            Got to give the guy credit, I know safety wires were in place and he had small platforms on the trucks to put his feet on but at 53 he's still a tad agile :) :biggrin: :blue thumb:

            Wouldn't want to have been one of those drivers though in case they hit a cobble :heehee: :oops:

              Theye weren't exactly artics. There's no turning space between cabs and trailers.

              So much better than the Coors advert that he disgraced himself with.

              Did he? Still, it could happen to anyone. Perhaps it was something he ate.

              The one on the left on the screen is a six wheeler, the one on the right is a artic
              Going backwards in a artic with trailar at speed is hard to do
              The six wheeler is the one that moved over and they following the white lines

              Their is only just enough room between cab and trailar to turn, when you put on the air lines there is just enough room for a person to get in, the air deflecters on the cab make the cab look bigger, the gap beween cab and trailar in only 12-18 inches, the air deflecter fill the gaps on the sides and the top, the air deflecter on the nearside (UK) will move so you can get in beween the cab and trailar

              Sorry Jiffy, I've taken another look and still not convinced. I'll have a chat with my daughter and see what she thinks. :)
