on seeing other pictures posted … If he had just gone down the road 100 yrds it wouldn’t look so dramatic … its all due to the signage saying keep left turn left no right turn …having a 10mt cheese wedge rear steer he would have had no problem turning anywhere…
Like I said 100yrds down the road and spin it
100 yards down the road and there would’ve been traffic - it’s not always about the place as much as the timing
OnlyAlan:
Mark my words - following his sat-nav, and it is a probably TomTom 5150.
I know the junction well enough and my sat-nav is convinced I can turn right there.
Have you done an alteration on it, and uploaded the change? If a few people do that it’ll update everyone elses that plugs in

that manouver may be on his route plan to get to the Toscco express store down that road, and may be the best route to get to it in a truck!
The risk assessment clearly states use lemon st/mansell st to return to the A11.
Plain lazyness.
Unless you know the area, the risk assessment directions don’t mean crap to you, they might do at certain points in the journey, but then you’d be reading them whilst driving
Thoroughly decent chappie in the car said two or three times that it was unbelievable, and poor pedestrian had to run for her life while this rabid lorry driver careened round that island. I totally agree that everything larger than a car should be banned from London so that chappies like the affronted one in the vid’ can go and pick up their purchases from rdc’s that would all be situated not less than 50 miles from the outskirts of greater London. Think of how much better the pollution would be without those awful child squashing, murdering, thundering, polluting juggernauts being aimed by ■■■■■■, murdering and thieving low life scum on the road… Oh hang on, how many cars would have to get to these rdc’s every day; I hadn’t thought of that. Mind you, all those bikes could ride safely ever after knowing that they only had to contend with cars being driven by angels who never put a foot wrong. Even car use would rapidly decline because they’d all have at least a 100 mile round trip to get fuel.
U turns is one of the great things about artics, they’re so easy to drive, although they were better before they put that extra bit in front of the king pin. I did a u turn in Leytonstone High road once, there wasn’t quite room and a I shook a lamp post rather alarmingly. I did as shepherds do and got the flock out of there.
And while we’re on the subject what on earth was wrong with that car driver having a stretch, haven’t we all driven for miles steering with one knee while making a cup of tea or rolling a ■■■?
I always thought careening was cleaning off the bottom of a boat. That takes some skill especially whilst u turning an artic…but I was wrong it means what the DM was on about too.
