There's a rule for that where i'm from, (The Netherlands) You're only allowed to turn the fog lights on if your sight is reduced to 50 meters due to fog, heavy snowfall, or really, REALLY heavy rain. We also have rear fog lights, But those aren't allowed to be turned on in heavy rain.
I drove a Scania for the first time last week. I didn't know what I was missing until now. I respect every driver who keeps their unit spotless (or as clean as possible). It takes a lot of effort, especially when the truck goes on and off construction sites. The mud is horrendous this time of year. But doing it regularly helps a great deal.
terrible trucks. The vast majority are poverty spec shit heaps and the rest are great sounding v8 shit heaps. Those fancy V8s sound great for 10 minutes but after a 13 hour shift you want nothing more to do with them.
Auto headlights are the bain of my life. I drive evening / nights and see loads of cars in low light condition with just DRL's on because the dashboard says there lights are on ( but not at the back !! ) . Best view of bradford I suggest is in fog. 🤣 Great content as usual.
I totally agree. Shocking car design that does this, and, not alert the driver if their main lamp is off. Then again, a shocking number of these drivers would not know how to manually turn on their headlights. Auto = brain disconnect.
Auto headlights are good. DRL's are frigging horrible. Main Culprits seem to be Renaults and Nissans who don't turn even rear lights on with DRLs. They're already way too bright at night, but no rear lights on is bloody stupid. Volvo did it best, headlights on all the time, front and rear... Problem non-existent... But i think their new Masters at Geely have removed this because of DRLs too.
I’ve been pulled before with tiles as well. The guy explained that each tile has a trace amount of radiation on it because they’re usually made from clay, and when you have a box full of them, that radiation is enough to trip the sensors at the exit. Think it’s called bentonite or something similar to that. Bit of a scary thing to happen when you’re not expecting it, especially when the border force guy winds you up and asks if you have a dirty bomb on board 😂
Holy moly such an amazing video. I passed my test with class one in Gillingham 2 weeks ago I'm still waiting for my first job yet😂😂 I live by the city airport London if anybody knows anybody taking on new drivers let you know thank you so much but it must be good pay smashing that like 👍
Love these videos mate. Im doing my class 1 course at the moment and watching these videos has really enlightened me on what ive got coming in the near future! keep it up
good to see you picking up the two parts of the seal & putting them safe , containers come into the depot I work out of & the pin parts are left on the floor & have caused several punctures , so many they have put a sign up (though it seems many drivers dropping off containers don't take any notice or cant read ) very commendable
I know what you mean about music, I listen to podcasts or audio books these days, been a good 10 years since I blasted tunes lol. I used to like Radio 4 extra when I drove a van with digital radio, lots of plays and old comedy shows.
Awesome Raul I always hungry at 10am bc you start so early. I loved doing containerized as real easy work .your a good operator buddy do everything right buddy love your videos keep them coming have a great week buddy.😊😊
Great video as usual my friend. Please keep posting them. Still never had a scania so don't know what I'm missing at all! Really happy in my new to Me 72 plate Daf xf 530. Oh sweet mate,such a lovely truck & I don't know why no one seems to like Dafs? So we'll designed inside as to what I want,so comfy & ❤ x
Great video and good to see triaxle trailers, i have been watching a few American truck youtubers videos and none of them use triaxle like you do or us in Australia. Cheers.
I think you said you had tiles on when you got stopped by border control, si what i know from driving canada into U. S, is that earth products like tiles can set off the Radiation detection scanners.
Ned Kelly Trucker often says you need your head examined to be doing containers. Albiet around Dublin port as your stuck in traffic a lot amongst other cons.
My questions is why you driving with extended trailer if you have a small container. Why not to retract trailer and have smaller and more maneuverable rig
It's not designed to work like that. It's not illegal to be pulled short as far as i know, but it acts funny. Kinda like you are pulling a trailer without EBS
Driving in fog at night is really scarey. The number of fools speeding, overtaking and no lights on is unbelievable. Even in daylight visibility is severely restricted at night even more. It best to avoid driving if you can in fog. I love how Raul makes all this super sexy nevertheless. He is so gorgeous my glasses fog up when I see him on here..
Nice Scania especially with it having a microwave in it👍Where are you based Manchester or Liverpool and do you just deliver in the NW England or do you go all over the country?
Speed limits are being reduced all over the place. Roads that were 50 suddenly become 40 overnight with no justification. ALTHOUGH, the temporary 50 signs could be in regards to the crash barriers. As far as i'm aware, this is the case for the M48 in South Wales, the crash barriers have exceeded their life span and need to be replaced, although not until 2024!
Further up the M62 on the way to Hull there's a huge section that's currently 30MPH. Couldn't believe what i was seeing. As usual though, no one there doing anything.
@@Daveyengland Highway Code (rule 226): Fog lights should only be used in the fog, when visibility drops below 100 metres (328 feet). Use your common sense. If the fog is so severe that you’re struggling to see other vehicles, switch on your fog lights. Take note: the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 prohibits the use of front and rear fog lights to dazzle other drivers when visibility is not reduced or when the vehicle is parked.
Find 50 and 60 mph limits all over now,all about getting people used to lower limits the inteenational energy agency want and to 'reduce air pollution ',go figure?
Disagree, that's not fog it's just mist and no need for bloody fog lights. It really annoys me the amount of arseholes using fog lights when it rains or just a light mist as in your video, I've driven in proper fog where you can't see anything that's when you use rear fogs. Listening to the radio these days is crap, I was in London last week listened to LBC not great but better than the other crap so it's audio books for me.
You always know if a driver has gone through fog because the fog light will still be on 5 years later.
There's a rule for that where i'm from, (The Netherlands)
You're only allowed to turn the fog lights on if your sight is reduced to 50 meters due to fog, heavy snowfall, or really, REALLY heavy rain.
We also have rear fog lights, But those aren't allowed to be turned on in heavy rain.
@@The_One_Over_There Here in the UK it's when visibility is less than 100 meters, any more then it's a traffic offense.
😂😂😂
In Ireland I’m sure the car dealers turn them on and then remove the button.
Hi Raul

