Jack-knifed lorry inches from falling off bridge
I’ve been pushed straight ahead instead of turning with a moffett on the back of the trailer. Not a nice feeling. I’d imagine it would be worse if all I could see was a drop onto a motorway in front of me

On the plus side, he’s got himself some nice long washing lines to dry his clothes on.
If it’s the part of the 25 i’m thinking of, there are some bad tramlines there that can catch you out.
some odd skid marks there
not just in his pants either
I’m surprised he didn’t just drive forward a bit to get it off the edge.

Erm, with no drive axle in contact with the road?

Could’ve at least tried.

CF would have simply used the Moffet to pull it to safety and cracked on…

There is a video on FB, recorded by the car behind.

It looks like not enough weight on the pin to counter the moffet lifting it and the tail then predictably wagging the dog.
Faaaaaark
That’s a bit of a odd one, carnt see what cause him to lose control.

It should be a wake up call for all the idiots (bound to be a few on here, you know who you are) who drive like dicks as if they are driving a car, without a care in the world, and as a matter of daily routine…
What can happen when things go wrong.

Correct.
Physics…Weight cannot go straight as brakes are preventing, so it has to go somewhere, somewhere has a pivot point, so it then goes to one side or the other.
When the trailer wags you usually just slow down naturally and drive like you are on ice…My experience anyways and always more interesting down a steep hill

Yep, googlefast correct for once. Would have liked to have seen the 10 seconds or so before the footage started. Often when this period is cut out it’s because the filming party was the instigator. :scratchchin:
