The weight and turning circle are what decides how the tipper will complete a turn on a roundabout. The cammer has never drove a truck to understand the limitations!
As a former transport manager I can appreciate the drivers difficulty. The real question is why on earth wasn't there a restriction on HGV's using such an unsuitable lane ?
Prolly was an “Unsuitable for HGVs” somewhere. That said, they were never making that bend so shouldn’t have even tried, once they knew. I guess no mirror check.
what if that lane was where the delivery was? do you expect 27 transit to deliver one ton at a time? Who says there wasnt a restriction but it still wouldnt stop it getting used
@@JL-rx6hl legally speaking you are correct, but that turn is just not possible in in more than a 7.5 tonner imho. Ideally either an alternate route should have been planned or sought upon seeing the sign (if there is one), but that turn should have been taken far slower, and shunts added to try to get that trailer over more. Thanks to a 20yard road closure in London I found myself cuffing it after 9pm (“London Lorry Ban” territory) and at one point got myself jammed in a box junction at traffic lights turning right, I was shunting for 5 mins much to the annoyance of local traffic and the ubiquitous 3 busses to get that trailer over or I’d have taken out a keep left bollard And a light pole. I guarantee that junction is covered by CCTV for box junction fines, & expected one, but because I was moving & managed to clear; nothing. Nor was there a TFL fine for being over the 16.5 Tonne weight limit overnight. (We have exemptions for the area, but not That way; I actually phoned the Met for a reference number for the incident just in case, once back at base.

Did a chunk of the video get cut off from the start? I'm wondering if the cyclist is getting revenge for the lorry cutting him off earlier maybe? Otherwise why the feck would he put this footage online? If there was no reason for it then yes, he's a right Jeremy Hunt.
Why on earth do cyclists moan when vehicles pass them too close and yet are quite content to put themselves at danger by going into the same narrow spaces beside a moving vehicle and placing themselves in a blind spot??
Like most cyclists, and thats from experience. So many are arrogant and think they can do as they please, obsessed with the law being on their side yet they flout the highway code at every opportunity. They usually have a helmet cam as well, just to piss car drivers off with the “its going on UA-cam mate” line. Wayne Kerrs.
The turning circle on an 8 wheeler is very large in comparison to a car or an artic unit. So, dumb comment from someone without hands-on experience of all types.
@@Professor-Scientist because the overall effective wheelbase is longer on an 8x4 tipper than you average 4x2 or 6x2 tractor units and even 6x4 tractor units, it is also larger than your edge case (uncommon) 8x6 and 8x8 tractor units, the effective wheelbase on an 8x4 etc is from the centre point of axle 1 and 2 to the centre point of axle 3 and 4, also keep in mind the the maximum steering axle of a single axle on the front of a 4x2 or 6x# is often greater than the maximum effective steering axle on twin-steer. remember the semi trailer only dictates turning circle if there is an implicit obstacle, and in the case of a mini roundabout it is not an obstacle, thus the turning circle of the tractor unit would the the limiting factor at THAT mini roundabout. and while the driver of the 8x4 tipper could have done a better job they were well within their legal right to do what they did.
The UK is probably one of the worst places to drive in if you're a lorry driver. The roads are just too narrow, and the fact that the route planners planning the journey dont even care to find the safest and easiest route possible just makes it even worse.
While working on new road building I asked a County civil engineer why lane aren't made wider at corners and bends, to allow truck drivers to stay within the road markings. Easily done when building roads as most have room to spare, his answer was mainly cost and that car drivers would squeeze another row of cars in.
I used to drive for a company that did seasonal contracts, the Autumn contract was delivering Christmas hampers to residential addresses in North Wales, night outs, the company said that 7 1/2 tonners with sleeper cabs were too expensive to hire so we got 17 tonners instead, what an absolute nightmare, every year negotiating tiny single track roads in the Welsh countryside, i completely ripped the front bumper off one truck trying to turn around after delivering to a house at a long winding dead end road.

