I used to work with a dope who had a VW Golf for 3 years before he realised it had a fifth gear.

So come on Roymundo, what distance has the guy at your place managed?
The answer is “Nobody knows.” The driver concerned didn’t mention what he had done, quietly dropped the (empty) trailer and returned with a loaded one as planned. Two days later another driver found all six tyres down to the wires when he went to pick it up. The thick black lines leading out of our yard and out through the industrial estate were plain for all to see. I reckon he’d done at least a mile or two.

Think Lucy should teach drivers as an after you pass course with course titles such as “101 ways to get away with it”. (Could be a new article).
Hmmmm…now there’s a thought… 
Went about a mile before the smoke billowing from the wheels alerted me to the possibility something wasnt quite right.
Was a full load of milk so the weight was making the wheels turn rather than dragging the tyres. Was lucky not to see the whole trailer go up in flames
