I suppose the most obvious question no one is asking why the flip was a hgv with a trailer at a car pump anyway? Or do some countries not have dedicated hgv pumps?

And even if he had no choice but to be there why didn’t he wait until the car had finished and gone??
Numbskull without a brain that shouldn’t be driving a truck either tbh worse probably than the idiot who got himself in the way of the truck.

There are any number of filling stations here in UK where there are no dedicated HGV pumps (or even if they have them, where said pumps are simply placed on a regular island along with the car pumps, with the only difference being a larger nozzle with higher throughput).

I am aware there are plenty of garages without dedicated hgv pumps and often the canopies are not really high enough or forecourts big enough to use a non dedicated hgv pump. Given most car pumps will cut off around 100 quid it would make filling a hgv very tedious anyway.
And yes they may have hgv pumps next to car pumps but in my experience they are always at one end or the other of normal pumps. Not right next to it like in that video.
But why would anyone try to use a normal garage forecourt to fuel an artic was my point. It’s just plain daft.

Thank you. That’s scary to watch.

Thankfully it’s 100 litres that they cut off at, otherwise many cars would not be able to fill up.
Also, you can hang up and start again without moving, but might be restricted from doing that more than once!

It’s perfectly normal practice to use the regular pumps on the forecourt, and there are loads of places where there are either no dedicated HGV pumps or they are simply installed on the same island alongside the regular car pumps. Used to do it on almost a daily basis at various places on the way back to the depot until our lot got a Biofuel tank in the yard. If they do cut off (at 100 litres, rather than £100 in my experience) you just replace the nozzle and go again. The cashier glances over, sees the lorry on the pump and simply releases the pump. Daft or not, it’s the way it’s done.
