Okay, seeing that it’s your intention to get the driver sacked anyway, just answer one question - did you take the picture or not? And if you didn’t then who did?
You obviously aren’t going to name this person (if they actually exist!), but just give us a clue. Co-driver? Friend? Your official in-cab Photographer?How is it going to get any driver the sack, there are no identifying marks on the trailer or the unit, he or she may be an owner driver, there is not even any markings on the steel plate
Hmm perhaps because Kate has already said she’s knows who it is?
And to Andy, let’s cut to the chase here, it was Kate who took the photo despite all the protestations to the contrary.
I’m surprised no-one has made a comment about stones and places made of glass yet.
Yes, exactly!
It doesn’t take Forensic Cross Examination to work out that (1) She knows exactly who the “offending” driver/company is. (2) She took the picture nobody else.
I Columbo the greatest of all telly techs have deduced that Kate did indeed take the picture “hands free” by the clever use of feet, a skill once learned in a past carnie life. And wait for it SHOCK HORROR 
Dah dah dan - It was infact her very own trailer, isn’t that right Scoobie old boy.

It cant be an Irish anyway because it would of had a couple of dumper trucks on top of it as well !
Wow, how clever of you. One truck gets lifted for a load of hanging and steel on the floor and you’ll never hear the end of it. Jaysis, just cos a lorry is from Ireland doesn’t mean its illegal or overweight.
Should we keep bleating on about how the english couldn’t behave themselves when they were over for a football friendly and wrecked lansdown road?
Or should we keep mentioning how we thumped the english at home in croke park in the rugby in the most historical game ever to be played in Croke park?
No, so get over yourself you numpty!
Wtf are you on about, I guess the winking emoticons kinda passed you by then …
And by spelling Jesus like"jaysus" doesn’t make you sound Irish!
Now go back to wacking off over Smokey and the bandit you might learn something …
And get a sense of humour…
Pmsl @ mrx a unit with no brakes and a dodgy load there’s a comparison!!! Most proper drivers have done something that sailed close to the wind and those that say they haven’t are either liars or done ■■■■ all. This ain’t about me it’s about a driver that’s made a decision to run with a load and a driver that’s made a decision to use a photographic device while driving lol

Actually I do have a sense of humor as it happens. I’ve read it on a lot of threads here where people take the ■■■■ of the irish because of a load of steel on a floor of a hanging trailer. That joke wears very thin very quickly like I said. It’d wear thin if I was constantly mentioning the rugby match in Croke park too.
Seriously, a reference to smokey and the bandit is the best you could come up with? How grown up of you.
And who are you, the grammar police?

WTF is a photographic device, do you mean a camera?
Are you Happy Simon?
Using a camera phone takes less effort and concentration than adjusting the heater or tuning the radio, especially when stopped as in this picture.
Steel plate on a flat trailer with only gravity & timbers to stop it sliding is a no no
Kate:
Secondly, I already said I didn’t take the photo… RobK wasn’t there and is in no position to call me a liar.
So who took the photo then? Where is Columbo when you need him??

“Whats that you say, no ■■■■■■■■’s…a big load…ah of course on the lorry”
This thread couldn’t possibly get any more insane. How did we get from a picture of an insecure load, slagging the driver off (quite rightly), through to defending him, and prosecuting kate, by kangaroo court, for being more dangerous for taking the pic, than the helmet in the photograph 
And for the “I’d get it there in one piece” brigade, I try and plan ahead as much as possible, use apropriate speed etc, but it didn’t stop me swerving into a telegraph pole at 15mph when the ■■■■ in the 7.5 tonner going the other way crossed the white line while reading his notes. If I had that load on, the force of the lorry hitting me, may well have pushed the load sideways, and could have chopped down the pole or killed a pedestrian. Allways expect the unexpected and failing to prepare is preparing to fail spring to mind

Bloody Poles, coming over here and getting involved in our accidents. 
Wheel nut I’m very happy thanks for asking are you??
A photographic device (lol) is a camera or a camera within a PHONE and I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving or it was the last time I got nicked for it!!
This thread reminds me of the ‘Basildon’ one yet again a fellow professional driver getting slaughtered for dropping a bollock I just hope the next time one of you ■■■■■ up someone is there to take a picture an post it on here.

Yes gotta watch those poles they get in the way of the pedestrians.

Oh and by the way when you refer to the English please make sure you do it with a capital E !!
Thats basic grammar …

As you, hundreds of times have said.( Probably) Mind your own ■■■■■■■ business.

Agreed, but that said, I don’t condone what I’m seeing in the picture. Personally I would speak to the driver first to get his side of the story before doing anything else. Unlikely as it may seem, there could be an entirely reasonable explanation for it.
Don’t comment on someone’s poor grammar…When you can’t use it correctly either!

The office of sheriff have been stereotyped by television with the series “Dukes of Hazzard” with descriptions as the “Boss Hog”. Sheriff Andy Taylor of the Andy Griffin Show and the memorable role played by Jackie Gleason as the bumbling Sheriff Bulford T. Justice in the movie “Smokey and the Bandit”.
Sorry that was the American spelling
