Just to add. The house was badly damaged and can be seen on streetview here for your reference.

Until you've driven one and or been in a similar situation, you just wouldn't understand

Had the balls to knock the door. Fair play. Honest man.

Number one rule he broke. Get out the bleeding truck and have a look! He never left his cab!

When you get a sweat on and feel like crying it's time to think before you make a bigger mistake

Someone once told me ,dont judge unless youve walked in that mans shoes, i know a lot of class 1's ave commented, but i suspect a lot of  Fiat 500's as well 😂

Surely most HGV drivers can sympathize with this driver..... We have all been caught in tricky situations,like this one just being one of the many examples!!..... sometimes timely delivery and returning the lorry undamaged seems like a gamble....

Totally relate to this, especially when I was a new driver. Got lost, no help from control, seen red and done something risky. Park up and take a minute, although it looks difficult without blocking the road. 😢😢

Only Way Out of that was to Reverse back out and do a Blind Reverse back over the Bridge and then Reverse onto the Roundabout, Drivers will Stop or Ask for Assistance.

As a class 1 driver myself I feel for you buddy who ever you are. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and refuse a delivery or park up and walk it get a better look. Could have avoided a damaged house and nearly ripping the whole trailer off. Hope he’s still driving because he gave it a good attempt fair does 😂

As a new pass this situation would have my arse twitching like a rabbits nose! I feel for that driver!

Lesson learned at least he tried to contact the householder so full marks for that ❤

Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. If you're in a spot like this and an extra pair of eyes would help get out safely then find them. Sure that may seem embarrasing but it's better than wrecking the truck or the street.

I'm glad people don't like being in these situations because I love it it. bad weather, low bridges, tight reverses, school traffic etc... I'm not even that talented, but I enjoy the thrill of being in uncharted territory and having your skills tested as opposed to just running up and down the m6.

maybe it's because I've only been doing it for 6mths, but I secretly like listening other truckers moan about the office or the depot or the pay or the hours, because it's good enough for me and for a long time I thought I might never find a job I wouldn't deeply loathe, let alone enjoy.

reverse back the way you came is an option

when you don't know how to drive backwards

Lorry drivers dont get paid enough for this stress. Uk roads are far to narrow and to many tight areas. My dad was a hgv driver and my female partner is class 1 too. If in doubt, she said she would get out and assess the situation, plus sometimes there is only 1 option, to reverse all the way back. So much respect for them.

the real one! most people dont know how stress is drive a truck...

GOAL never crossed his mind what a cowboy! not to mention the not suitable for HGV sign just off the round about on the way in

At least he had his hazards on
