Of course, it helps if you've got about 50 steered wheels !

What an excellent bit of driving, I'm so envious!
Ian watched the whole 9 minutes of it with his anorak on Ted:)
Which means he will now be late for Morrisons at Sittingbourne this morning unless the GSX can make up that time on the way to work.
We always get told 'We had a bigger one that yours in here last week, *Drive'...in that case it was probably true.

Mind I doubt they helpfully remove the street furniture for your average "Drive" in the uk.

It seems that the firm who did this job are specialists. (German - well naturally you'd expect them to be either German or British, wouldn't you?)

I never leave home without my trusty angle grinder, just in case some post gets in the way of my 3 point turn.

Being reversed around a corner on the back of a trailer, and yet still somehow going faster than my train into London.

That's pretty cool. How does the rear wheel steering work? At one point the rear wheels are being steered but the tractor is still going straight back (just before they remove the signpost). Is it remote control or something, maybe the banksman at the back?

We don't6 seem to see the abnormal loads around as we did years ago. When I worked in the MCP information room, we had a file of wide load movements for the month, all to be escorted by a patrol car.
The highways dept would be out, removing street furniture as the load progressed.
When the railway bridge in Stretford was widened many years ago, it was made into a sual carriage way with a quite wide central reservation.
Crossover lanes were put in so heavy loads could use the ' new ' bridge.
