The way he was driving just look liked he snapped and didn’t give a ■■■■ about anything purposely smashing it up but then he gets out and his body language is totally different like “what the hell have I done”.
Weird.
Shouldn’t be driving though.
Basic physics, if the length of the trailer is longer than the width of the road then it won’t spin round 
iceman1:
not the poor fella, but if he didnt like reversin he could of jacknifed as he did and uncoupled then got back under at a diferent angle but he should nt of been in that position anyway but hay ho,
How could he?? He had already gone past the dimensional limit when he smashed the granny out of the unit on the side of his trailer… Not mention the trailer would have started going backwards and about 10ft into the woods behind even if he did.
Blind panic until he gets out and calms down 
there was no need for all that damage

To be fair he did try to minimise that problem by trying to drive the unit across the verge it’s just that it was inconsiderately designed with a hill and it was too soft.I’m betting that the phone call was to complain about the offroad capabilities of the unit and the way it seemed to fall to bits when it was subjected to some reasonable shunting which should be expected during an ordinary working day. 
looks like paid Peanuts got a MONKEY 
it wont let me watch it on my tablet, can anyone put it on you tube?
Or is it the yank video thats already been posted?
That doesn’t surprise me with some of the oxygen thiefs I’ve witnessed driving for the big us carriers.

Same video as the one on Youtube that’s been posted.
Dave the Renegade:
What a mess. I can’t understand how someone can sit and film that,without getting out and trying to help the bloke.

why 
what use would your average car driver be…in that situation
I say chap…do you know your lorry is disintegrating…oh is it,i was wondering what those pieces of bodywork were doing lying in the road.
probably explains the loud cracking noises aswell

I once ended up in a situation that i could not continue forwards , as i took the wrong turning (this was at a car plant) as they had put up width restrictors to stop HGV’s using that entrance, I had a go at jacking it round as it was probably just under a mile of reversing ,as it started to bog down on one side,and i didn’t want to chance getting stuck blocking the road, Didn’t damage the unit or tlr, apart from a few miles less on the clutch 
It did cross my mind to drop the legs and uncouple part way around to get a better position,at one point,but as the cars where building up ,i decided not to, and submitted to a long.slow reverse and out onto a roundabout lucky it was fairly quiet at the time,
I,ve done the Canadian class one with air and the only reversing I had to do was in a straight line to do a highway turnaround.
Thanks for putting the vid up Tachograph, it helps those of us who’ll have nothing to do with Facetube!
It seems to me that the driver had some sort of mental breakdown tbh. We can all watch the clip and see what he SHOULD have done and I doubt many if any of us would have tried it quite the way he did. Hey ho, I always say don’t judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes. That way if you still think he’s a ■■■■ you’re a mile away and you still have his shoes!
From the camera perspective it looks like the trailer might have fitted anyway?
Blimey, fair play for not hitting the bridge but there comes a point when you just need to stop and take a breath, that point was about 10 seconds in to the video, I reckon some of them are too bone idle to get out of the wagon & have a look. Could he not reverse in a straight line?
Mmmmmmm … So how many of you have found yourself facing the situation where you turn a corner and find a bridge is lower than expected, & had to turn around or back it up?
forgive me TN for I have (almost) sinned
Only last week I found myself facing such a situation, at the back of the Sheffield Meadowhall centre near the park & ride, not far from the N/B on ramp of M1 J34.
The drop is a regular 1 on the Roman Ridge ind est just beyond the bridge, all the regular trailers for this haulier are 13ft 10" the bridge is 14ft 3".
Despite me asking em to live load me using the 13ft 10" trailer I had on previously, they loaded the 16 pallets on a 4.4m spare trailer.
I missed the spotting the bridge height sign due to traffic, so as soon as I swung it right at the lights, the sight of the bridge stopped me, pulling over, hazards on, traffic around me, I blindsided it into the car park entrance on the left, with the few cars trying to exit the car park realising my plight, the trailer is around 3" too high so I had to turn around. My 1st effort I found myself mounting the O/S curb, too close to a road sign to clear it, so a quick shunt I was able cleanly reverse it into the car park gateway, & head off past the railway station & approach via another route.

Had two really memorable reverses, one in Wales, missed a road sign where the main road goes left and carried on along what i thought was the major road, wrong, about 5 miles later i come upon a narrow bridge made out of planks of wood laid across the frame, 7.5 ton apparently but i wouldn’t try a 7.5 tonner on it…had to reverse about 2 miles to find a wide enough farm entrance.
Couple of years ago, B road middle of the night, serious possibly fatal accident ahead just happened road going to be shut for hours, reverse about 1 mile till an entrance appeared, that was interesting.
Crap happens, it goes with the job, bloody glad didn’t have a wag and drag with an A frame trailer either time mind…
happened me a couple of times already in my short driving career, I just move across to the other side of the road and reverse back until I can find a suitable gap to get turned around and then im away, jobs a good’un 
I had to reverse and blind side into a cul de sac in maidenhead on my first day at a new company after I missed the sign for the bridge, in my defence it was partially covered by bushes, they saw me on tracker as well
