You could also argue that the scooter at 0:31 was a bit unsafe (though he passed in front of him while he was backing up). Everybody else waited patiently until it was save to pass. If you are talking about the end, not only was it perfectly save to pass in front by then it was also expected. There was even a man dividing the road, so both sides could drive safely. So please don't tell me no one can wait to pass safely! It was great driving though. I have seen trucks needing a lot more time.

I wouldn't say anybody can drive a truck. It seems like most people can't even drive a manual transmission these days. Some people could probably drive a semi forward in a straight line, but backing is a whole other story. That's particularly true when you're backing and turning into a space like this that isn't much wider than your trailer. That took a fair bit of experience and knowledge of the vehicle. It also explains why you tend to see more cabovers in Europe than in North America!

I'm not sure how it is in England, but I'm fairly sure England and many other European countries have axles on the trailer that countersteer as well, it makes it a lot easier. We used to have articulated buses here with countersteering trailer axles and drivers complain about the current articulated buses for not having it, it makes taking S-curve style turns (we have a couple of those in my city) much more difficult.
@paulnieuwkamp8067
2 жыл бұрын
@@Dutch3DMaster Counter steering doesn't really help with the maneuver displayed here (and the trailer in the video doesn't have them), but it's immensely helpful when driving through European residential areas. It makes the axels of the trailer follow the track of the truck more closely instead of being more tight, so you don't hit stuff on the inside corner. The alternative to countersteering axles is placing the axles more to the front of the trailer, but that greatly increases the outside swerve, and thus the number of swiped cars and your insurance premium. Our garbage trucks are ~8,5m (28ft?) but they have to go *everywhere*. They often have countersteering axles as well (though it depends on the city and sometimes even neighborhood they're servicing).

I did this in Brussels, with a smaller truck, but it was also a much narrower and very busy one direction street. The trick is not to be bothered by the people. You are doing your job, and if people have a problem with that you just ignore them. Without delivering trucks life in a city would not be possible, so the people in the cities should be grateful, and luckily most of them are, that truck drivers are willing to do the job that makes their life in a city possible.

Some serious mad skills putting that trailer in that alley. Also, a wonderful illustration of how the Dutch ride bicycles. We got to spend a couple days in Amsterdam a couple years ago, and as Americans, were simply amazed at how many people ride bikes to go everywhere. Our favorite was the father with a bike with a basket on front and one on back, with two small kids up front and one behind him. Here in America, you pretty much take your life in your hands riding a bike in an urban environment, there is just not enough social support for the concept. That visit let us check a couple things off our bucket list: The Van Gogh Museum and the second floor of the Rijksmusem with the Dutch Masters including the Night Watch. One of the best days of our multi-week trek from Copenhagen across northern Europe on our way to London. We loved Amsterdam.

1 Start somewhere in the USA to get it into urban planning, even if it's just one town. 2 From either the local government or on the national one get tax breaks for low carbon footprint locally, which you can use to further the project. 3 Give local businesses a tax incentive to supply their workforce with good bicycle's and lower the insurance for health care by making deals with a company supplying that to the company because staff are leading a healthy lifestyle. 4 Buy the Bicycles from one or two companies in bulk, getting a better deal, make sure to get warrantee and service for them with a local bike repair shop, this creates jobs and saves money. 5 Partner up with a Dutch city and ask for infrastructure ideas an help on this bicycle project. I'd imagine that somewhere in either: California, Delaware or Seattle there are places, city's or towns willing to do this. Imagine the young families it wil attract that want to life in such a place and the business's that would love to settle in a place like it, Apple, Ben&Jerry's, tech companies, lifestyle companies, etc, etc. The jobs that will create and the value on property, it's all uphill from there. And that attracts other positive environmental companies that want to be part of that scene if only for their branding.

@realTrue3

@Андрей Пантелеевич конечно, человек молодец. Но тут не то чтобы жлоб... уверяю, так работают даже крупные логистики, например грузится полуприцеп почти полностью и дальше на 3-6 точек развоз, в том числе и в такие вот места. Причем тут ещё относительно: сложность тут из-за узкого проема, хоть и не видно, но скорее всего там впритирку, но это по сути технически тот же самый заезд под рампу между плотностоящими прицепами и с тягачами на месте..., и второе - это то что улица перекрывается, хотя у них там часто спокойнее к этому относятся, чем где-нибудь у нас с вечно спешащими и нервными. В логистике все часто надо срочно, и если нет под рукой мелкой машины, то груз на пару паллет кидается и на длинномер, который едет по пути рядом. Это скорее несовершенство общей модели потребления и заказов продуктов, где на точках нет стабильного спроса по всем позициям, а всегда +/- колебания и количество поэтому тоже, поэтому заказы распределяются как бы в авральном режиме нон-стоп. Ну и экономически, там не такая уж и разница, что например съездит фура на 6 точек, что съездит фургон 2 раза по 3 точки, где-то даже выгоднее, чтобы фура. По крайней мере, бывают ситуации, когда фура идёт полупустая от логистики, и это никого особо не смущает, ну кроме рационального взгляда:)

I would then walk up to the motorist and ask if his hooter is sticking because I have a big hammer that will fix it. Also when I came nose to nose with a car on a narrow road and they try to wave me back in my artic against their fiesta, I found the best thing to do was switch off the engine, get out my newspaper and prop my feet up on the dash.
