what's it like to drive a lorry?

[trashpony]

me too

Do you get to drive a tractor at diggerworld? I want to drive a tractor... only a short distance, just once

I've got a tractor driving certificate. I can do three point hitching and reverse a trailer round a corner and through a narrow passage. It's never really come in handy I have to say

Driving a lorry is pretty much like driving a very big car.

Unless it's articulated - in which case weird things can happen when you're trying to reverse it.

I used to drive one of these...

It was great... It had one of them air horns and everything

One of the other drivers forgot how high up he was once, jumped out, and promptly broke his ankle!

I want one of them air horns on me car. I was a bit pissed off to discover that you need a compressed air supply

You can buy air horns for cars. You used to be able to get ones that played tunes, although I seem to remember that you can't have those any more, unless on really old cars.

They won't be as loud as the ones on trucks, though.
