I still remember two things my instructor told me when I learned to drive in 1980 - "know whats behind you but DON'T worry about them" and "The bigger vehicles are the more space you give em'. After 40 years on the road driving for a living etc I swear by these rules! Keep up the fantastic content mate and keep on trucking!
I used this same principle when driving.. the police weren't happy I wouldn't stop though..
Omg. Best ever reversing in the dark. You are amazing. Total respect my dear friend.
Amen to that I hate hate hate backing in the dark.
From a 30 year veteran who has been in the DVLA checkpoints many times, they are NOT your friends. Period.
34 year veteran says your bang on bro.
DVSA not DVLA (the latter just deal with licences)
Youthful naivety on his part, He will learn,
They are a Money collection agency,
Think he was joking when he said "Mates" it's sarcasm. Also let's be honest without them (Annoying as they are) alot of trucks would be dangerous and people might lose their lives just because there wasn't a deterrant to stop dangerous behaviour.
Full stop.. a period is something else in the UK 😂
They are public servants, you have every right to record them.
Oh no you don’t!
No you don't
Ialways go slower if someone tailgates me like that !, unless its a fire engine
I am a HGV driving instructor and you have the right idea about driving for a living, nice to see . We get idiots tailgaiting us with learners and I always joke with the learners that tipper drivers put their brains in a plastic bag when they get the job and only get them back if they live long enough to retire (yes I have also done tipping LOL )
I suppose as long as everything is safe, secure and working properly then the only thing to worry about is the time it takes and disruption to your schedule. When you see the damage a truck can do it's not a bad thing vehicles are being checked.
That’s the trouble though. Even though you think you’ve done everything right your always flapping that you’ve forgot something. I can totally understand what Luke was feeling during that check. There nerve racking!
Problem is it's all up to their opinion, if like me you drive for a small company and use old trucks they could pick anything up as a problem. I got a warning from the police (not the DVSA thankfully) because i had a pin that wasn't seating properly, it had been like that for two years and was a non issue but yet it's my problem when my boss knew about it and refused to get it fixed. Companies expect you out every single day without exception and if not you get reprimanded, you'll be the one getting fined though just because you happen to be in that truck on that day
Great video as always, that tipper was a right tool for doing what he did, no need!
Typical tipper driver
Im a driving instructor and i feel your pain luke and im sorry to say it's no longer a small amount of drivers but infact far to many bad drivers on the road and these clueless people wave fists at us good drivers.
“Sod him”. Well said Luke, maybe that could be another idea for merch LOL
I've had the opinion for some time, that learner drivers should spend a compulsory week or two with you guys, just to learn the difficulties you have. It would give them more respect for Class 1 drivers, without whom they would not have the comfortable life they are used to.
Keep up the good work and take comfort in the fact that :- The biggest vehicle always wins. 😎👍
I agree or if that’s not feasible, have a module for new car drivers focus on large vehicle ( a sort of module on cpc - vulnerable road users)
Brilliant vlog Luke can't believe that tipper truck driver. I would have went even slower..
Just drive how you do and forget about people behind your driving is great
You’ll always get a bad driver out of a bunch Luke. I do multi-drop deliveries to members of the public and I always get “You can’t park there!”, “You’re blocking the road!”. Tough shit! I’m doing my job, I’m parked where I am for less than 10 minutes. And I’m never fully blocking roads, people just don’t know how wide their cars are and refuse to go through a passable gap. A lot of people have no patience these days. Take no notice and soldier on 👍
I do multidrop, sometimes you have to block the road because around me roads are 200 years old and made for horses. People get irate for not reason, if i could leave space i would... The world doesn't revolved around these people
Great Video Luke
I’ve been as heavy as 22 stone and it ain’t good
So not being mean , try and get some exercise and stop eating junk otherwise you’ll end up with Diabetes , heart disease , higher risk of a stroke etc.
Keep on trucking
Fair comment, must be hard to keep fit as a trucker.
Great vid Luke. Good to see you drIving through Carmarthen I’m a London lad but I lived in Carmarthen as a teen haha 😆 nice to see that you’re about.
Smashing to see local spots in his videos, ive always wondered what the dsa place looked like at the Bath turn off.
Tipper driver can't help it...he's had a full frontal lobotomy 🤣🤣🤣
My last job before retiring was driving a 7.5-ton slide back on fleet management. On the bottom of the M25 DVSA would often drive off their perch and sit behind me for about a mile or so then go around me and pull the truck in front. Which where it was normally was a foreign plate.
