Yeah, but there is a racetrack there as well so all the horseboxes go there, and the tv crews, and cherrypickers…
You see where I’m going with this 
The most stupid thing that nearly happened to me was when I was driving an empty skelly in Swiss. There are no guard rails round Swiss skellies. It was lunch time in this town & school had just come out. I passed this teenage Swiss ■■■■■■■ her moped.Had to stop at the light by a high kerb.She came up behind me the drove her bike on the pavement then parked her bike half way inside the trailer between the twistlock struts. She was sitting N/S. But I just happened to spot her. I had to get out of the truck & tell her to get on the pavement. I don`t think she understands to this day what danger she was in. At first she refused to move…Thinking it was a race or something…

Now that the vast majority of skellies are sliders, they very rarely have side rails in this country either…the result being just the sort of problem you described above! 
My worry is that these lorries have large protruding wing mirrors and one day some unfortunate pedestrian will be hurt.
Can lorries be told to fold in their wing mirrors when coming through Southwell? – RAY PEARSON, Burgage Close, Southwell.

Someone should offer to take him out and around in an Artic or Rigid so he can see for himself the dangers involed in folding mirrors in
Wat would the DSA say to this if they read what he’s asking??
But then wat do we Lorry Drivers know? One of the most inportant things I was taught whilst on my Class C course and C+E was MIRRORS MIRRORS MIRRORS, I went to bed dreaming of Mirrors the night before my test!!
I bet he has a pacamack on all weathers. I always seem to get mr pacamack when I’m desperate for directions
Shame on you all . . . well almost all.
Perhaps Mr. Pillock and others like him would benefit from a little ‘edukashun’ into just what it takes to safely negotiate ANYTHING bigger than a chelsea tractor through the narrow, tight, winding streets of Southwell.
One of the joys of driving a recovery truck is chatting with passengers, when they (quite often) take an interest in what is probably the first truck they have ever ridden in. I always use it as an excuse to point out to them the reasons we do things that might annoy them, and why when they do certain things it BLOODY ANNOYS US !
I have yet to come across a single person, who has driven nothing bigger than their car, who understands what ‘square wheeling’ is, why we do it, and how it can benefit them as well !
So, before we embarrass ourselve’s by setting out to ridicule Mr. Pillock, perhaps we should first attempt to show him how proffessional we are in the job that we do and point out to him and his like just how unlikely it is that he’d be struck by our mirrors . . . despite his ‘Lemming’ like attempts to hinder our progress.
Well done Mr Driver top letter 
and Mr Turton both letters were printed in the local paper this week thanks for your support i await replies next week from the citizens of no lorry town.
But if it reduces the one in a billion chance of a 6ft 6in high person being struck then we must comply with this request with the utmost immediacy.
My fiance is 6 ft 6. He has never yet been hit by a truck mirror, though he has been slapped by the driver a couple of times.

Well done folks. Good to see we are keeping the elderly population on their toes. Just think - if they had their way, there would be no wagons to deliver their blenders to liquidise their food for them. That would play real havoc with their false teeth!!
