2 if you ever hit anything stop and take pictures exactly where you are that way no one can claim against extra damage
that was my biggest mistake I've never hit anything in my life so it wasn't too sure how to handle it in fairness
we all do it m8 and we all stand there first time and think wtf do I need to do. The key is we learn from it and move forward. Explain everything to your company it’s up to them to fight it and ask for cctv footage

I didn’t say refuse a banksman, I said don’t trust them there is a huge difference in the two

If your ever going to trust a banksman. Make sure they are a qualified banksman and there is cctv in the area. Then don’t trust him and proceed with caution.

In a small update today's not been so bad thus far went to a site and the banksman was actually quite good. I've not hit anything yet and I've just made it to the services in time for my break. I'm amazed they let me back in in the wagon to be fair

I spoke to my companies national transport hub this evening as I had insurance companies contact me directly with my personal details. Luckily for me my transport hub said that shouldn't have happened and as far as concerned I can draw a line under it.

Don’t worry about it bud, I’ve had worse days than that. Just stand by the facts and you can’t do any more than that
