What are we saying then lads? Agency driver?

…you meant to say a newbie or a dumb arse :wink:

“Agency driver” is just another way of saying dumb arse… or newbie… or dumb arse newbie.

anyone see Austin Powers , scene where he is U turning a buggy in the tunnel…looks familiar

Get the hi viz off and try and blend in with the crowd all the time asking where the driver is. You’ve got to be insane to be driving down that road and think “I can make that!”

at least he didn’t hit the bridge :slight_smile:

Exactly what I thought lol

It’ll catch even the best of drivers out eventually, horrible stuff that black ice…

Seems to have a little bit of space behind. Maybe he burnt the clutch out.

Or it’s an auto and he’s bothered about the lack of clutch control ?

How is an agency driver any less competent that a employed driver :unamused:

Maybe he hasnt got any air and its locked in gear■■? :imp:

That is impressive :laughing:

+1

Perhaps he’s taking a break, doesn’t want an infringement.

Correct me if I’m wrong but after reading the article, he actually managed to turn it around how is that a failed u turn?

He turned it around (eventually) and, as far as I can tell, no-one got hurt and nothing was damaged (apart from the clutch linings and the driver’s pride). So nothing significant to report there.

And referring to Shrewsbury as a “village” is a slur on the County town of Shropshire :slight_smile:

Possibly, there are plenty of reasons he could have got stuck there. Only reason I said that about auto is because I hate them personally. No control at all over most of them. 'Orrible things :wink:

Failed U-turn lorry blocks Shrewsbury town centre road - BBC News

The main thing is he avoided the low bridge and he did no damage anywhere. Everyone just had to wait. Best way to learn, the hard way !! :smiley:

Coulda just backed into that HUGE gap at the side of him though ?
