Interestingly, I worked for a company that when you visited their head office gin palace, Policy was to reverse into a space in the car park.

Apparently and it is hard to verify but it was all to do with elf and Safety.

Riding a motorcycle, like driving a truck, requires different skill sets, in terms of what can go wrong......but that doesnt make one group of road user any more elite than the next.

I personally think that deriding other groups of road users, says more about the deficient attitude of those slinging the mud.

If horses, cars, motorcycles,cyclists etc you cannot cope with as a competent driver then there is a question as to whether you should even have a licence.

I agree completely Channa, and those are the points that I've been trying to get across. :)
 
mind you do get drive in movies and drive in fast food . look silly reversing into them now wouldnt you .ha ha .
you want to see the reverse on ferries going to maroc .
icecream box drivers do let the side down .
 
I have a small trailer that I use from time to time.

It has a short wheelbase & is utterly below my field of vision in the mirror. That is an utter nightmare to reverse with. Even when loaded & visible in the mirror, the short wheel base makes it very hard to match the turning circle of the car to that of the trailer. Big trailers, boats & the caravan are a doddle, but this little 6x4 trailer always takes a couple (or five) goes to get it right.

I try to avoid reversing with that on the back! :scared:
 
think you need to get a proper trailer .ha ha .
but yes short tow unit long trailer ideally wheels right at the back is far easier than a little trailer behind a large vehicle .
mini artic is the way . some lead the rest follow.
 
Try reversing a two axle trailer. :scared: It's a whole different ballgame. :lol-049:
 
I used that trick with a caravan once. Coming down a steep hill at Symonds Yat I found that the site entrance was angled for an up hill approach DOH!

I disconnected the van & turned the car, then put a brick under one wheel & released the van brake slowly so that it pivoted round the brick. Then brake back on hard & reverse car on to caravan. It was the easy to drive up the curved entrance ramp & park at the top of the field for a safe & easy escape later if it rained.

When I reread the site blurb later it said "access not suitable for caravans & trailer tents". :lol-053:

There's always a way to solve any problem if you take your time & give it a bit of careful thought.
 
twin axle drag trailers behind a rigid . they have a turntable on the front axle of trailer . i drove milk tankers .they are a nightmare .but you do learn it . very maneuverable when you do but nightmare learning it .specially after a 40ft artic .
 
when reversing small trailers gaffer tape a stick to each side with a bit of cloth hanging off so you can see what it's up to
 
Ha ha, it's all right, Winnie, we all understand that you are the only poster that can have an opinion which is the only "true & correct" one. :lol-053:

Used to tow a turntable drawbar or steering axle drawbar a lot. Fantastic when you get the knack.
 
I never said that you would "waste your time" by trawling through my past posts. On the contrary, you would find them interesting, amusing and educational! :):)
 
hi nb thats the ones .
mind i can spin mine on a normal two lane road .scrubs the tyres you would think they are about to pop off their rims . but it works .
my unit is a registered motor tractor so it can pull tow trailers but as yet i havent . but could be fun .
it is legal in uk for a motor tractor to pull two trailers and a locomotive can pull three trailers . not smart in cornwall ,wales etc .ha ha .
 
I met a girl once had a big Volvo and pulled 2 showman's waggons,some outfit to overtake eh?
 
all good fun .
i must say there are some great women drivers out there . these days i see lots of young french girls are taking hgv test so they can have big truck campers . get more and more of them every winter and they are girly girls not butch ones . you may have seen a few of them .
 
I love it, when my daughter drove her single decker across spain,years ago,it was such a big deal that the Spanish truck drivers were CBing ahead and all coming out the bars to cheer her on as she passed !
 
back to that changing world .
we have several lady truck drivers around here ,but the amount of french in winter in spain/maroc is amazing .girl truckerss not the actual french theres always loads of them .france must be empty in winter. ha ha .
