Anyone else see this on CH5, you can also watch it on My5 catch up, Can you relate to some of the incidents? I certainly could not to some of them although I have caught a wooden post when reversing (minor scuff) and did right off an awning trying to get through a gap between a large truck and the kerb. I forgot the awning rail stuck out just that little bit more than the side mirrors and didn't realise the truck was leaning over making the top space narrower than the bottom.

I thought that most of the things shown were done deliberately for the benefit of making a recording to post on the Internet. Even the ones that did start off accidentally were blown out of proportion and could have been dealt with without the hyped drama.  However, everyone to their own.

Indeed difficult to relate to some and certainly pleased that we’ve not been infested with spiders that size. However, did catch the rear light cluster on a gate post when reversing, costing £350. Although I thought I got of lightly, (pun intended) it could have been so much worse if I had hit the rear panel rather than the light. It’s so easy to misjudge, even with a reversing camera.
