Franglais:
Ive taken chances, and done stupid things. Im sure I will again. Going throa residential area with a weight limit or going a few mph over the top or a few minutes over your hours are in a different class to this. Its not risking a fine or scratching a parked car, but life threatening. And its not how tired I am or arent, its not my skill, or lack of it. Its absolutely out of the drivers hands. No one can really judge wind speed very well, partly because we dont often experience it, and even if we could, the wind strength on shore aint the same as that 1000m from the banks and 150 m up. If Rob says we all do stupid things I cannot disagree, but this one does go too far for me.
+1 (We all have taken them)
Normandie bridge over the Seine comes to mind here Franglais, or even Tancarville, the diversion route is quite long if you’re going to Le Havre from the west or Caen from the north, but the closure is well notified in advance on the A13 and the A28. There is no way I would have ventured onto the Normandie bridge in the winds we had here on Thursday night into Friday morning. And if that bridge is closed , they mean CLOSED!
The Curries driver took a chance, ignoring all the signs and blew it ( sorry about the pun )
