I have found a sneeky trick to reversing trailers into places on the near side when I reverse my voluntary works transit and box trailer. You tweek the leccy mirror to help line your self up as you start to go round :wink: :lol:

I hope I will love it and not pap myself and be too scared! I just want a go to see what it would be like!

BK:
Dont worry mate,its actually a bit easier to reverse the longer the trailer cos it doesnt come round as quick.......youll be fine.........the first time i had to drive a 7.5 tonner i papped myself,now i can throw an artic around like a good un,its all about practice

muddyjames:

That was when I used to buy trucking international magazine with my pocket money and we went to brands hatch for truck racing. I spent alot of the time driving my dads isuzu trooper around pulling people out the mud in the camp site. he hooked them up, I drove round. I was only 14 I think :lol: I did get asked if I had a driving license to which I replied "yeah a lego land one" :lol: (a Denmark one too!!)

Sad I know!

BK:
