What happened there, with this Scania which looks registered in some Central-European country?

Froggy55 usually its satnav that gets these trucks into places they should not even attempt but is a frequent occurrence, Buzzer

Buzzer, it seems like they don’t have to be driving a truck.

That’s exactly why I still use road maps!

Me too. Still using paper maps and Mk1 brain.
Aye, but paper maps don’t warn you of fixed speed cameras. 
After retirement and coming ‘off the road’ my Garmin sat nav in the car is worth it’s weight in gold.

I think even Thunderbirds would struggle to rescue that 
He definitely needed steered axles on his semi-trailer.

Clearly not the sharpest pencil in the box I’d say! You’d know immediately, several vehicle-lengths back, that you weren’t going to make the next hairpin…
Mind you, I do have a little sympathy for him. During one of the French lorry drivers’ strikes I took a little back-road over the Pyrenees from Spain and it was as tight as you dare! I could just get round the corkscrew hairpins but the rear under-run bar of my trailer kept scraping on the road. Hairy, but I got through with no problems and gained a day and half on my colleagues. Mind you, I was using a truckers’ atlas not a sat-nav.

A decent map, of suitable scale, will obviously show the routes available but also contour lines that will indicate the severity of hills. Maps are very useful.

I wonder what happened there. No damage on the Berliet TRK 10’s cab.

Looks like an ongoing run-away backwards situation to me 
I think they did fit handbrakes to Berliets
Easily done actually if you just forget to knock it out of p.t.o … I feel for the lad .
