armchair hero's = cunts

I <3 motown

[TheHawaiidreams]

Funny! Moreton has changed!

[mrspivvy]

all the stupid twats on here criticising the driver...yeah, like you could do any better. we don't have chains in the UK. its not his truck, if the firm don't supply chains, why should he have to buy them?

If its stuck, even lifting the centre axle does not always work, euro trucks are NOT designed for this kind of thing, and Renaults are crap anyway

[blobby1972]

don't you just love these arm chair truck drivers .lol priceless

[1958boomergirl]

A pink panel truck. Now, that's interesting.

[FinestHardstyle1]

@1958boomergirl thats red.

[oederdekoe]

At the end he got really stuck :s Couldn't go back up and couldn't go back down because of his trailer almost hitting a house xD

[visvamoorthy]

why couldn't he take some salt out of the trailer and use it for grip???

[philjane]

Well, ok if the axle cannot be lifted. Then show this vid to the manufacturers as evidently, it needs to.

[britdemo]

has any one her red the description.........this truck had 30 tonne of salt in the back

[volvo013]

that says it all vest on snow fag in the mouth billy big balls that cant fucking drive put it in gear stay in it slowly slowly no wonder you got the renault

[IFONLYYOUKNEW100]

6x4 with 60t on the pin would still get stuck. The single biggest thing that dictates if you get stuck or keep on moving is the tread pattern on you tyres. I lived in Switzerland for 9 years and it was the law that you had to have winter tyres on from Nov to March. Brilliant idea. I think it would be great idea even in the UK. I drove through 12 - 18 inch of snow with not much of a problem. and when thing really got bad I popped snow chains on and I could go up steep hills in deep snow easly

[philjane]

The centre axle on the unit lifts. Doing this would have helped by putting more weight on the drive axle

[britdemo]

@philjane but some are auto, they come down when the wieght goes up and some cannot be manualy overread

[hcnorsken]

den va tråkig hahahaha

[mckerraljamie]

Let me point out that i drive a Daf and when a trailer is connected the tag axle comes down, there is no over-ride, !

[coolky777]

My dad drives for Thompsons

[miniboy84]

i would have used a bag out the back , things always fall out the back

[chazsmateII]

Fag, bare arms and tag down. way to go numb nuts.

[Hu999]

UK truck drivers haven't got a clue when it comes to snow and ice. A tag axle is a recipe for failure in the snow. Second, how about putting some chains on before getting trapped in tiny towns?

[16bloomers]

UK drivers don't have chains!! We need the axles for the weight nothing we can do about it. Don't tell me, you're canadian right?

[330fran]

you ant got a clue you got to be polish

[SuicideCyclist20]

or if the roads had been CLEARED in the first place! then we wouldnt of had and problems like this

[CMOSjockey]

Here is what is so bloody amazing. ONce you can make it, backing down onto even more. How about you STOP, then sprinkle a LOT of grit - like what's on the truck- and THEN back onto it so you can get traction. Been there, done that. But nope, we go backwards until we can;t move at all. I think people LIKE to sit and spin, so they can brag on how horrible it was. I don't. I throw down grit becuase trailers never back the same way they go forward. Sheesh!

[Wow2Model]

Reanult = Laughting ur butt off

[essexLifeguard]

why didnt he just dump so of the salt out the back?

[serendipitdy]

wow that was an amazing video, you were lucky to get such good pics!!!
