a spot like this and an extra pair of eyes would help get out safely then find them. Sure that may seem embarrasing but it's better than wrecking the truck or the street.

Lesson learned at least he tried to contact the householder so full marks for that ❤

As a class 1 driver myself I feel for you buddy who ever you are. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and refuse a delivery or park up and walk it get a better look. Could have avoided a damaged house and nearly ripping the whole trailer off. Hope he’s still driving because he gave it a good attempt fair does 😂

reverse back the way you came is an option

GOAL never crossed his mind what a cowboy! not to mention the not suitable for HGV sign just off the round about on the way in

As a new pass this situation would have my arse twitching like a rabbits nose! I feel for that driver!

the real one! most people dont know how stress is drive a truck...

This is why im not rushing to acquire my class1 license.

Baffling that he even tried this. He should have just reversed out while he had the chance

No assistance from the drivers in waiting cars. An extra pair of eyes would have made a big difference to the guy. If your capable of giving clear guidance instructions without getting excited yourself you should always try help someone out in this situation

He could have tried to back up onto that street. It's not even blindside turn, so, if there's enough space, he could do it. If there's no chance of doing that, then reversing back is the best option. Although, I don't know conditions of the road he would have reversing through

This is where the maths come in. That was never going to happen without damage to the lorry and property. The driver needed to assess this and work it out before forcing the issue. The property behind the trailer could have suffered structural damage this company is now liable for. He could have damaged the stone building on the right and caused body to chassis mounts to be ripped away on the fridge trailer. In my opinion this driver is either inexperienced or just a very poor judge of space Vs size of vehicle. It also raises his ability to read the road to start with IE why did he keep going up a road without stopping and researching it. Like another driver said on here, get out and have a look. Ask for help. Reverse to safety. If you are considering driving CE artics you must drop ALL car driver rabbits and step up to the plate . Do not attempt this sort of follow the sat nav blindly BS shocking driving... This is a car driver in this truck who has somehow got a CE licence and should not be out on the roads without a mentor in the passenger seat.

Don't judge the driver because we don't know if the he could reverse back without hindrance of other cars blockig him. I have also found myself in this kind of situation whereby it was the police that had to clear the way for me to reverse back because the car drivers in my back didn't want to. Sometimes, the so called Garmin map for truckers is misleading. In this kind of situation, i would advise that he should have called the police to help him control traffic so that he can reverse back even if he was given a ticket.

What a horrible looking little road. God the UK is a grim looking miserable place.

At least he went back and knocked on the door, ready to be a man and admit his mistake. Many could learn from this. Hard to see if he leaves a note or not. Hopefully he reported this to the insurance, and the house owner was covered! Personally I think I would have taken another approach to turning around, without knowing more of those streets than we see here. I would have gone further up the road, and tried to back down right, along that house he hit. Not sure it would work better, I have never driven semi/artic, but that would most likely be my first thought.

At least he had his hazards on

I would just leave and go home 😂

GOAL. Get Out And Look

when you don't know how to drive backwards

If he wasnt going to ask for help, then he needed to call the police and they will back him out. He'll be late but thats would be the end of it.

Until you've driven one and or been in a similar situation, you just wouldn't understand

That was a hard one, Presuming that camera is on a wall I don't see why he did not come up closer to increase the the amount of room he had for the turn. I always found it easier to get out the cab and asses the situation before trying the manoeuvre. As we know some time their just is not enough room to complete a turn like that one.

Stress, big vehicle and probably newbie behind wheel. GOAL, get out and look! If he foud way to get there, way back must be able (unless gate is closed behind him etc.), but sometimes much harder to do. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Artic driver here in Ireland , That driver done his best in a bad situation and even had the decency to go back to the house he scraped, it happens ,the biggest vehicles on the road are more likely to have accidents. fact

im just away to start class 1 training fuuuuu..

smooth turn

Precisa ser humilde ir com calma e ser bom profissional

If he’d had just steered right instead of left he could of t boned it round and mounted the curb with enough clearance, but that takes many years of know how, we’ve all been there, I’ve taken many a bump and scrape learning, no trucker worth their weight hasn’t.

He shouldn't have been sent in something that size, 7.5 tonne max for those streets. He tried to make contact with the householder to, presumably to do the right thing but the poor sod was doomed by his tansport manager before he even got into the wagon at the depot...

I presume that the first monoevre he tried reversing to the right weren't possible so he went for the jack knife skew around

Must love tying himself in knots 😆

Get out of the truck and have a look first

Id have reversed back to the roundabout 🤣

The Driver panicked when he got into that situation he should have reversed out of the street but looking at his reversing in this video he is not very confident or know his angles as he was about to turn he should have realised that this road was unsuitable I have done this just wonder if this driver was following an ordinary sat nav and not a Truck one.

at least he knock to check if everything is alright haha

When those axles went in the air must of " clipped " the house

this is why i dont drive artics

Il y avait d'autres façons de faire demi-tour.

My name is GPS and that was my fault.

He plainly doesn't understand articulation

In queste situazioni è meglio fermarsi chiamare la polizia, fermare il traffico e rifare tutto a marcia in dietro in modo di non fare altri danni!

He pulls up and puts the hazards on so he can have a lie down...

Mission Impossible was Possible 💪

Mr George!

Car 2 class 1 = disaster

Must have gotten his license out of a gumball machine 😂

Me in euro truck simulator

상상초월. 최고다! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think we have all been there

All needed was to long reverse out. Nuff nuff

Hi Tom, is it okay to use it please ? Credited of course. Thanks in advance.

We're there no humans happy ro help??? All siting behind curtain and watching? Plenty of space, just needs lost of shunting . Once in yard and stuck, I had to reverse over tram track and sunoly asked 2 bored police men to help . They were not brilliant , but netter than nothing😅

Did he hit the house

Least incompetent Euro Truck Simulator 2 player:

Which way did he want to go ?

Love how people film this stuff post it online and laugh instead of helping the guy maybe.... hopefully all your amazon orders are in there 😂

He's not a HGV1 driver at all, the man is total liability, would sack him on the spot,,,

You have some man or women in the traffic office sending you out on jobs without a clue .to the environment you're going to encounter .all they are interested in are if your fail your timed deliverys

Bad driving no excuse.

😁

Easy to mock

🤣

wow

Hasn’t a clue what he’s doing just reverse out ffs

An 11 minute video, showing about two minutes of relevant content. Still not sure why the driver drove in, reversed out, and then drove in again to atempt that u-turn. Still, you got another page click, so thats a result.

Nice and easy 👌 No troubles!

Might stick to rigids myself.

خداشاهده ماتوایرانن رانندهایی داریم ک باقدیمی ترین تریلی هاتومحل هایی خیلی کوچیک انقدرقشنگ ماشینوسروته میکنن آدم کییف میکنه من خودمم راننده ام اصلاادعایی ندارم اماواقعارانندهای ایران رودست ندارن وتودنیادرجه یک هستن.
