And this is the result :open_mouth: :open_mouth: made me laugh :unamused:

Poor sod, glad it weren’t me, don’t suppose the majority of us would be any better in the back alleys of the wilds of Hungary than this poor sod is round the back lanes of Wales, i know i wouldn’t.

Stand by, some experts who’ve never made a mistake will be along shortly…

Nice trailer[emoji16]

Already here. A member of the self righteous brothers started the thread! :unamused:

That road is wider than some signed HGV routes in some of Wales/Shropshire.

I can see it’s beached but how did the arse end end up in that bush?

People got stuck on rural lanes before Sat Nav’s, it’s just we didn’t have the web and trucknet to broadcast their mistake to everybody.

Was thinking the same myself, been on far narrower lanes on farm and forest work, and at many points wondering if I really should be taking a truck down that road.

An awfull lot do follow the sat nav blindly there’s a constant stream of the yellow peril come of the m20 go up bluebell hill then m2 to get to the M25 as the sat nav says it about a km shorter. a simple glance at a map will tell them it’s a lot harder and a good 15 min longer. We have a few of our Hungarian trucks over this week none been over before and none have a UK atlas , nice lads but all relying on car satnavs

We do a lot of farm collections in Shropshire and Wales , in fact everywhere. I often try to check on Google maps for preferred routes but it doesn’t always work. Recently had to reverse over a mile after taking an incorrect lane. I try to mentally note possible turning points as I progress down a lane. It’s quite stressful and you never quite know.
Anyone can make a mistake

Fair comment but if you look on facebook you will see that they seem to have a problem with most roads smaller than a motorway in the majority of Europe including Hungary too :smiley:

In the early 90’s I followed concise handwritten directions and the Michelin Europe map to a customers address in Northern Italy, to a “regular artic drop”, there was no sat nav then, just real maps, the end result was similar to this but with the assistance of some helpful locals I got myself out of the ■■■■■■
When I finally got tipped at a point 3/4 Kms.from the delivery I was told, “the customer didn’t expect this size of wagon”.
Don’t be quick to condem at some stage everybody makes a mistake!

Agree with what you are saying , however this is occurring too regularly with this company TBH that was a fairly minor one compared with some of their others.
Have been to some dodgy places myself in Spain and Portugal but luckily have avoided these situations by either getting out and walking or getting some decent local knowledge, these guys just seem to plough on regardless.

Its probably to do with the fact that waberers have thousands and thousands of wagons running round europe with car sat navs and a license they have brought the week before.

Park up,have a gander and decide.It saves time,money and looking like a ■■■■■■■■■■.

for years i was running on maps all over europe to the middle east, the maps still took me down unsuitable roads, and sometimes to low bridges, now we have sat navs ( me too ) and i have a truck one, with all the right co-ordinations put in…height, width, weight…and still they put me in unsuitable places…so yes we all make mistakes with or without aids, some sat navs were programmed ages ago, and not up dated, the biggest problems are where the delivery points are situated, they should be helped to re-locate to more suitable places with good access, for large vehicles, and not where horse and carts were originally used…at the end of the day, whatever aids we have, one still needs to use ones visual at the same time.
