We've all been there, right? You approach a road that in the ideal world you'd like to go down but it looks a tad tight, sometimes we go for it anyway and it all works out....... then there's the odd time when it doesn't work out and you have to back up, well, most people would back up hehe

At what point would you decide to pull out (ooo err missus)?

For me, it's when both mirrors are folded in by something solid, hope I never get into that situation though.

Please include pictures if you have them of crazy tight fits that have gone wrong, or right.

Mate, we've already had two down this morning larger than yours...
Yup, hear that one at least a couple of times a month. There is one particular farm down Minehead way, I refuse to deliver there unless the office stick me in a Sprinter. The owners of said farm insist that they get much bigger lorries than our 15 tonne multi-drop vehicles - "our livestock wagons come down here all the time"

Technically we can get down there, but not without major scrapage, driving over rocks and through bushes. My accident bonus is worth the hassle I get from the office.

As an aside, with the picture above, I'd be panicking like mad! Not like he can reverse very easily and no way he's using the doors to get out eek
