PS Hopefully a mod will come and work their magic to stand the truck on itā€™s wheels!

Not a mod but FTFY all the same :wink:

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Going by the phone enquiries, itā€™s gonna be a busy day!

Look forward to seeing you. Remember, again, to mention Trucknet. Always 10% discount and it will be A LOT better on Monday!!!

Interesting to note itā€™s a cameraā€™ed unit, I hadnā€™t previously considered that training schools would, at some point, be expected to make that change, but Iā€™m guessing youā€™re probably ahead of the curve at the minute. Iā€™d be curious to know how candidates take to these.

Yes, thereā€™s several of these new DAFS scattered around the 4 schools that are now in the group. And, to the best of my knowledge, no problem with the camera mirrors. I drove one for the first time a few months ago and, by the time I got off the industrial estate, I was used to it. Very good, especially in poor weather or in the dark. Also have an auto setting so that the whole ā€œmirrorā€ swaps to wide angle on a tight turn. Clever.

I have no idea if the transition from camera to conventional mirrors is as easy. But I imagine it would be fine. Not heard otherwise.

Camera truck benefit the instructor too, as they will see exactly what driver see regardless of angle etc
