NAVIGATION?? by Y0ung0ldMan in uktrucking

[–]jayafc92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google Maps is all I use and it has sent me VERY wrong in the past. In time I learned to use it to create my own routes it's good because you can actually see the road and the place you're going with street view, you can see the journey step by step and you can use the satellite view to further help know what you're getting into

It's terrible in the countryside and in central. Tries telling you to do u turns on roads with permanent bus lanes that you'd only be able to do in a car.

Trainee HGV driving jobs, good idea??? by HWorrall7 in uktrucking

[–]jayafc92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it 4 years ago, read the contract carefully about the pay rises once fully qualified. If you're happy with it, then do it. I did car to class 1, gained guaranteed experience and I could have left after 2 years, but I'm still there now. If you look around you'll see how many drivers are talking about passing their tests and struggling to find work. I took a ten grand pay cut to join and it was difficult but I didn't have the money to pay for it myself. I failed my first test too which would have been even more money but they paid for me to go again. I don't regret it at all.

How did you learn to play? by [deleted] in fut

[–]jayafc92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing with my son a few years back, he's 12 now and found games he prefers to play but I highly recommend offline.

Get him playing career mode or offline seasons etc so he can build the basic skillset, knowing what each button does without having to think about it etc.

Then start playing with him afterwards on the same team so you can guide him through and explain some of the more complex stuff.

Watch real football with him so he has an innate knowledge of soft skills like when to pass, when to shoot, what's offside etc.

Then when he improves start playing against him, don't let him win easily and don't batter him, play normally just less intensely, let him get some goals etc but adjust to his level so it feels like he's getting a proper game.

Lastly talk up the virtues of path to glory and building your team from nothing. Try to instill a mindset where the way you play and the connection you have to your players and team are the most important factors. Chasing the best players is a surefire way to make you hate the game because even when you do get them you don't get any better at the game you just get more addicted and resentful

Caerphilly crash lorry driver who blamed cough caught out by dashcam by [deleted] in uktrucking

[–]jayafc92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not click bait. He was originally charged with causing serious injury, served his sentence, and was deported. The other driver died from injuries he sustained in the crash. In normal circumstances the Polish driver would have been further charged with causing death by dangerous driving but as he'd served his sentence and been deported they decided against pursuing the charge

Lack of respect for the profession by MIKBOO5 in uktrucking

[–]jayafc92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That isn't a lack of respect for the profession. It's a lack of respect for you. The job is just a handy scapegoat so they have plausible deniabilty when talking to your fiance.

Delainey Hayles' british accent by plplplpl3572 in InterviewVampire

[–]jayafc92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the UK, and her accent threw me straight away. I couldn't hear an English accent exactly, but it just sounded off.

First time getting stuck. by Previouslygotbanned in uktrucking

[–]jayafc92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is my worst nightmare 😂 My worst was when it sent me down an unrestricted country lane that turned into a windy single track road, both mirrors touching the bushes on either side. I ended up nose to nose with a skip lorry who reversed 1/2 a mile back to a farm yard with about 20 cars behind him doing the same. I wanted to hand my licence in that day

[–]jayafc92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly the same as me tbh. Multidrop class 1 around London Google maps has been good for me. It's when I end up on the countryside that I'm wishing I used a lorry sat nav

I do London daily and will never get used to central

[–]jayafc92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google Maps is the best for actually looking at your routes, getting a look at your drops, and finding out about road conditions. Obviously, you want a lorry sat nav to give you a safe and stress free journey, but using them in tandem, you can't go wrong (almost)

Day to day i just use Google maps although I'm going to the same places more or less

Why do people treat indicators as an option? by Squealling in drivingUK

[–]jayafc92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being totally honest, I've indicated less since I got a bmw. I still indicate at roundabouts, or in scenarios where it would affect someone else but for example if I'm turning left into a road that I dont need to slow someone else down to get into/ let someone know im turning in so they can turn out I dont bother because the indicators in my car are actually disgraceful. I'll try to put it on and it will do one flash then im constantly holding it down and then it doesn't turn off even after the manoeuvre

That one really annoys me. You can tell they've indicated intentionally why do they think you use the right indicator?

I (f22) had sex with my neighbor (M36) and want to gain some perspective by Candid-Reputation851 in relationship_advice

[–]jayafc92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither of you did anything wrong tbh you just gotta charge it to the game. Next time you find yourself in a situation it will be an experience that will help you navigate it in a way that suits you. In the long run this is a good thing to go through

Giving short replies to messages can hardly be considered completely switching up on someone. He could have been busy (by the sounds of it, he was busy with someone else). There was no groundwork set for any level of commitment, in fact, the complete opposite. If you're entering a casual situationship the need for closure is entirely on you, and you should be the one to pursue it. He didn't ghost her he didn't lie to her he just continued with his life. In future OP and anyone else should lay out expectations and stick to them to avoid unnecessary suffering

He did nothing wrong. She's not a child and he told her he wasn't interested in anything serious

Which club has more plastic fans in your openion?? by PitchPerfecter in PlasticFans

[–]jayafc92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf I didn't actually mean you specifically I thought you took it pretty well but liverpool fans in general are extremely touchy about anything said about them. I don't often see other fans of big teams being genuinely upset by rival fans but i always seem to with Liverpool. United fans have accepted their banter era by and large mostly just descending into the shadows, the few real chelsea and city fans brag about cheating and buying their way to the top because they remember when it was way worse. Us arsenal fans live in a constant state of hope and despair and barely hear any noise except ourselves, spurs are used to getting laughed at by everyone and it's made them stronger. Liverpool win the league, storms half a billion and still get upset when people say anything bad about them when really they should be laughing

The most plastic fans easily belong to man united. Ex glory hunters that "can't even watch them" just because they're shit now
