INCIDENT at Stafford Hospital - A&E Car Hanging over the EDGE!

Hello KZbinrs!
Welcome back to another video!
SO todays unfortunate video is an elderly couple who went out of the disabled car park ... but over the kerb taking the short cut!
In all fairness, this is not the first incident, and won't be the last..
The design of the disabled car park needs bollards at the END, as the access is very tight getting in and out the car park, something does need to be done to prevent this from happening again...
Im sure we will be back here again soon.
Car checked out A OK, and it was the FORD F450 dispatched to this one!

What a fantastic recovery truck and also a first class recovery driver who cares about people’s property and not just pull it out and damage it and say well your fault and I need to get to my next job, very professional brilliant

[@m3dus455]

it annoys me when the people dont move to a safe position ... people just dont have a clue do they !!!

[@Streamer687]

Agreed, and thats the point, profesional operators(Such as this fella) can see the danger to the public, and place as much "HAZARD" barriers as possible to prevent injury(Unlike north america where no one gives a dam about tow op's safety)

[@Streamer687]

That parking lot needs a FENCE on the end. No way anyone would NOT know that its not an exit at first glance, Especially since its a disabled parking area at a hospital.

[@steve5772]

Tell me you live in Stafford without telling me you live in Stafford "I came out of my house this morning and someone had had the wheels off my golf buggy and left it up on bricks"

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Is a bit rougher these days! 😂

[@andrewjones-productions]

You are right. The design of that car park is not good. As you say, they definitely need bollards or at the very least a simple fence that is high enough to be visible so that people don't mistake it to be the exit.

[@loneranger5928]

Good job 👌 you're right. Implementing health and safety measures is essential should something go wrong. Decent man, giving the £10 back to the couple. 👍

[@williamcawley1113]

my mother is from there in Staffordshire many happy memories of visiting the potteries museum.

[@PYXLagri]

I’d say they definitely could do with some barriers or something 😂, great video btw

110% ! Thanks for watching! GDB

But until then, it's a nice little earner 😆

[@fill7t1]

That's a beast of a recovery vehicle! Top job!

[@Rodders20004]

Nice truck and a good setup, the best place to pull that car was the rear axle you was spot on. Those Peugeot towing eyes are rubbish and aren’t man enough for the job and snap like carrots 🥕

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Saturday evening to you sir from Wellington Somerset

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Good morning! Hope your feeling better ! Thanks again for stopping by! GDB

[@richardmendham5278]

Really interesting job that. Unusual! Hope it never happens to me! My car's not an auto though. I am a wheelchair traveller, so I'm in the back and have drivers!

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Fingers crossed not!! Ahh got you! Fingers crossed this never hapens 😂✌️

[@markfoden765]

Nice job greg,takes longer sometimes to set up and pack up than it does doing the job,that phone never stops m8 you need a glamorous assistant to answer the phone😂ive seen some idiot in the comments saying they wouldn't have taken any money off them because they are pensioners but my reply to them was so if every customer was a pensioner they would soon be out of business,carry on the good honest work 🙂👍

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks yep its the setting up and packing up takes time, doing the job most times is the easy part! Yes a few assistants would be great! I do struggle everyday tbh! Yeah ive seen it not worth my energy 😂

[@markfoden765]

@gdbrescuerecovery no I agree you're energy is better put somewhere else but it pisses me off when you have someone in the same field as you absolutely talking shite and trying to put someone else down thinking they are some kind of hero but in reality they are the opposite

[@imagseer]

It's only if you need to increase subscribers to your channel substantially that doing a free or reduced-cost recovery for pensioners with Blue Badge would be a good idea. You can't really ask them if they're on means-tested Pension Credit and truly don't have spare money. That hospital needs to put a fence or plants there to reduce the hazard.

[@ProMilkshake]

I bet you can go hours without a phone call, but as soon as you get to a job they all come through at once.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Yeah sometimes that can happen, then all of a sudden its all at once! Thanks for watching! GDB

[@person4402]

It's not even a regular parking spot, it's a disabled one. They *definitely* need bollards.

[@paulcole2575]

Wicked video Greg keep up the good work

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Wahey thanks for watching as always! GDB

[@bernardcromarty485]

That car park is ridiculous! An accident waiting to happen! The owners of the car park (often not the hospital) should be held liable for future 'accidents' if they don't install a barrier as a matter of urgency. It's easy to blame the motorist, but visibility is obviously an issue - and people visiting a hospital often have other things on their minds, so the car park needs to be idiot-proofed! After all, the car park owners are making easy money...

