Ten out of ten definitely.
Shop front to shop front the trailer looks too long for this doomed turn around, when did drivers stop doing the obvious (like pacing things out) before attempting the impossible.
Is that abroad as the shop name is ? The photo reminds me of the Hermes trailer that jackknifed in the snow on an English motorway and footage of the stricken/stranded vehicle was all over the tv .
Not sure how Mr Hermes could jackknife it on a straight road with no gradient, they shut the motorway but traffic could have got past him ok on the Lane that was passable.
But he was wearing a high visibility vest that saved the day .
^^^^^^ and at what point would anyone even half sensible say “nah, this isn’t gonna happen. Perhaps I’ll be better off reversing out the way I came in”?

To be fair he’s not had the chance to try to complete the turn at that point.
Maybe the driving test doesn’t view the ability to reverse as being as important in some places so doing whatever it takes to turn it is far preferable than trying to reverse out.
Maybe he’s just delivering to the butchers shop and wanted to make it as simple as possible to deliver straight through the opening window shop front.He’ll straighten it up and reverse out after he’s tipped it. 
Epic knob headry 
He pulls forward he ■■■■■ s up, he reverses he ■■■■ s up. 
He should just get all his kit together, get out, lock up,.abandon the job, and thumb it home before any damage is done.

This one has to be worthy of some sort of prize.
At Tesco we had similar areas in which we would have to turn.
We’d usually have a banksman though.
Seems a bit stupid attempting it in the snow.
Lorry looks a little big for being there as well.
Would of been fine with a 12m trailer.

you’d struggle with a 12m I reckon, unless rear steer
Nice one, my guess would be Norway. Maybe Milodon got the itch again after being out of the game for a bit but forgot how long he was! Oops sorry mate couldn’t resist.
At least he was carrying(but not using) snow chains

It’s really quite easy. It happened on the slope down to Scammonden dam on the westbound side. Only 1 lane was in use due to the snow. Truck in front was going too slow for his liking so went to overtake him in lane 2 which was mostly fresh snow. Steering wheel kicked as he tried to cross the ridge of snow between lane 1 and 2, lost traction and ended up losing control and jack-knifed across the carriageway. If he’d had a bag of grit and a shovel he could have got out of it but he wasn’t able to get any traction on the snow where he ended up so was stuck there until help arrived.
He’s not stuck, he’s loading NON EU CITIZENS through the roof for a trip to the UK
when he’s loaded he can simply reverse back round and be on his way with the seal still intact
Lol the person yelling at him from out the window above the trailer 
At a guess I’d say that Billy Bogdan forgot he wasn’t driving the farm tractor he passed his test on 
like to see the final pictures lol

Guys correct me if im wrong, but shouldnt the driver have uncoupled it at that position if kingpin would come off, then with the unit go around the block(if not a dead end) and couple from that position then continue with day?

When you got yourself in that position your not getting out without damaging something.
