Urm followed the prat nav. But the dick heads should have offered to help the driver out of the situation by watching him out and moving the parked cars.

I agree. Instead of filming, why not help the driver?

It's easy to be smart and blame the SatNav, but remember that a good many industrial parks and the like are sited in odd places within suburban road networks. Also the driver is a non-native and will rely on such things, just as our HGV drivers rely on similar equipment when they're abroad.

The fisticuffs at the end just show what chavs the residents are.  ::) ::)

yep the residents are known for being mardy we collect refrigerate dloads out of a depot on that area and the houses that where built long after the distribution centre put complaints in about the reefers on trailers running.

If you are buying a house somewhere look watts there before you buy don't complain after the fact.

I agree about the residents should have heloed him  out of the situation . but he should have not just relied on his satnav. that does not tell you where cars are parked he should have asked for assistance if any doubt .

Out of context, clipping things with the blind corner of the trailer is all too easy, especially in tighter roads. Bollards and gateposts being two obvious ones :-\

Should perhaps have better assessed the road he was turning into initially...

One of my regular agency jobs is delivering kitchens to new builds, and roads like that are tight enough in an 18 tonner :-\