I like the longer videos. I've always enjoyed your content, appreciate your work. Take it easy

Best of luck dude. Smash it!
Good luck!
Did u pass? Done the practical yet?

Excellent video thanks very much for posting cheers.
Limestone tiles as a load?
They can set off the CO2 detector the border force uses to detect people breathing in the containers.
1:43 I see what you did there lol, nice job as always Raul ;)
Never Done Containers, This was Quite Interesting.
Enjoyed your vlog great advise thank you 👍👍😀😀
I rarely listen to music. Mostly podcasts. Doing this job I get through a lot
Great video. You should have the pins in position 3 with a laden 20 foot box. VOSA will not be happy if they stop you.
Super video thanks mate 👍 👌 👍🙌👋🤝🚚🚚🚚💪
Good stuff pal good stuff
Ned Kelly Trucker often says you need your head examined to be doing containers. Albiet around Dublin port as your stuck in traffic a lot amongst other cons.
Not that bad around Liverpool area
very interesting. thank goodness for power stearing.
Hi Raul, that Scania cab looks great (1:36). Is the whole Scania experience as good as it looks (to me as a layman?).
It is the most comfortable truck in my opinion. Everything about it is spot on
Always foggy on m62😂 yeh it does get very thick sometimes
I wish they were a force.
My questions is why you driving with extended trailer if you have a small container. Why not to retract trailer and have smaller and more maneuverable rig

Southampton is just 5 min before and after the vbs time allocated I think I’m not sure
Nice Scania especially with it having a microwave in it👍Where are you based Manchester or Liverpool and do you just deliver in the NW England or do you go all over the country?
Based in Liverpool mate, just local deliveries in the NW 👍
Majority of folk don’t seem to use their lights whilst following at 1 second distance. Crazy fools!
usually its the radiation level (from certain chemicals) that sets their alarm off
3:00 might be noise reduction around residential areas...

Bro was a 5 minute drive from my house 💀
OMG, I enjoy your videos but you should never spray that stuff or anything similar on LCD screens.n
Great
New Tacho in scania rula video on it to one in cf
Enjoy video
Hate these new limits being enforced speed limits from 70 to 50 going to cause more problems not eradicate them
🚛👍👍
Foglights to be used when visibility is below 100 metres. Visibility looks way better than that
You don’t know what you’re talking about bro. You put your fog lights on in these conditions. I suggest you stick to walking 😂
@@Daveyenglandhe’s right though..

@@kevinmc407 - I’m fine, with regards to driving licenses, thanks 👍

No need for fog lights in that visibility. Headlights are fine.
Um, no. The visibility was heavily reduced and fog lights should be turned on.
@@Daveyengland Um, no. Visibility is clearly more than 100m.
@@VictheSecret - um, no. I wouldn’t feel safe driving by you on the roads.
@@Daveyengland Um, yes. You're the sort that puts fog lights on in barely misty conditions and snow, dazzling everyone behind them.
I’m more of a radio 2 or radio 4 man myself, can’t stand none of that boom boom music anymore.
