I PULLED the DVSA! - GOT CHA! - OFF TO THE CRUSHER! - EPISODE 5 GDB WEEKLY

[@MikeBroom]

"DVSA here, can you pick up on of our vehicles please.." Hmm smells like a trap 🤣🤣🤣

[@JacobEvans2]

I'm in shock. A red X was set straight away. Have they finally used common sense and changed the policies?

[@thehighwayband]

The weekly looks like a good format that catches on. At least me I was looking forward to this episode and already am for the next one. Big thumbs up!!

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks a million! Its a big investment for these videos so i really appreciate that comment. GDB

[@tonyc7859]

The mg has had a tow bar fitted and they have removed the crash bar from behind the bumper that the towing eye screws into

[@ldarm]

This channel is fantastic 💪🏻

[@miketaylor1916]

Overkill 😅

[@karlcuk]

I wonder if that MG has an aftermarket tow hitch , which means it does not have the OEM crash bar and therefore is missing the screw hole for the rear tow hitch. Had this issue with our Ford Galaxy

[@Dmaoa]

Wait. Is it a regulation to remove it, or something? Never heard of it. I wonder if mines has it still.

[@lawrenceappleyard3971]

Hi I have just had my 20Year old Combo mot'ed. If you look after them they just keep going. You can't beat the older ones. It goes nicely with my 74 reg Skoda Superb 4x4 L&K. Love your videos.

[@somerandomguywastaken]

I recently had my 24yrold seicento MOTd, first time failed for gawdam rust, one weld later and it passed easy

Got me on "Not just any Galaxie". I had a Galaxie back in the day. It was a 4 door sedan. Now look at them, so different than the old ones.

[@KylesCarsYT]

hats because this isn't a Galaxie, it's a Galaxy. Completely different model line of car.

[@grahamw6503]

Get a blick of wood to lower the winck x spikes onto during transit, save it being on body trailer.

A old tire would work.

[@charliemillar3040]

Investing into these videos was a good choice Mr GDB💪🏻

[@markfoden765]

Loving the weekly vids and hope going into 2025 they grow stronger and stronger 💪good to see you finally getting a few decent people in highways giving you the Red X and hope more of the callers do it for youaswell,cheers greg👊👍

[@legion162]

Just a comment to say how much I enjoy your videos

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

Why does the DVSA veh have opulent embriodered seats! They will have to be recoverd (excuse pun), or removed before sale to the public, after their service life. Double whammy to the tax payer! Really engaging vlogs you put out mate. PS; Big shout out to your cameraman!

[@xxinsanitybomer4620]

The shit they spend our money on that we haven't got a clue about shocking

it shows 45PSI for back tyre is that correct seams hi

[@gekkoc]

WinchX is great but I’m not sure about having a blue light?

[@MBM.James.]

A quick question which has probable been answered in another video but why is the beacon (strobe lights) on the winch X blue and not orange??

[@paulf2529]

It is illegal.

[@HJZ75driver]

@@paulf2529It is not

[@richardlaw5737]

@@paulf2529perfectly legal as it’s not on a road vehicle, same as the blue road flares

[@Flunkybadger]

⁠@@paulf2529it’s a bit like why do diggers have one flashing amber light one flashing green light. Vehicle lighting regs say flashing green is for a GMC Dr. Like mentioned the winch x is not covered by those regulations as it is not a road legal vehicle

[@derekdunstan4724]

Sounds good to me Mark.

[@ergotot45]

Is the reflective rear marker board mounted upside down on the Leyland/DAF ?

[@andrewcotterill996]

Keep them coming and very good job 👍👍

[@rhock1979]

Interesting to see if you respond to DVLA breakdown in ESA, or they rescued themselves will they put up a Red Cross on lane one to protect them from being hit by cars going fast? Also why the police cars have no number plates

[@JeffsWig]

Damien is a man of few words 😂

[@johndrew3202]

I have missed a reconciliation between you and National Highways about the red crosses to get you back in the traffic? It must be the 1st vlog when you have not had an argument with them. Good vlog anyway, thanks Greg, and Will.

[@OK247OK]

Should of dumped the Galaxy in a ERB on the motorway

[@johnbrown4280]

More miles going to.. "Jaspers" Refreshments 😂😂😂😂

[@xxinsanitybomer4620]

Must be doing something right dvds calling on GDB proud ey ya bro

[@mikef3324]

DVSA embroidered into the seats!! What a great use of taxpayers money.

