Driver thinks this is not a problem or dangerous

[chaparral]

This was in my local paper today and the driver didn't think it was a problem or dangerous

Officers drew the conclusion that he seemed he was not fazed by the risk he had posed to others and he did not seem to share their safety concerns. He said he had been doing that sort of thing for years without accident and did not see a problem.

What a bellhousing!

 

[Nasher]

Wow.

Didn't someone die that way in a movie?

 

[smilertoo]

Potentially lethal and he got a whole 3 months ban.

Now if there was some sort of High-Vis indicator on it I could understand but to have it 'out there' without any indication or markings is incredibly dangerous.

 

[Diddums]

Bloody hell

 

[Howard]

That’s a bit Final Destination, that

Or just use a suitable hauler for the load!

It's a shame an armoured vehicle didn't rear end him, he would probably understand then.

 

[D3K]

That made me shudder. Pleading ignorance like that deserves a harsher punishment.

And look at the state of those tyres. Did he fish them out of a bonfire?!

 

[Scania]

It’s bad enough when you see such a thing with a high viz jacket tied around the end - but at least they tried of a fashion, that guys just a weapons grade ****.

Could be interesting going round a small roundabout.

 

[Rids]

That drew a physical response from me - lucky he hasn't killed somebody.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Like Final Destination that

Police say it nearly hit the windscreen of a car that was on the roundabout

The court heard that police officers on mobile patrol at the bottom of St Julian’s Avenue saw the end of the beam cross into the adjacent lane and nearly hit the windscreen of a small hatchback which was being driven on the Weighbridge roundabout as the lorry turned.

007, licence to kill. What a tool.

 

[LEUVEN]

Those straps look like they're just tied in knots.
Probably should be using chains instead of straps.

 

[lordrobs]

Yeah, I wouldn't be driving behind that

That is plain stupidity - Going back to around 1965 I was on my scooter just waiting to turn under the arch at Lewis's in Birmingham when for some reason I looked behind me and coming up was one of those three wheeler artic trucks they had on New st station - as he came round the left hand corner a large length of timber slid across trailer bed and hung over the side by quite a few feet - I ducked just in time and it went over my head - those were non crash hat days - so as far as this plonker goes 3 months was a let off.

Used to see **** like all the time back in the day, usually with a piece of cloth tied to it. These days though, not so much. Although when I picked up the new motor the week before last I did find myself sat nervously behind a flatbed Transit that was piled up to about 20' like some insane game of Jenga. When he pulled off from the lights my heart skipped a few beats.
