Well having passed my Rigid a few weeks ago, l am off to JLD in banbury to do my Bendy!!!
On the one hand l cannot wait to get behind the wheel…l have always wanted to drive one, but on the other hand l am a bit worried l will find it really difficult and feel really lost?? Or is that normal to start with??
Any tips/advice much appreciated 
I’ll give you 30 mins max behind the wheel before you feel comfortable with it
Is it any wider than the rigid - nope
Are the brakes different - nope
Is your general approach speed to hazards any different than the rigid - nope
In a dead straight line, is it any different to a very long rigid - nope
Will you have to position slightly differently than the rigid for some hazards - yup
Does the method for getting around those hazards differ from the rigid - yup
Is it easier to get around many hazards easier than an 8 legger rigid - yup
(only known if you have ever driven an 8 legger - the turning circle is crap!!)
Will it do a ‘U’ turn on itself in less space than a rigid - yup
Will it have more blind spots especially if not dead straight - yup
Does it go backards differently to a rigid - yup - the silly thing bends

Looking forward to seeing you again for the Artic remind me again how many minors you got under my instruction (and then remind Chris your instructor in the morning). LOL! You will be fine enjoy the course and i will see you when i can walk again.
Oh Yes Chris is also a partner in the business (so give him some stick about the assistant bit)
