Can’t say he wasn’t warned :
Another driver not using his eyes.
I think they need to paint out the “intelligent” bit
I hope that company’s got understanding insurers!
Now, I can understand breaking a light lens or catching a wing in that situation, but it must take somebody ‘real special’
to demolish the side of a house!
How the ■■■■ do you do that? 
Looks like he tried to back it up, over done the turn and forgot about the front corner of the trailer.

I think it’s a bit ott to call him the knob of the week. After all, it’s only Monday. Plenty of time for another colossal ■■■■ up!
Either I’m missing something ?..but why is trailer all way to right of road?
Looks as if it’s seriously cut in when there’s seems to be space to turn in better keeping left over more?
Or was he reversing as article said trying to turn round and front caught gable end ?
Seems strange angles to me.

At first look, I wasn’t sure how he had managed to get into a tangle here but it’ll be the hill that’s done it for him. The bend is technically passable space-wise but it’s uphill and the climb gets even steeper immediately after the bend, which if he was fully loaded could have caused him a few issues, especially with a crappy MAN auto box and lack of know how. He’ll have run out of steam & the steep gradient will probably have contributed to the monumental ■■■■ up of the reverse back.

Should bust the firm for breaching the Trade Descriptions laws. 
An intelligent driver shouldn’t need a SatNav in the first place - right?

If one drives down a country lane, peering at a satnav screen - then surely one’s attention is as distracted as if watching a ■■■■■ on the tablet or texting on the Iphone?

Dolph, The Bulgarian Ambassador to Trucknetuk will be here soon to claim that the driver has been subjected to inhumane ridicule and therefore must be given political asylum, a bed on the floor of a broom cupboard somewhere in Reading and a job washing cars at a boarded up service station somewhere along the A4.

Which one? - I’ve seen several along the A4 between London & Bristol in the last month… 
I’ve just had a look on google satellite.
It’s just a bog standard housing scheme nothing country lane about it which is what I was expecting. It’s a narrow piece of road for about 100 metres. Yeah it’s a tight turn but it looks very do-able with the extra Tarmac opposite the bend.
Me being Colombo, I reckon he has tried to go round the bend not using all the road realises it’s on and reverses to have another go and cracks the house. Case closed, verdict - daft arse

Pretty much what I made of it.
I also didn’t think it looked particularly tight either.