@@Raggerty-j4c I have driven vehicles from the Mini upwards to an eight axle mobile crane, when car driving I do give trucks etc. a wide berth. Allow them onto roundabouts, pull out to overtake on hills as the seconds it cost me can be quickly made up. There has always been those who need to be first in line to the next traffic light, yet I've never seen one get a prize. I took the Advanced Drivers Course and tips I got from the police driving instructor has made driving a pleasure. Also passengers do not have to stamp holes in the floor trying to find a foot brake on the passenger side.
Give your journeys a bit more time. Keep a bit more distance between vehicles. Show a bit of restraint and a bit more patience. If everyone did this the roads would be a safer and less stressful place to be.
Lorry drivers in South Wales remove their rear number plates so that they can speed through the 50mph sections and use lane 3 to overtake. Zero police presence means zero chance of getting caught.
That's an old trick used when I was a kid, another is two or more on the same reg. They work for a while and then the cops get them, along with the chain hanging down over the plate, black electric tape turning a 5 to 6 etc. Up on the NW Coast they will be caught in double quick time, near the police college.
Only today I had a lorry 2yards from my rear bumper in 50mph traffic on M1 North bound,I was on the inside lane as was exiting at next junction,I was keeping up with traffic so wasn't slowing him down,I eventually wound my window down and gave him 2 fingers,to which he then decided to overtake!TWAT!

A lady had that happen on the A48 but it was an artic trailer full of coal. Truck miss judged a stream running alongside the road and dropped the truck into it spilling the load. The lady's coal shed was full by next morning.
At 5@18, the black car brake checked the lorry driver, there were no cars coming from the right and he put his foot on the brake. The insurance will probably blame the car driver and maybe the police should have been called.
I hope that the artic driver in the first clip wasn’t using a car sat nav as no way should that road have been on a planned route for,such a long vehicle. Don’t know why the cyclist posted his Jewson clip, he was breaking all sorts of highway rules and riding dangerously. The HGV at 4’30” was just completely illegal all the way round! By the way, somebody ought to proof read their subtitles for spelling, grammar and syntax!
At 3:46, first you drove on his left side even though everywhere he has to give you six feet of space. Then you became one of those goons on a bike that just wanted to hold him up rather than ride in the bus lane, it is no wonder that drivers have low opinions of cyclists.
0:57 no he couldn't do that in one. Tippers steer like shit, good at speed but manoeuvring they're terrible, I found that DAFs are the worst but MANs and Scania's are much better but still wouldn't have made that in one.
4:01, we Dutch also pass vehicles between the pavement and vehicles. It is normal. But if you are allowed to bike on the bus lane, then do that and do not block other traffic. If he was not allowed to do so, then it was okay.
You can see the buslane ends pretty quick, so honestly it probably wasn't worth it as he wasn't turning left further ahead. Just the typical road toxicity, biker would be the type of person to brake check people. Bikes are considered traffic here in the UK too by the way, cars got to treat them like another car, as our high way code hints. Bikes don't yield to the left unless they want to be overtaken, that's pretty much the general rule, but they have to treat lanes the same way, so if there's an arrow turning left, the biker cannot go forward. But people ignore the rules because they're bikers which is so frustrating to see.
@@JonathanDavidsonn ofcourse they are traffic. Pedestrians are traffic. Person in a wheelchair in the street is traffic. Maybe you mean driver. Yes, they are drivers. Person on a horse is a driver, person on a moped is a driver. Thus the cyclist is allowed to drive in front of that vehicle. I think, as a Dutch and used to cyclists ( we all are a cyclist here) that he did nothing wrong. But we learn to keep to the side of the road. So, he did okay. They better make a protected cycle path there and thus take away a car lane.
@@gerhard6105 Yeah I'm not disagreeing it's more so our country's main division in mentality lately I wanted to specifically highlight, they don't think of cyclists as another road user, more like an annoying pedestrian. But yeah I hope the biker did go straight forward on that junction further ahead otherwise they're an even worse knob. Absolutely love the cycling infrastructure in your country. I mostly cycle using trails rather than using roads because of uncaring drivers :')
All things considered, in my experience truck drivers aren't generally bad but where they do seem to lose their shit is through roadworks on motorways with average speed cameras. They just go into moronic tailgating mode. I'd have cops in unmarked cars constantly patrolling motorway roadworks and any trucker using his truck as a weapon to intimidate should lose his licence immediately.
