All the comments from people slating the driver I’m guessing you drive nothing larger than a car. Until you actually have an HGV license and can competently drive one I think you all should reserve your sarcastic comments.
Big Rigger, Bridgnorth actually has well signed weight limits and a truck this size should not be in Bridgnorth town centre. And i do drive larger than a car, i hold an artic licence.
robert till Yes I have a class 1 also ,it just aggravates me when some people comment on things and they don’t have a clue or see it from the drivers perspective.
@@bigrigger3762 I do agree with how you feel, but in this case the idiot just should not have been there, and does nothing for truck driver relations with the wider public.
The driver clearly takes good care of his truck - it's well presented so he is clearly a professional. We have all made the odd mistake so give us HGV drivers some slack please. In any case he may not have had much choice if a delivery had to be made. All these people who complain about the size/weight of HGV's all want their goods delivered cheaply so that's how logistics work. Howevr, no-one mentions the Peugeot Partner van clearly NOT loading/unloading parked in the loading bay (did the driver of that get a taxi to the payment ?) - may, just may have given the wagon & dray a bit moree room. To all those HGV haters out there "if you hate HGV's & drivers that much stop buying suff".
Anyone tried getting an artic down market st in ludlow, that made good spectator sport, did'nt get there by accident, doing work on an old building and the builders needed a 44 tonner to get all the huge airbags out. Doesnt half pucker your arse up when you have overhanging buildings on both sides about 2 inches of each corner.
I've had a round of applause before when getting out of tight spaces nothing like a badly planned run or dodgy sat nav to get the arse cheeks twitching.
Put all car drivers in an HGV down a narrow street and tell them to get out of that situation without any incident. They would soon have a different perspective of HGVs then.
Your comment conveniently ignores the fact that there are signs at the start of New road (which leads to the road in question) indicating a 7.5 tonne weight limit through the town and additional signs indicating the correct route HGV's and PCV's should take around the centre of the town - and they've been in place for many, many years. The driver found himself in a situation of his own making, through his own lack of awareness and skill. He and his company should be on the receiving end of a very hefty fine (and one can guarantee that had they have been British, they would have been!).
@@annegrey-blackman5934 I agree it's the driver who ultimately got himself in this situation by lack of forward planning (and lack of English as seems apparent). A brief description about what happened could be in the description box. I can't see any 7.5t weight limit signs in the video so in essence I didn't conveniently ignore that fact. Those that deliver there regularly would know.
@@annegrey-blackman5934 He didn't go up New Road, but he went up Listley Street. There are no markings on it that it is unsuitable for Lorries, nor that it is effectively a dead end if you start from Pound Street. St. Marry's street from that side is marked as "Unsuitable for H.G.Vs", but no other street from that side. So if one street is marked and the other one not, then it means it should be possible to pass there, right? If anyone is due a fine, is the person responsible for road signs
I missed a turn or took a wrong one and got stuck somewhere near there in an artic about 25 years ago... I had to have a police escort the wrong way around the one way system to get out. Can't remember exactly where that would be, either Much Wenlock or Ironbridge! The police followed me to my next drop to give me a bollocking! Lol
A mate was in london and he decidied to follow a bus down a street. he met a bridge. The double decker had sloped roofs to allow it to get under. He had to reverse half mile down wrong way in central london. Police had to close the whole street down lol
The places they ask you to deliver and go to in this job are a joke sometimes - laughing and cameras out at the first sign of a driver struggling - help the poor sod or your clothes and food won't be on time.
@@39LFC One good thing said for old school drivers is they do not always rely on technology like Sat Nav to get them to the destination they are old school and use the Street Atlas maps books
@Ed Straker Could not agree more I can plan my route using the maps up to and around most places particularly London as that can be a right pain as for the Sat navs it takes you around places you really do not need to go
@cjeam why?!? He is a foreigner, so he doesn't know the way there. He is just following his satnav. And he steered the truck through there without a problem.
The driver didn’t follow the road signs, because they went the wrong way down a one-way street, and “We told him to turn back and reverse in the car park and he said he didn't understand. We tried to gesture and he didn't listen and he got stuck for hours.” Not following road signs and causing an obstruction and damage to a building is why he deserves a fine.
Ive driven my truck round that corner many times. Its bloody tight and he did well. Most ppl commenting wouldn't even get a van round there
Well done you.
Hopefully you were going the right way down the street, unlike Chuckles in the video.
@@Grizzly01 yes. I was coming other way. He should've come out road to the right of him if i remember rightly.
You should see people’s faces when they heckle and you hand them the keys. I have only done it once but it was priceless
Being a driver of class 1 , it's everyone nightmare to be stuck in a wee town
Most exciting thing to have happened there for years
Lmfaooooo

He drove 100m the wrong way along a clearly signed one-way street before getting stuck.
This particular HGV driver certainly deserves the criticism.
spot on!

LHD Wagon & Drag..... not your average town dweller, calm and skilful

Surely the title would be better if it said SKILLED DRIVER IN A STRANGE TOWN MAKES DIFFICULT MANOUVER.
Hang on, I'll check my English dictionary 😯
when does it get stuck then ?
Shropshire Star at the forefront of investigative journalism.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn't look very stuck to me!
loved how the coppers sat in the car instead of helping
Why did you love it?
Typical moron cop. All they care about is finding an excuse to give someone a ticket or kneel on their neck. Cops are worthless.

Hardly got stuck, good manoeuvre if you ask me
Good manoeuvring by the driver
It's the cyclists fault.
Yep always the cyclist fault ha ha

Nice to seen an old TGA
So he didn't get stuck? Just a bit of a squeeze but he got through.

Satellite Navigation strikes again. Treating Trucks as though they are Cars simply doesn’t work.
The places they ask you to deliver and go to in this job are a joke sometimes - laughing and cameras out at the first sign of a driver struggling - help the poor sod or your clothes and food won't be on time.
chaos? or just some people waiting?
u lot clapping and recording you tryy drive it its hard enough witbout everyone stood watching
His front tyres look absolutely bald.. what's your betting Vosa didn't bother to shake down this guy?

polski truck he has polski plates

Gotta love a wagon and drag

it's called getting lost or using a satnav prob

Se passi con la motrice passa anche il rimorchio, non hai fatto niente di eccezionale. Autotreno con biga.
If That Had Been a UK Truck Driver He Would Get A LOT Of Tickets from the Police = FACT !
for what exactly? he was just 2 inches from not going over the kerb at all at any time, youre a jealous van driver oololol
@Ed Straker yeah people get off with speeding all day everyday only because the public or police dont film them.
If this is England, why is the truck steering wheel on the left side?
Truck from other Europe country.
I hope the driver got a nice big fine
why
