Hi folks, drove a daf euro 6 today to and from Brough, hull, today although seamed a nice truck the thing pulled like mad everytime i hit a bit of rough road or truck runs in the tarmac. these trucks do not feel safe to me, i was overtaking a truck and one was over taking me and hit a bit of a truck run in the tarmac, and the thing was dragging me towards the inner truck. but this happened a few times on the m62 today, never been worrrid before in a truck with this as you just stay in the grove as i was. anyhow it was all over the place, i have been told the new ones have thinner wheels so tend to get pulled more. anyhow has any of you guys experienced this with this truck,because i dont like the thing over 40mph. 
Not had that problem with mine

I need a lie down in a darkened room after that shock, how the hell did you get up enough speed in a euro 6 Daf to overtake another lorry? 
Could be dozens of reasons, rubbish tyres, clouted hard enough against a kerb to put the front wheel alignment out, 5th wheel in the wrong place or the load poorly distributed leading to tail wagging the dog syndrome, dry 5th wheel, lots more possibles.
Can’t say as any Daf has ever worried me steering wise, which is more than can be said for modern MAN’s which are bloody terrifying on undulating roads or narrowish roads with damaged edges 
, not helped by a steering wheel identical to the one used in HMS Victory and needing 647 turns from lock to lock…that may be a slight exaggeration but you get my drift.
Biggest threat to safety on newer dafs i think is the stupid screen telling you about rolling saving fuel and that my driving was. “Well anticipated” I’m waiting for the screen to flash up " …aggghhhhh! What are you trying to do,kill us?"

Drove them for 2 years doing an average of 500-600km a day, never experienced it once. Suggest there’s something wrong with it. No idea why they’re saying they have thinner tyres because they don’t.
What front tyres did it have fitted? Standard or 385 super singles?
Re the road surface though, i can remember tram lines on UK motorways especially the A1M, doesnt sound like much has changed 
I run out and into Hull everyday in a daf and never experienced this?? Which firm was it for? Maybe the truck is a pile of junk??!

There’s an option in the menu to get rid of those pop up messages.Use it as it just might save your life [emoji2]
Im no fan of Euro 6 DAFs, but can not say Ive noticed a problem like that. Sounds as if there is may be a fault with that specific vehicle, rather than a design fault.

Turn Coaching off
Same as what others have said. Not a DAF fan, but never had issues like the op described.

Without driving the vehicle in question if I had to take a punt and guess the problem then my first guess would be as Juddian posted that it had a dry fifth wheel.
Thanks for the reply’s chaps, the daf in question is a hire truck temp for 6 months maybe that explains it. it cant be my load because i had under a ton on both ways as im on a bae contract were money is no object to them and send an artic for a pallet, lol i will get the mechanic to have a look at it.

Thanks for the advice im using the iveco next time a lot do not like em but i do, they pull like a train but the brakes are always temperamental 
I did drive an older MAN, proper MAN, one day that had a weird steering effect, it changed tack between accelerating and overrun like the back of the tractor unit shifted several inches to one side each time then when you went under power it would straighten up again, if you tried to move the unit with the trailer parking brake on the same sensation, i’ve had well worn fifth wheels before which gave a similar unpleasant effect.
On return popped in to see the fitters, they watched while i demonstrated and saw the problem straight away, it wasn’t 5th wheel after all, there are two really heavy top control arms (single casting as i recall) that locate the rear axle from a centre point just below the back of the 5th wheel, the bushes were all buggered at the top of the Y section and the rear axle moving about to suit itself.
Sometimes the back end can be where the problem is too.

And that is why I love drivers like you juddian …Sometimes we need the driver to demonstrate a fault ,as a random defect of vehicle drives funny really doesn’t help …

That is the sort of fault which could go through several safety inspections and an MOT undetected. I have never understood why it is only axle 1 which is put on the shaker plates.