It's said the section of the road widening works on the M1 near Dunstable made more money off the average speed cameras than the cost of the widening works.
@@Raggerty-j4c A lot of tailgating is to stop others cutting in. I know it's not right to tailgate but try leaving the correct thinking, braking gap and I bet up will have to slow up and make it again.
@@TheByard So you believe deliberately giving yourself no braking distance by tailgating is the best way to defend your braking distance? That's the most bizarre reply I've ever read.
Why moan about a trucker in front of the police no point so what your stuck behind him many people in life are worse off than stuck behind a truck people with cancer and disability’s n stuff and your moaning didn’t even need to be on this stupid clip
5:16, lorry driver must behave with a big truck with maybe a big load worth loads of money and with a truck worth loads of many. He must drive defensive and not let him get mad to get involved/ play the games. Very unprofessional. What ever the Mercedes driver does.
2:06 You were in the wrong lane too. That's a spiral roundabout. Lanes are clearly marked and you are supposed to get in the correct lane as you enter then simply follow the spiral out wards to your exit. If you have to change lanes inwards, you fucked up.
4:00 his instant rage holds him up. the bike would have been away faster than you, then you would have been stopped by the bike already ahead in the bus lane. screaming at people for costing you 0 seconds, usually means they will treat you like a twat. if you are screaming at someone, you know they are there so there isnt that excuse ppl will no doubt give
No twat on bicycle was causing it all for his cam. But all is not lost i know know that driver and when go see him weekend i will see his dash cam as it's on his one and twat on bike is along there often so me and another buddy will be out on our bikes and give him a friendly track style shoulder hook up into a stationary object. Had one a few years back giving me yap when i asked where his lights was and front brake! started getting lippy he didn't need brakes etc as fixed wheel etc etc then i showed why need brakes as shoulder hooked him and he was last seen flying through back window of a car!. Act like a Cnut get treated like one.Simple.
3:55 I think that is unfair to use rude language to describe this cyclists actions. Had the cyclist moved into the bus lane, you can almost guarantee the Jewson lorry driver would have left hooked them turning into that side road. The road position was defensive cycling.
@@anoncyclist2131Rules of the Road says "Going straight ahead (any exit between 6 o’clock and the 12 o’clock position) Approach in the left-hand lane (unless road markings say otherwise) but do not indicate ‘left’ until you have passed the exit before the one you intend to take. Where traffic conditions dictate otherwise, for example a long line of traffic in the left lane signalling left or roadworks in the left lane, you may follow the course shown by the red line." They do not say "if you are in an HGV and wish to run a small white car off the road then follow the course of the red line even though there is only one lane on the roundabout exit.
From my experience, lorry drivers are very probably the worst 'drivers' on the road, followed closely by taxi drivers. They just don't seem to give a dam. Sadly, the majority seem to spoil it for the good few.
Although I haven’t encountered many bad lorry drivers in my time, I have seen untold amounts of bad taxi drivers. They’re much worse than Uber drivers, in my opinion.
The consequences of lorry drivers getting it wrong is often catastrophic They have to be better than everyone else and I reckon they usually are But when they are bad it really shows
I feel I have to mention here, the vast majority of lorry drivers in the UK are at the top of their profession. Professional, hard-working, excellent drivers. I've had my life saved, as a biker, more times than I can count by a truck driver, and half the issues that arrive are because of other drivers not understanding how a lorry works, where it needs to be placed to get round a corner, and generally being a jerk
'I've had my life saved, as a biker, more times than I can count by a truck driver.' Really? I've been riding motorbikes since 1983 and my life has never been saved by a truck driver. I shudder to think how you ride if you're so reliant on truckers to save your life.
@@Raggerty-j4c I've been riding for 40 years, all over the world, mostly as a civilian, so it's exposure to a million miles of road, not a "reliance", I never said I relied on truckers. Most of the time lorries are big things to move past. However, I've ridden enough to come across the situation where a lorry has warned me of a cager cunt coming up on the inside, or had a lorry wave me back when I was overtaking to warn me of something in the road that HE can see, but I can't yet.