[@xxinsanitybomer4620]

Money is not a probs when it's the poor tax payer that pays for it what a waste ey just goes to show the things we don't know what cash is getspent on

[@geko7844]

They’re seat covers. Keeps the seats in good condition (from oil, dirt, damage) to increase resale value. The covers can then be reused on future vehicles (or at least they could if Ford still made the Galaxy)

[@Cmbinbag2010]

Biggest fan

[@tonytasker489]

If National Highways asked you to recover one of their vehicles, would the price be doubled? 🤣

[@mfrsr]

why not just put a sticker in shot behind your seat that says "SEATBELT EXEMPT" or something? saves explaining it every video.

[@garyarmstrong5569]

i suggest you change the blue light mate oh you might have issues with the police

[@paulf2529]

Reference the winch x only emergency service vehicles are authorised to use blue lights.

[@ms-in5ub]

It may possibly not be blue it maybe the way the led translates on the camera

[@ms-in5ub]

Saying that it's not a road vehicle, so no rules I would have thought, like Christmas lights on a house

[@elliothogben]

i believe Greg said in the previous video about it that he'll only use blue on private property where it is allowed, I could be wrong but thats just what I remember

[@paulf2529]

@elliothogben Even so it will just draw attention from neighbours and passers by etc. A blue light shows for miles at night in the countryside. In a remote area of the sort were Greg is likely to be recovering from anyone nearby would be confused/ curious and likely to turn up blocking the road further or causeing distraction. Amber beacon and people will think it is a tractor.

[@LeezyPD170]

​@@paulf2529anything will catch attention to nosey fuckers in the country side

[@David-qn9wu]

Is there a reason your tyre van says tire on the front? Is that an inside joke or just a misspelling?

[@richardlaw5737]

Was, think it’s being scrapped from what was said in the previous video - it’s gone there to be decommissioned so will likely pop up at copart next

[@dg2908]

Checked its MOT history... can't quite believe they let it fail its first MOT with a lamp out!! also, would be good to hear the justification for the logos being embroidered on the seats

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

They do ridiculous amounts of idling time aswell.

[@smilly9]

Ah SVS they do blue light conversions.

[@grahamw6503]

Ya won't win in that situation with no protection

[@paulf2529]

Off road winching I always use a winch blanket of some description usually an old jacket thrown over the rope. Takes seconds but would reduce the momentum and speed of a broken cable.

[@milesbashford7765]

Love video

[@mick6263]

I do recovery myself for a big company with Police contract. Just a pointer from me Greg. I HATE lads who have twisted straps. It's all about image and perfection. I know it's a bit Anal but your strapping is terrible and looks awful. A bit more presentation would go a long way ... Its not me being a dick just having an observation given I do the same job but on a bigger scale. I don't think there is any excuse for messy straps...Sorry for exposing my OCD and hope you don't take offence as your doing a great job and love your videos. Infact, I've even taken a couple of ideas from you for when I'm doing the job. The job can be hard and stressful especially 24/7 on call for Police uplifts but please sort your straps out 😂😂...Well Done on your Subscribers also 👏 🎉

[@Speedfreak99969]

You hate lads with messy straps 🤣🤣🤣 a bit harsh sometimes it's better to keep some comments to yourself.

[@mick6263]

[@mikef3324]

Safe is safe, straps without a twist is as you said just anal. No change to the strength of the strap, no other hazards I can see.

Why have you got a blue light on that thing??? You are asking for trouble big time if you are on a public area......did notice you love flashing lights , orange or blue.........

[@paulf2529]

Agree, it is illegal and confusing even if used off road as the lights show from a distance. An amber beacon would suffice.

[@richardlaw5737]

He won’t get any trouble, same as the blue road flares, fully and 💯 legal

[@johnkirbymobileautoelectri4321]

@richardlaw5737 let's see you go on a public road with a flashing blue light...... You can have a blue light if it is on all the time and doesn't flash. The recovery guys have been fighting to get flashing red lights at the rear. At the moment only emergency vehicles and the highways team can use them at the moment. But as I right this I think not has been passed that recovery vehicles can now have flashing reds at the rear

[@richardlaw5737]

@ I’ve done it and will do it again no problem. I’ve got blue road flares that I can stick on my cones or put in the road or even stick to the van with the magnets It’s not illegal Rear reds for breakdown personnel have been approved, your supposed to fill out a load of forms I’ve had rear reds on my van for +5 years and have had traffic police on scene multiple times and they have said nothing
