Now that is some really impressive reversing skills, especially with the separate dolly at the front which doesn't steer like the rear axles of the trailer and it ain't easy to master reversing those separate none steerable dollys 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@clive8907]

Have to admire the skills of the drivers of these vehicles .

[@utilitarian]

[@BusesTrainsandOtherthings]

When I take my artic into London things seem a little more straightforward...😅 Nice work drive, crack on.. 👍

[@iancraven7292]

For them that know That takes some doing with a single jeep dolly in

[@KevinBower-gy5be]

Was thinking the same = 2 x points of articulation, yes?

[@iancraven7292]

@@KevinBower-gy5be yes two fifth wheels A single axle is more difficult than a double axle jeep dolly. It’s just practice though you do get used to them

[@westboundbadger]

Knowing my luck i would get to that junction then need a tacho break !

[@BusesTrainsandOtherthings]

Whiteleys shopping centre I use to work for explore transport

[@BusesTrainsandOtherthings]

yeah, unfortunately they shut down few years ago because some rich arabs bought it and now they’re creating a hotel/apartments for other rich people 🙁

[@user-ig1xo3om2x]

6x4 Mercedes, single axle jeep, and 4 axle plant well-deck semi-trailer yes?

[@KevinBower-gy5be]

Props to the skill of the driver. I've sat and watched women (always women) who can't reverse a Mini into a parking bay.

[@roostercogburn809]

They always drive on the wrong side of the road over there... 😆

[@BusesTrainsandOtherthings]

The HGV was too long so they had to, that’s why it’s called an abnormal load! The roads were closed by traffic marshals too.

[@roostercogburn809]

@@BusesTrainsandOtherthings Thanks, but it was a joke, referencing Americans drive on opposite side of the roads than the UK...
