How good are you at reversing a vehicle with a trailer attached?
I admit I've never tried it and suspect I'd be worse than useless. lol I've just watched my neighbour across the street try 4 times (well I technically only witnessed 3) before he succeeded, after he knocked over his 3 wheelie garbage bins on his first attempt which alerted me. 🤭
I tried it once at work... Bearing in mind I had not passed my test.
I managed to reverse the trailer into another work van, and THEN hit that van with the van I was in... that put paid to them let me drive anything for a while.
After a few months they asked me help help out and bring the forklift into the warehouse, and I managed to drive the tines through the side of the building.
It's hard. PS, I hope he's not going camping in the lockdown. Maybe he's using it to ship food supplies to his local community. If you see see a tent and and a camping stove going in phone 999. Good neighbourhood watch Zoranna. stay home, protect the NHS, save lives.
@Ironicman I'm Australian and we're not in lockdown ... yet. We've been requested to stay home, with lots of rules and fines in place for non-compliance of certain conditions, eg travelling outside one's own area, congregating in groups of more than 2 etc. No, no camping gear, lots of garden rubbish in his trailer but he came back with it so I presume the local tip was closed.
@Zoranna Yes. It's an effect of the tow-hitch being much further from the trailer's axle.
I had to renew my driving-licence recently when its 10 years ended. I have not examined it closely but I would not be surprised if they have omitted my authority to tow trailers and ride motorcycles, though I don't see myself ever needing them again.
@ArishMell We don't need a special licence to tow normal trailers but we do for motorcycles. I actually have a "Heavy Vehicle Driver's Licence" but I've never driven a truck, well I've moved one. lol I did drive a 22 seater bus occasionally and they're remarkably easy to drive.