Thank you Luke enjoyed your video. Glad you named the Tipper Company Shame you could not get the Registration. To Shame the Driver. Never forget the first time I got pulled over. I was very nervous Glad it was all good for. you ( and me). Thanks again. Take care and Stay Safe and Safe Trucking.
Wouldn’t be a hard job to find out they have only got 2 volvo tippers
I like what you’re doing with the google earth photos so we get a better idea where you’re tipping/loading. Nice video Luke.
Thanks mate. Glad a few people are mentioning it 🤙🏻
Yes, google earth views are a great addition to an already brilliant presentation. Keep up the good work and don't let other road (ab)users get you down!
Nice bit of reversing in the dark, just eat more carrots to see in the dark, worked for me when I was a night shunter!😂 as always a very enjoyable vlog! Keep up the good work and keep safe!
Really good video some people dott no how drive you take care keep safe
It seems to me that the lack of services for truck drivers is world wide. There are never enough services, lack of parking, clean showers and toilets and good food. On my straight truck, 40 ft Volvo Vnl 780, I mounted lead floods on the back of the cab and in front of the drive wheels. Helps backing at night.
They cannot stop you filming, contact the DVSA and inform them that you will be filming them at any time in the future and get them to confirm that they understand this and that you should not be prevented from doing so.
They can stop you filming if it is a DVSA owned check site that has no implied public right of access.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder
Which is why I wasn’t outside filming them. However, next time I will certainly be recording from within my own vehicle and I will kindly remind them that I have cctv on each side of my vehicle recording them.
@@lukecinahgv Any rule banning photography/videography on site would still apply from within your own vehicle. It’ll be a blanket rule if it is. You should make a freedom of information request for copies of any policy relating to photography/videography on DVSA sites.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder If i am being forced on to their site. (ie, against my will) then i will absolutely disregard any rule they have in place on site, as i do not wish to be there. i live in my truck. i will do what i want in it. if that means recording then so be it. if they do not want to be on camera then i would suggest they find someone who doesn't mind being on camera or they let me go.
it may be their site, their rules.
but its also, my truck, my rules.
@@lukecinahgv why don’t you just drive off then if it’s ‘I’ll do whatever I want on the site’?
Abs brilliant mate . Can’t believe you get other drivers like the tipper doing that . Must have sawdust for brains .
Not 100% sure but I think you can put a complaint in about the DVSA officer and state that he/she was committed a driving offence by driving dangerously and rapidly slowing down in front of a fully loaded 44t HGV.
That tipper driver should be also have been pulled by the DVSA officer who asked you about why you slowed to 45mph
I have the the height of respect For articulater truck drivers, I find it hard enough to reverse a car and trailer.
It’s actually harder to reverse a car and trailer
as a trucker myself they got amazing mirrors.
Luke don't let that driver stress you out they ain't worth it mate
Retired HGV 1 driver of 55 yrs on the road, do miss it now and then, but don`t envy you what with all the traffic/ regs that you need now to drive lorries of any sort.
A W Williams in Cardigan is where the tipper was from. No need for that behaviour we’re all in it together.
Great video mate keep up the great work you are doing
Ref the radiation checker in Portbury an old mate of mine got pulled coming out of Portsmouth docks after he, not the load got tested positive. He was undergoing a course of intravenous radioactive liquid for treatment of cancer and it detected it. Wouldn't let him go until they'd called the hospital to confirm so no chance of smuggling a bomb through!!
i have drove that truck you show near the beginning with the orange on it , it was a birthday present of my daughter and i loved it and set the sat nav to shortest route
if i get anyone trying to push me along i just slowdown that really piss them off.
That’s the best method. You can’t exactly speed up in a HGV especially if your loaded up so just slow down and piss them off. And when they speed pass you all frustrated blow them a kiss and smile. That’s what I do😁😂
I'm with you supporting the DVSA, they have a tough job to do. Their Norwegian equivalent often set up and flag in every truck passing, all get a cursory glance over and weight check, some are pulled for closer checks. Not unusual to hear they've done a proper check on 20 trucks and 10 end up being issued a prohibition on use there and then, and half the others with have significant issues to fix withing a set timescale, but are allowed to continue. Seeing what they stop, I'm totally behind them. Rigid truck å bogie trailer combo, approved to a max 50 ton weight, stopped between 2 subsea tunnels (steep inclines) found 25 ton overweight, and with brake defects on 3 of 6 axles.
