In town centres or villages where the roads are less than 30 feet wide?

I've recently come across a few idiots trying to turn these pests in
very narrow roads which were never designed for vehicles that width or
length, in doing so they just create a massive hold-up for ages.

perhaps the problem lies with people not saying to their suppliers

"please send a van/7.5t cause it is difficult for an artic to
deliver/collect from us"?



Nah, just blame the HGV drivers. Much easier than actually thinking about
it. With views like that he could be a politician.

I don't think I was blaming the drivers, they are just doing their job, if
they are told to go a particular place they do not have much choice, but the
owners/suppliers, could be more considerate.

It would be interesting to hear whether any have ever said it was
difficult/impossible to deliver to a particular place.
