……..makes us Brits stand out from the crowd ! Why would a British Haulier want a left hand drive truck ? I’ve spent over 20 years driving HGV’s all over Europe .One of my old bosses asked me if I’d prefer my next truck to have left hand drive seeing as I spent more time in Europe than in the Uk I told him no way ! I want to keep my British identity and stand out from all the rest of the Johnnie foreigner trucks 😉!

@@stupididiot6116 I always found it quite handy going up and down from the Blanc on the old roads past the Monkey House and to Aosta. Looking into a valley out the window sharpened the eyesight no end! Some Italian areas used to demand the trucks were Right Hand Drive because of the mountain roads.

@@1chish ….always used the tunnel de frejus when going into Italy . The drive is beautiful going through Chambery in France and heading towards the Alps. Used to work for a firm in Birmingham that did work for Anglo overseas and this involved a lot of work into France ,Switzerland & Italy . Used to always backload out of a firm in Bergamo called Intertransporti with groupage back to the uk . Used to stop at a truck stop regularly by Milan ( I’ve forgotten the name) but there used to be an old guy who sat in a chair and you bunged him a couple of quid to make sure you could get parked up in such a way that you could get away easily the next morning without being blocked in . Used to fill up in Suza on the way back as I headed back towards frejus tunnel . 👍🚛

@@1chish Correct - like old swiss buses, too. My father was a bus driver in the 70ies, he told me it was an adventure to drive in the narrow and steep swiss Alpine passes with a LHD coach (Mercedes O 302). In addition, the swiss trucks and buses there were only 2.30 m wide, not 2.50 m. That was also an advantage. Best regards from Swabia

@@stefankassbohrer2765 Swiss registered trucks were also 2.3 M wide but you could drive from Basel to Chiasso on the autobahn paying a transit fee with 2.5 M trucks as a concession. The wider 2.6 M Fridge trucks were not allowed but we tried to get past the border guards with them. I got caught once and had to go all the way back round to Mt Blanc! I used to do a run from the UK to Como / Chiasso TIR park at Monte Lucino and then on round northern Italy. Always loved the Swiss transits.