@@Raggerty-j4c I have driven vehicles from the Mini upwards to an eight axle mobile crane, when car driving I do give trucks etc. a wide berth. Allow them onto roundabouts, pull out to overtake on hills as the seconds it cost me can be quickly made up. There has always been those who need to be first in line to the next traffic light, yet I've never seen one get a prize.
I took the Advanced Drivers Course and tips I got from the police driving instructor has made driving a pleasure. Also passengers do not have to stamp holes in the floor trying to find a foot brake on the passenger side.
Was the bike nonce at 3:20 Jeremy Slime?
Give your journeys a bit more time. Keep a bit more distance between vehicles. Show a bit of restraint and a bit more patience. If everyone did this the roads would be a safer and less stressful place to be.
00:46 "Could he have done this better?"
Yes. He could have obeyed rule 188 of the Highway Code: "Avoid making U-turns at mini-roundabouts."
Lorry drivers in South Wales remove their rear number plates so that they can speed through the 50mph sections and use lane 3 to overtake. Zero police presence means zero chance of getting caught.
That's an old trick used when I was a kid, another is two or more on the same reg. They work for a while and then the cops get them, along with the chain hanging down over the plate, black electric tape turning a 5 to 6 etc.
Up on the NW Coast they will be caught in double quick time, near the police college.
Don’t Brake Check Trucks Unless You Want Your Vehicle Fucked Up SIMPLE …
Only today I had a lorry 2yards from my rear bumper in 50mph traffic on M1 North bound,I was on the inside lane as was exiting at next junction,I was keeping up with traffic so wasn't slowing him down,I eventually wound my window down and gave him 2 fingers,to which he then decided to overtake!TWAT!
@@stevennazar2102 my mode of transportation is a wheelchair or mobility scooter , to slow for the road , to fast for the path . The main road through the village is a 7.5 ton weight limit and yet cars vans bikers or truckers use to road - 44 tons - even past the police who do nothing . I was attacked and the police do nothing - I have not been out side now in 12 months . No body cares , nobody helps . The police are just to busy - last month a school girl was knock down and killed on a crossing the truck driver got 18 years ( suspended ) for 20 years . There’s just No justice in the world - I live in England . I’m now to scared to go out - 1 year ago I last went out . I hear you …

Tipper not turning in a oner? You really don't have a clue do you!
That first clip the family will be able to grow giant Brassicas from all that Lime! 🥦🥦🥦
A lady had that happen on the A48 but it was an artic trailer full of coal. Truck miss judged a stream running alongside the road and dropped the truck into it spilling the load. The lady's coal shed was full by next morning.
If you allowed an 8 wheel tipper to have the ability to turn tighter it would fall over , that's why they turn like a barge.
At 5@18, the black car brake checked the lorry driver, there were no cars coming from the right and he put his foot on the brake. The insurance will probably blame the car driver and maybe the police should have been called.
The driver who said typically tipper driver of the opus truck should see that it was a grab lorry no a tipper
It's a tipper fitted with a grab
Clearly you haven't watched Ashville videos
I hope that the artic driver in the first clip wasn’t using a car sat nav as no way should that road have been on a planned route for,such a long vehicle.
Don’t know why the cyclist posted his Jewson clip, he was breaking all sorts of highway rules and riding dangerously.
The HGV at 4’30” was just completely illegal all the way round!
By the way, somebody ought to proof read their subtitles for spelling, grammar and syntax!
At 3:46, first you drove on his left side even though everywhere he has to give you six feet of space. Then you became one of those goons on a bike that just wanted to hold him up rather than ride in the bus lane, it is no wonder that drivers have low opinions of cyclists.
7:12. A BU70URK in a Merc!
Nothing wrong with the second one. What’s the whining about? Some roundabouts are simply too small for lorries.
Interesting how Dashflix reserves their criticism for cyclists ratherthan drivers! Must pander to his main audience I suppose...
