Crikey, think yourself lucky you didn’t have my Sed Ak 400 eightlegger! For turning left at some junctions you had to touch the right hand kerb with the offside wheels, I wrote a car off once when she crept up inside me ;“Why were you on the wrong side of the road but indicating left?” she asked but it was deemed to be her fault as I was indicating.I’ve never driven an artic though, apart from caravans and trailers.

Takes me back to the Foden eight leggers in the 60’s. Like I’ve said before, you didn’t steer 'em round corners, you aimed at them and everyone got out of yer way. Christ I was strong in those days. We used to load concrete pavers and pipe segments for Bingley from a mob at Feltham. Had a mans steering and a clutch you had to stand on.
