My days diary (Videos)

Postby euroscot » Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:30 pm

Ok I posted photos a few weeks back of my part time driving job at weekends, I thought I'd go a step further, I threw the camera in the window and let the video roll.
I started off in peterhead with a full load of mini containers headed for Albert Quey in Aberdeen. Below is a photo of an outfit similar to what I had, I'm the youngest so get the oldest unit, crap I know but thats how it goes. Any comments welcome.

I was thinking about asking you if I could quote these videos in the newbies forum so those that are going for their CE can see the positioning & space needed to manoeuvre an ARTIC around various hazards
For those watching the videos, they would need to know the exact position of the camera to obtain the correct perspective.

Yeah sure you can, I'm not long past as you know so would be glad to help. If you know the inside of a CF its just above where the hazard warning light box is, stuck to the window.

It's actually a phase 1 R-reg unit I had but yeah that would roughly be about right.