0:57 no he couldn't do that in one. Tippers steer like shit, good at speed but manoeuvring they're terrible, I found that DAFs are the worst but MANs and Scania's are much better but still wouldn't have made that in one.
Ha ha, daf are pretty good compared to the scammel routeman and Leyland octopus 8 wheelers I started off on
4:01, we Dutch also pass vehicles between the pavement and vehicles. It is normal. But if you are allowed to bike on the bus lane, then do that and do not block other traffic. If he was not allowed to do so, then it was okay.
You can see the buslane ends pretty quick, so honestly it probably wasn't worth it as he wasn't turning left further ahead.
Just the typical road toxicity, biker would be the type of person to brake check people. Bikes are considered traffic here in the UK too by the way, cars got to treat them like another car, as our high way code hints.
Bikes don't yield to the left unless they want to be overtaken, that's pretty much the general rule, but they have to treat lanes the same way, so if there's an arrow turning left, the biker cannot go forward. But people ignore the rules because they're bikers which is so frustrating to see.
@@JonathanDavidsonn ofcourse they are traffic. Pedestrians are traffic. Person in a wheelchair in the street is traffic. Maybe you mean driver. Yes, they are drivers. Person on a horse is a driver, person on a moped is a driver. Thus the cyclist is allowed to drive in front of that vehicle. I think, as a Dutch and used to cyclists ( we all are a cyclist here) that he did nothing wrong. But we learn to keep to the side of the road. So, he did okay. They better make a protected cycle path there and thus take away a car lane.
This is how we make the street saver: ua-cam.com/video/0WYwakMO1Wk/v-deo.htmlsi=2Rv8XDI8knXoy4at
@@gerhard6105 Yeah I'm not disagreeing it's more so our country's main division in mentality lately I wanted to specifically highlight, they don't think of cyclists as another road user, more like an annoying pedestrian.
But yeah I hope the biker did go straight forward on that junction further ahead otherwise they're an even worse knob.
Absolutely love the cycling infrastructure in your country. I mostly cycle using trails rather than using roads because of uncaring drivers :')
What irks me is that the cyclist slowed significantly and appears to taunt the trucker!
All things considered, in my experience truck drivers aren't generally bad but where they do seem to lose their shit is through roadworks on motorways with average speed cameras. They just go into moronic tailgating mode. I'd have cops in unmarked cars constantly patrolling motorway roadworks and any trucker using his truck as a weapon to intimidate should lose his licence immediately.
It's said the section of the road widening works on the M1 near Dunstable made more money off the average speed cameras than the cost of the widening works.
@@TheByard I can believe that but what has that got to do with tailgating?
@@Raggerty-j4c A lot of tailgating is to stop others cutting in. I know it's not right to tailgate but try leaving the correct thinking, braking gap and I bet up will have to slow up and make it again.
@@TheByard So you believe deliberately giving yourself no braking distance by tailgating is the best way to defend your braking distance? That's the most bizarre reply I've ever read.
Quite a few truck-wits in this video. Seems none of them should hold a CDL.
Why moan about a trucker in front of the police no point so what your stuck behind him many people in life are worse off than stuck behind a truck people with cancer and disability’s n stuff and your moaning didn’t even need to be on this stupid clip
I'm a HGV driver and i work nights and we usually take liberty with traffic rules just out of the sheer fact there's fuxk all nobody around.
Hopefully you'll be caught and banned.
Imagine if we didn't have lorries 🤔
Also , why are lorries driving at 60mph in a 50mph these days ……?
The time clock, rest breaks, timed delivery's, road delays. To name just four.
They're not, they're limited to 56 by law
Dashcam footage is now "Professional raw footage"............LOLZ
Where was the overturned lorry did I miss it
More professional clowns behind the wheels of HGVs
5:41 What a legend. Hahaha 😆 😂 😆
So you admit to taking liberties at night and you think that maniac is funny. I really hope you're banned sooner than later pal.
5:16, lorry driver must behave with a big truck with maybe a big load worth loads of money and with a truck worth loads of many. He must drive defensive and not let him get mad to get involved/ play the games. Very unprofessional. What ever the Mercedes driver does.