[@juliadaniels3871]

Master Class, Sir ! Total perfectionist:-) An absolute Legend. You are a total joy to watch.🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rjbfreelander2]

The people just bumbling around near the recovery and winch line are driving me nuts. Get out of the way.

[@seancoleman8528]

Defo needs bollards nice of u to give them money back nice to see there's honest people

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

110% Thanks for the watch and comment!

[@CJT80]

The bit where the car went off needs a barrier (like a motorway crash barrier) with No Exit written behind it! That kerb is useless

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Very true indeed!

[@dannycrooks8462]

When I was doing breakdown and recovery we had a book of rules to follow when we got on scene cones going out warning signs ect it could take long setting up the safety than doing the job people couldn't understand spending about 30 mins settling up for a 10 to 15 minute job but it saved our backsides when something went wrong not on scene there was a few accidents the thing that saved us the site was set up by the book only for that we could have been held liable for the accidents even though it was caused by bad driving of the motorists don't cut corners setting up things can go wrong That's out of your control they even measured the distance of the cones and warning signs from the scene and the position of recovery vehicle and service van and angle they were parked it everything was OK and most importantly get people away to safety from the side of the road so if the vehicles are struck they can't be hit by them it does happen even if its raining get them away from the vehicles they might be passed about getting wet but they'll still be alive

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Incredible read! Thanks for comment and the watch! GDB

[@paulriggers1558]

woo-woos on, reverse up, spec the front, lift up, h/brake off, shove it back onto the carpark... no sense of adventure these younguns...

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Very true but the more the rear is raised, the lower the front when comes back over kerb. Could of tow roped and pulled in 30 seconds also, but with an audience around better to play safe.

[@paulriggers1558]

@@GDBRescueandrecovery no, spec the FRONT + push it back up

[@Steven-wn5eu]

Greg is sound, he obviously does have morals, he made sure he tested the car before the old couple which a lot of people wouldn’t do, he was as fast as possible. He gave the couple the £10 overpayment back which trust me alot of recovery companies wouldn’t they are sneaky. Personally though I would have said just give me £100 as the job was easy enough, at a hospital and you could see the old couple weren’t loaded but he isn’t running a charity but in future I’m sure if the same situation happened again with an old couple struggling he wouldn’t except the full payment. Seen some comments regarding his prices aswell for things like tyre callout. I drive down the m6 everyday and trust me it’s full of crashes and dodgy drivers, emergency call out for a new tyre in such a dangerous place is why it’s like £350-£400 you are paying for the same day tyre change in an emergency situation.

where about on the axles do you recover from? I appreciate they're not ideal to recover from.

Very true, but with alot of people watching rather play it safe.

Is it possible to use air bags that are used to recover boats up beaches for jobs such as this ?

ive worked it out already she just drove to leave the carpark and it was the wrong way to go oh shit a curb but ill keep going ..i love this green truck well kool .is it drivable on a car licence ,thats a disgusting carprk no poles at the end or even a bin .

I would suggest converting it over to RHD but your selling it anyway so.

So how'd you end up with an F250 wheel lift tow truck out there?? Lol

[@deanschannel]

They might of wanted to give you a tip of £10 as thank you for checking the vehicle over and going the extra mile to help them out

[@ed_zeus]

Love your content. But this is one long winded way to go about this when you have that beast of a truck. Would have been easier to just clamp the rear wheels and give it a big smash on the loud pedal. 20+ years of commercial truck tyre fitting taught me that all the cones and hi vis things you can possibly have won’t save you, never waited for highways ever in my life if I they can’t see a big set of flashing beacons they aren’t gonna see a traffic cone. Quicker the safer mate simple as.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Certainly could of done it in 2 mins bang a rope on and pull. But when youve got mds and staff and public watching and walking by, Better to be slow and steady and win the race.

[@Paul-XCIV2]

He didn't "take it off".. I'm sure they were quoted a price before deciding to book him and could have phoned around and chosen someone else if they wanted. The fee covers his time, experience, equipment, insurance, taxes, profit margin, ...

Maybe the cost involved will make them a bit more cautious next time. If you have a bloody huge bill for something, you do all you can to avoid a repeat :)