Got my class 2 in august. Then going straight in for class 1. Really can’t wait!!
Congratulations mate.. how long it took you? Any advice?
Do you need to wait after 6 months to go for c+e? Or can go ahead after you pass class 2
@@SumLikeU i think it’s just a couple of weeks. Didn’t end up going for my class one because the job I got said they will put me through for it and I am making ok money on class 2 so I’m happy for now.
Luke I wouldn't worry about the " tosser in the trailer " the cemetery is full of fools like him, great video again mate
Cheers buddy :) thanks for watching
Very true well said.
No surprise an impatient tipper driver, seems to be the norm with them. Another great video, stay safe Luke!
I few years ago I got pulled in to a lidel car park in my Mk1 transit camper .D.V.S.A ,police and customs to dip my tank twice in a fortnight. On the second stop the guy from the D.V.S.A came over to the police who where checking my documents and said we did this guy two weeks ago I'm not going to be checking him again. The police said well I am. The police said are you known to us I said no he replied "why's that,because we haven't caught you"
Hi Luke
The last time they pulled me , they let me go before they did anything !
Even with bad days you manage to stay positive and happy. Missed your video last week :)
As the tipper driver was in Wales he qualifies as a Cotchen Blewog. Blewog = Hairy. Cotchen= C/runt or T/wat. One of the few snippets of Welsh I remembered from forty years ago lol
They are detecting fissile material, there was a gov report done about the possibility of terrorists building a dirty bomb, or even a nuclear weapon within the UK using nuclear material shipped in. So they installed scanners and frequently check cargo with Geiger counters and similar hardware at ports of entry
I got pulled by DVSA years back on the M40
I was only in a 7.5 tonne and was on way to a pharmaceutical firm in Perivale.
I saw the DVSA parked on a bridge, then it overtook me and jumped in front of me like what happened to you.
So I followed him and I made him laugh when he asked what I have loaded lol his face lit up when I said drug's and started to laugh.
Everything was ok with his checks and then I was on way.
It would be good to know if DVSA can legally prevent you from filming their check. They may not like it but are you actually legally allowed to do it with or without their consent?
Yes, they can, if the site is not one of those mobile set ups that they put on motorway services etc. As the site has no implied public right of access, the property owner (so the DVSA) can impose conditions on site, including no photography.
Keep up the vids mate! Fantastic to watch 👍🏻 plus you’re a proper driver unlike some who risk it! 🚛
I think ur fab. Really nice guy. I was HGV 1 driver in 90s and 00s yep not many female drivers around then. No sat navs and no auto gear boxes, we had range changers and spliters. I used to hate going to drops in London, with London AtoZ in one hand steering wheel in other lol when we got stopped for tacho and weight checks we'd call it the ministry and if there was a check ahead you'd hold ur round tacho holders up to warn other drivers. I think must be so better with the new card things. Does the card tell you how much time you got left and how much rest time is needed ? There used to be 3 classes 3, 2 and 1, but beleve this is changed to just 2 and 1. Also am I right you can't just go for your class one and you have to do class two first ? I might be wrong. I did my class one around 1986.
I got pulled by DVSA in that same location whilst on my way to Mercedes Avonmouth for a service. DVSA found a problem with the suspension and I had to wait for a tow truck to tow me to Mercedes Avonmouth. DVSA wouldn't let me drive there. Such bad luck.
Nice video and very considerate driver. Well done !
They have no right to tell you that you can not film them as there is no right to privacy in a public place .
Love the vids Luke, keep it up, and stay safe
Got pulled for an inspection, they told me the rubber grommets on my truck were worn and not up to speck. I then said are you going to explain this to the testing station it came out of yesterday, that they failed to spot this in their report. They suggested they needed to be changed, and I was sent on my way.
Don't forget to SEND THEM THE BILL FOR HOLDING YOU UP FOR THAT TIME AND A BILL FOR RE-TRANSPOTING GOODS IF YOU HAVE TO BRING THEM BACK, DUE TO MISSED TIME SLOT..
You will win the case as there has never been one before.. So if you miss your time slot and have to bring back goods to the depto, to re send it out following day say. then they get the bill for fuel wages and loss of time + ware on the lorry.. SEND THEM THE BILL.
That's tipper drivers for you.
I used to drive class 2 trucks & the biggest problem on the road is tippers.
I now drive ambulance,s & the only trouble I have had is with tipper racing around.