Not really that unbelievable though are they !!
2:06 You were in the wrong lane too. That's a spiral roundabout. Lanes are clearly marked and you are supposed to get in the correct lane as you enter then simply follow the spiral out wards to your exit. If you have to change lanes inwards, you fucked up.
Other way round.
Nice .
First clip…………🤣
6:53 Yes, some are "overambitious"! (and You are not?)
4:00 his instant rage holds him up. the bike would have been away faster than you, then you would have been stopped by the bike already ahead in the bus lane.
screaming at people for costing you 0 seconds, usually means they will treat you like a twat. if you are screaming at someone, you know they are there so there isnt that excuse ppl will no doubt give
No twat on bicycle was causing it all for his cam. But all is not lost i know know that driver and when go see him weekend i will see his dash cam as it's on his one and twat on bike is along there often so me and another buddy will be out on our bikes and give him a friendly track style shoulder hook up into a stationary object.
Had one a few years back giving me yap when i asked where his lights was and front brake! started getting lippy he didn't need brakes etc as fixed wheel etc etc then i showed why need brakes as shoulder hooked him and he was last seen flying through back window of a car!. Act like a Cnut get treated like one.Simple.
That first clip... fuckin div
3:55 I think that is unfair to use rude language to describe this cyclists actions. Had the cyclist moved into the bus lane, you can almost guarantee the Jewson lorry driver would have left hooked them turning into that side road. The road position was defensive cycling.
Found the lycra clad bellend. Get out of the way if you can't cycle fast. You look like a nonce in lycra.
5:16 was about to blame the lorry driver until I saw there was no oncoming traffic
What a bellend from the merc
5:50 The lorry driver is doin´his job! - Why are You in a hurry?
defo faster to deal with a crash and death for the guy "just doing his job" to save a few seconds, rather than drive even close to well
@@anoncyclist2131Rules of the Road says "Going straight ahead (any exit between 6 o’clock and the 12 o’clock position)
Approach in the left-hand lane (unless road markings say otherwise) but do not
indicate ‘left’ until you have passed the exit before the one you intend to take.
Where traffic conditions dictate otherwise, for example a long line of traffic in
the left lane signalling left or roadworks in the left lane, you may follow the
course shown by the red line."
They do not say "if you are in an HGV and wish to run a small white car off the road then follow the course of the red line even though there is only one lane on the roundabout exit.
From my experience, lorry drivers are very probably the worst 'drivers' on the road, followed closely by taxi drivers. They just don't seem to give a dam. Sadly, the majority seem to spoil it for the good few.
Although I haven’t encountered many bad lorry drivers in my time, I have seen untold amounts of bad taxi drivers. They’re much worse than Uber drivers, in my opinion.
BMW and Audi drivers are by far the worst.
The consequences of lorry drivers getting it wrong is often catastrophic
They have to be better than everyone else and I reckon they usually are
But when they are bad it really shows
I feel I have to mention here, the vast majority of lorry drivers in the UK are at the top of their profession. Professional, hard-working, excellent drivers. I've had my life saved, as a biker, more times than I can count by a truck driver, and half the issues that arrive are because of other drivers not understanding how a lorry works, where it needs to be placed to get round a corner, and generally being a jerk
'I've had my life saved, as a biker, more times than I can count by a truck driver.' Really? I've been riding motorbikes since 1983 and my life has never been saved by a truck driver. I shudder to think how you ride if you're so reliant on truckers to save your life.
@@Raggerty-j4c I've been riding for 40 years, all over the world, mostly as a civilian, so it's exposure to a million miles of road, not a "reliance", I never said I relied on truckers. Most of the time lorries are big things to move past. However, I've ridden enough to come across the situation where a lorry has warned me of a cager cunt coming up on the inside, or had a lorry wave me back when I was overtaking to warn me of something in the road that HE can see, but I can't yet. Your arrogance and ignorance are disappointing to see,
@@Raggerty-j4cwhy query someones comment. Do you know them and were you there. Maybe you were just lucky.
