I’m sure we’ve all seen this one before, but it never fails to put a smile on my face.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP5Sb5Ggh7kWas that just outside Glastonbury it defo looked familiar, if so it’s about a 300 yard section of d/c where everyone tries to get past even though it’s a 30 limit.
Although amusing I cant help but feel a pro driver should ease off in this situation and let the caravan through. Neck and neck to the pinch point is just going to end in tears.
Understandable the pro driver doesnt possess the necessary defensive roadcraft to navigate this situation without carnage ensuing and is then left with a damaged truck and enforcing the muppet stereotype many HGV drivers perpetuate.
Course the caravan owner is stupid attempting this manouvre without a compliant partner but there should be a penalty for HGV drivers not driving to an expected higher standard.
In this situation I block em early or let them through but then im a much better driver than the one in this video 
Edit: Having just read the HGV drivers account of the incident in the video comments I cant help but think what a load of bollox, cant sleep my arse.

I let them through and then spend the next 8 hours making a Voodoo doll of them! 
Reckon id ave hit the bugger as well but dont tell anyone

If this was made legal, how long would it before you saw people on the top deck whilst it’s moving?
It’s all going to end in tears…
I had visions of decapitated campers the first time I saw it. Surely that can only be a good thing though!
Tail heavy is an understatement, would be entertaining to tow to say the least.

Going back to the cam footage
Please don’t, we Trucknet CSI’d it to death over dozens of pages when it first did the rounds.

It is now law for all drivers of vehicles over 7.5 tonne to sound their horns when passing lay bus full of caravans between 22:00 and 07:00 hrs.
unless they are travellers cos them buggers would chase you,lets face it would you want half a dozen or so chasing you for disturbing them,and they don’t give a txxs for the law

caravanning for the environmentally aware!

if by some chance that thing is egal,and not just a photoshop windup then every diddycoy east of galway will be wanting one to be one up on the rest of them,same as the wedding dresses,i await the outcome with eager anticipation if someone can buy one…

Christ. If you cant afford a proper holiday, do without.Why on earth would you want to drag a fibreglass potty around with you?

Worst of all the ■■■■■ image. Totally agree, its like towing a mobile shiiter around with you. Sitting in a field on a camping chair looking a right ■■■■ is not a holiday…
definitely a candidate for the bridge bashers threads, must be 14/15 foot at the back end . you’d have to put the mother in law in the boot to hold the car down .

Going back to the cam footage and i’m not sticking up for the caravaner because he was being stupid but the lorry driver was not slowing down and he would have had a clear view of the approaching car and van and so it would have been obvious that the car was not going to give up trying to get pass so why did the lorry driver not just ease off to let him pass and the incident would have been avoided ?
He’d be stuck behind a wobble box.
Do you not drive trucks?
Ive a good friend who is really into his caravans, he doesn’t seem old enough yet to be honest. We went for a lads on their own away from the birds day out, fatman pub lunch at the red lion in Revesby for a pie and veg medley, visit to a lincs war museum to look at tanks and things painted green etc before an evening down his local with quite a few good beers. He was telling me how complex and fragile all the loading was on a caravan, tow bar nose weight, tire pressures etc. I said to him it sounds like mini wagon driving and that for a few quid less he could’ve booked a hotel and had a proper bog and not worried about hearing his misses go for a tinkle behind a Formica door 
But that’s part of the appeal 
Don’t use formica it’s built of approx 1/8 inch thin board, but durable, and for the washroom it’s plastic covered.
And for the old type of portaloo, when you need to fill up the reservoir or top bit with fresh water walk into the wind with the front towards you otherwise you are liable to get smacked in the gob when the lid flies up! Personal experience …