I typically watch these videos at 1.5 times the normal speed which works really well for me, just the engine sounds like Luke is constantly flooring it. 😁
That tipper driver is Red I bet from the film Hell Drivers a brilliant film about tipper drivers they have to drive at 50 and not any slower even on bends so yes it was definitely Red 😃👍
I work for a company that delivers to cks, instantly recognised that one. Also you'll find a lot of hgv drivers don't hang around on welsh country roads lol, especially loggers
Remember that these are not the police. They have fuck all authority to tell you that you cannot film. You can film whatever you like in a public place.
Great watch, just Subscribed mate. 👍🏻
I'm looking into HGV driving, but how do you know where to stop off over night? Is it a case of just looking for lay bys ect?
Ur right about them bein there stopping dangerous and illeagle practices but sometimes their aggressive mannerisms . At times arent gd . They come at u like uve broken the laws before theyve even checked the truck and details over . Ive had that a couple of times . They go on about driver cooperation but they wont get much behaving the way some of them do . But as a general rule i find them ok and helpfull . Its like everything u get a few that spoil it for the many
The only drivers who don't like the DVSA are the ones who don't do vehicle checks and or have dodgy tachocards (except the odd manual entry error or genuine overrun)
@LukeCinaHGV The DVSA sounds like The DOT (Department Of Transportation) in the US
It is very much the same.
way can these factories with large yards not let you park in their yards for the next day it makes no seance.
other than insurance reasons but Thay can always give a disclaimer and worn you?
Awesome vid!!! Cdl (hgv) in the USA. You can keep those narrow roads lol. Dirt haulers are about the same here.
Tailgating is one of my pet hate's I used to drive a 7.5t vehicle for our local hospital it was governed to fifty six miles an hour the amount of gestures I got from idiots if I had a pound would be a millionaire, my old instructor told me monitor the vehicle behind but don't worry he hits you it's his fault, my other pet hate is driver's on a motorway who are going slow but when you go to overtake speed up like it's a game
Luke I am a livestock trucker and you can not speed like tipper drivers into bends I have to slow down 35 mile an hour and yes I have bad them up my ass flashing the lights I just use the road let them know piss off I get paid by the hour not the fucking load respect to you mate
I literally deliver to that supermarket you stayed at. Saying to myself I recognize that road to well. Mad seeing it in this scenario on UA-cam 😂
Literally or actually?
Don't you recognize Sulzer, Luke? The Swiss company founded 1775 and do and sell nearly everything about fluid-handling in 180 places world-wide. Haha!
I’m just thinking of getting a HGV license and can already tell you anyone working for the state is never your friend…
Just wonder if that tipper driver had a proper licence. My hubby was caught speeding by a camera one time, and he was given the choice of 3 pts or one of those courses. Obviously, he chose the course. Anyway, the bloke who was running it stated that if you get an idiot on your backend, do not tap your brakes so that you put on your brake lights, but to slow down very slowly, but not using your brakes, just take your foot of the accelerator, and the person behind you will also start to slow
Wot, no HiViz with FLT unloading in the yard 🙂 16:32 Sulzer = Big Swiss engineering operation. Delivering to outfits like them, your freight operator must be highly-rated
I think you I’ve seen that tipper lorry around by me and I live in valleys, drives around by me like tosser too
Needs reporting.
My new favourite sentence is “He was driving right up my chuff”
The answer to that question is had I not slowed down we would not be having this conversation.
Our company Land Rover at 31:22 mate
Very interesting drive thanks for the video,yes just found your channel.
Hi Luke, all good so far, when I drove those sort of roads back in 2006 and 19 yrs prior, the speed limit for trucks was 40, has it gone up..., I doubt it mate lol.
As of 6th April 2015 the National Speed Limits for HGVs [defined as 7.5 tonnes maximum vehicle weight when loaded] were amended in England and Wales. Scotland stayed at the hisorical limits.
England and Wales:
Single carriageway 50 MPH
Dual carriageway 60 MPH **
Motorway 60 MPH **
Scotland:
Single carriageway 40 MPH
Dual carriageway 50 MPH
Motorway 60 MPH **
** Note: Construction and Use regulations specify that this class of vehicle is fitted with a speed limiter restricted to 90 km/h [56 MPH] So although up to 60 MPH is not breaking the speed limit - thus no points on your licence or fine, for speeding - it is breaking the CU regs - thus points on your licence and fine, for breach of CU regs. Plus the operator of the vehicle gets done too.
