on a mission

this was posted on another site i use :open_mouth:

Is it just me or does the combination of the low mounting height of the camera and the rear steering of the trailer not make it look worse than it is?

is it just me BUT when the the artic driver indicates to pull over the light is flashing just a teeny bit too fast? maybe the video has been slightly speeded up to make it look faster=worse.

Looks to me like someone following a low loader.

Next.

I like the comments underneath, people thinking that he’s managed to ā€œdriftā€ the rear of the trailer :unamused: :laughing:

Not sure what the problem is here… It’s almost certainly been speeded up, and with the low angle and wide lens it looks much worse than it actually was in reality.

Some people have go too much time on their hands.

I preferred watching Ania perform :stuck_out_tongue:

Can’t see any problem. Looks like the camera’s on a motorbike.

Not seeing a problem. That’s what those trailers are designed to do. Next.

I can’t help feeling a sense of hypocrisy watching a bike filming some ā€œdangerous drivingā€!

I suppose if you didnt understand rear steering you could get confused :confused:

Me too, did i miss something?

according to youtube an astra loses it’s mirror at 1:18 and people say he’s going too fast. He managed to miss both other lorrys mirrors just before lol

Well if someone said it on youtube then it must be true… :smiley:

Nothing wrong there, rear steer trailer thats all.

Now you have pointed it out i see the mirror but what i don’t see is the back end of the trailer actually go over the white line as it happens and those type of trailers the back it is the widest point. So in my opinion the astra was hugging his side of the white or on it. You often see car drivers go chalk white as you come round a bend at speed even though you can hold your lane they steal too much road.

As for his speed it is extremely hard to judge on footage, ive filmed journeys even if your doing 30mph it looks much faster on screen but i put it to anyone on here that he couldn’t hold most of those corners at above 40mph and he does. There is only one instance where he gets close to another artic think it is the last one before the village.

That fact someone has took the trouble to upload this even cut and edit a little over a mirror that has naff all to do with them speaks volumes about this sad ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–
