Reversing is easy enough if you take your time and wait and see where your trailer is going. If the trailer is in your mirror and you don't want it there then steer at it and remember less is more, a little bit of lock is easier to remove than a lot.


And if it starts going, you are better off pulling forward again to straighten up than keep going & loose it.

I think it's just one of those innate things - like singing in tune or being able to roll your tongue. If you are born without the right gene, there is just no chance.

I don't know about singing in tune but I can roll my tongue so fair enough.

Nope, the more you do it the easier it becomes. I think it should be part of the test- if you can't master R, you can't move on the 1st.

I wasn't going to mention being an artic driver on an enviromentally sound site but someone needs to get the food produced around here to somewhere that people can buy it.

I couldn't agree more and it would make my job easier if people understood the blindspots because it was part of the test.

Sadly this is true.

And yes I have had a lot of practice but I still have bad days.

Sorry to digress slightly but if you raised two pigs over the space of a year and slaughtered them in the autumn how much meat would you get and how long would it feed a family of four for. Or are their too many variables to answer that properly?


At about 6 months old, you will get in the region of 160 lb of meat (bone in) per pig. As to how long it lasts - depends on how often you want to eat pork or bacon.


Thanks, should be able to work it out from that.