Note also, that this speed 90 km/h reveals this was a piece of EU legislation that was brought in upon joining the EU. Here's an example of a Brexit "benefit" that we have not benefitted from - in seeing it harmonised with the national speed limits.
vosa and an irate tipper driver, you can do without them both. stay safe
I got stopped by VOSA, as it was then, a few years ago when I was driving a tractor for the County Council. The inspector quite correctly flagged up the missing LHF indicator and side light assembly which I had broken off that very morning and had stowed in the cab to prevent further damage. He issued a probition notice, helped me to carry out a temporary repair then issued a removal of the prohibition notice. This was fine and I went on my way thinking no more of it. I was very surprised to get a huge rollocking from my manager for not informing them of the incident who were not impressed that they had another black mark on the O Licence!
You would not be saying that if they found something wrong.
What not be saying what?
@@lukecinahgv How nice the DVSA are you would be calling them all the names under the sun ,if they locked your wheels.
Great video.Can I just say I’ve driven tippers for 15 years or so also have my class1 license and not all of us drive like belle*ds .You drove tippers for a while didn’t you Luke?
Yes mate I did. Not all drive like that I agree.
Great vlog like I'm hoping my hgv career takes off soon. I'm aiming for tippers class 2 then after some experience hit class 1 for bulk tippers that area of truck driving appeals to me more. I like watching your v logs as it shows truck driving as it truly is. It definitely looks the life for me.
Nice "stop" at 4:37
Oh yeah I've been to that place - Many Many times!
Ended my HGV Driving a few years back now still miss some of it but like you said tipper driver right up your arse they pissed me off because they were idiots the way they drove(not all must admit) trying to push you or overtake my solution SLOOWW down and reall y slow down on bends
You were in the right cause its a 40 MPH on single carriageway road for HGV's
Yes in Scotland.
In England and wales it’s 50 on a single carriage way
They might not WANT to be on film but that doesn't mean they can stop you filming them at work
Just subscribed to your channel Luke :D
Brilliant video
Thank you.
Great vid luke, I've been watching you for a while and it gave me the motivation to do my class 2. I got a question for you. I've been wanting to do my class 1 for a while but I'm a bit concerned about tramping because I'm 6ft8, im concerned about being able to fit in the cabs to sleep. Is this a potential problem or not in your opinion. Thanks in advance
Check out Vlogger Except for Access, I m sure he’s 6’8” 👍
You should be OK as most HGVs are 8 foot wide. My mate is 6.5 and he sleeps ok so I think you’ll be fine.
Hi Luke, liking your videos and your up front style with no messing around approach. Just a little question I’d like to ask you, what are the make of sunglasses that you are wearing in the video? as they look very stylish. Keep the videos coming 👍
Tipper Driver prob on a per load bonus or Wage
my dad was doing the same as you other than it was a different location and he was at a volunteer medical centre thing that closed at night and he got told by someone he could stay but then someone higher up from the company came and said he couldn't. so he had to move and was very annoyed but there is nothing you can do so you just have to get on with it and enjoy it
Luck i have a question is the tripper truck do there do more the 56 miles per hours cause I was driving down the motorway doing 60 milers per hour and the tripper went pass me like I was setting still I though all HGV class 1 was set for 56 miles per
Possibly going down hill?
Great video Luke
You've not even watched it yet lol
@@LeadsTheFallen He does it to everyone as soon as he clicks on the videos
I couldn’t see the company name on that tripper
I find as well as the Hazards rear fogs on help when reversing in the dark , i know technically its wrong to have the rear fogs on but it so helps when its pitch black
I could tell you some stories about them.
They're under orders to do quotas and pressured into getting as many prosecutions as possible. How do I know?
It's a long story but I met a vosa officer in frenchay hospital one year. His son was in ICU same time as my wife and while waiting in the rest room we got talking. He told me they were under pressure to fill quotas, now neither of us had met previously, but it turns out that I had heard about him from a way back. He was one of the guys who falsified the document evidence for his nephews trial which got him off a jail sentence. He died about a month ago. I know his son and he filled in some details about the case. Let me know if your interested.
I drive a telehandler on the road, i let people pass as soon as practical, when you have impatient idiots trying to overtake in stupid places they will have an accident & you will be involved in it, they are not worth it. why do people behave like this in huge vehicles if you were walking down an alleyway would they be walking behind you breathing down your neck? its never happend to me.
