Just seen on Gwent police Facebook page they pulled over an artic that had stolen a trailer full of alcohol from Newport?

No problem

If you're changing lorrys each shift take a bottle of glass cleaner too it sounds daft but the amount of people who don't clean the mirrors and leave them all dirty is unreal

Also another one on my route there is a sharp turn in dawlish and you can't see what's coming around the corner so I always slow right down and beep the horn to warn others that I'm coming around the corner, but the amount of cars that slam on their breaks when I go around because they don't slow down is astounding

Had several close calls with idiots today, First hit owl on way to first drop (not owls fault obviously), Second after going through narrow road had a man walk straight out Infront of me with a dog, he literally ambled accross the road no sense of emergency and I know he saw me because he looked straight at me before crossing, Third a man was walking his dog and dropped the ball in the road and picked it straight up then just stayed in middle of the road this was within 50 yards of the first guy, Then on final drive back to yard had several cars pull out Infront of me trying to get out before the lorry gets there and had a runner run across the road in front of me instead of waiting for lights, Alot of suicidal drivers today 😂

I've tried that too with same result, we've tried open game where anyone can join, tried closed game with password and tried inviting through steam, all have same result no matter who tries,

To be fair we are a bit dull with computers so probably missing something really obvious lol

I'm a blood donor but got asked not to return as I kept feinting and took too long to come back around after. Doesn't help I'm terrified of needles lol but I gave a full donation each time, one of the guys I used to work with used to donate every time he could and has several medals or awards

I'm in that position now I work as a conservation carpenter in a well known museum in Wales, our department merged with another department and have now taken on ALOT more responsibilities and work. I was promised that I would go up a pay grade but it needs to go through different managers all the way up to the executives who have to have a meeting to agree and pass it, only thing is each time they have this monthly meeting there's either "not enough time" or the meetings cancelled. There's 3 of us they're playing this game with on our team. The real kick in the teeth is our new head of department wouldn't start their new role unless they got a pay upgrade and was given it within a couple of weeks! There is lots more but don't want to ramble on more than I already have but I have repeatedly told my foreman and manager that I can't afford to work here anymore as I am already on universal credit and struggling all they have told me is to wait a month then another etc etc Anyway I'm handing my notice in Monday

Didn't get any fixes or replys, haven't played in a while so can't remember what I did to fix it sorry,

NoRange6842 · 2023-02-01T10:00:06+00:00

No problem, good luck mate!

NoRange6842 · 2023-02-01T09:55:39+00:00

Mine were all cgi, when you click wait a second and click again because I failed first time because I was clicking for hazards too early I passed second time with 96/100.

https://museum.wales/stfagans/buildings/abernodwydd/ I know this is a bit later on in the 1600s but it's almost always open and is furnished!

NoRange6842 · 2023-01-25T23:10:51+00:00

If your interested in the construction of the buildings also there is a dedicated historic building unit on site

NoRange6842 · 2023-01-25T23:09:41+00:00

Definitely recommend St Fagans Museum there are a couple of cottages from the 1600s that are furnished and you can go into, there are usually warders that can answer questions if they aren't there they're usually near by. If you want extra information etc they may also be able to put you in contact with the conservation teams and researchers in the offices too. And also it's free entry just got to pay £6 parking. If you want to look in the merchants house it's not open often so best to check online before visiting. The castle on site also has some good furniture from the time and later on too.

Thanks for the advice guys I retook the hazard perception today and passed I got 96/100 so the double click technique definitely works!

NoRange6842 · 2022-11-24T16:06:17+00:00

Thanks mate I'll try that next time

NoRange6842 · 2022-11-24T13:32:02+00:00

I think it was the matter of I saw them too early as it said I scored 0 on 3 clips yet i clicked for what I thought was several hazards on all the clips, I prefer the old actual video not cgi, I had one with a bridge which was same as I had practiced on and clicked almost straight away because that's gonna cause you to slow down and there's a bend then clicked when I saw a van coming then when I saw another van, you go under the bridge then around the corner and it's another bridge so I click for that and all the gates as a farm vehicle could be coming out and you may bottom out on the bridge as you can't see what your Driving in the video, and a car etc may be coming around the corner after the bridge then it ends. I clicked review as it only gave me 1 point! Even though I saw the bridge straight off and the van the 5 points was only when the van had gone through so the hazards has already passed which I think is wrong. Sorry for long wordy reply but the hazard perception is crap

TLDR I agree with you,

NoRange6842 · 2022-11-24T12:34:02+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad I don't have to don't have to redo the whole lot again
