Another 'close shave' thread

Front pager in last nights Leicester Mercury

Very lucky, but loving the comment-

Almost crushed to death by over-priced electricals and chavvy Elizabeth Duke jewellery.

It’s a nightmare alright.

Bloody hell, I hope they do the Lotto tonight, something was watching over them.

What was the ‘problem’, going too fast around the roundabout??

Too fast or it was loaded top heavy or a combination of both.

No mention of the Argos driver…hope he’s ok.

No mention of the Ex Argos driver…hope he’s ok.

An Argos spokesman declined to comment further on the accident, but added: ‘The driver of the Argos lorry was not injured.’

Don’t Stop for it, Argos it :stuck_out_tongue:

As an aside, a container had gone over last night in Basingstoke right here. I was passing just after 1am and recovery looked just about to get cracking.

Driver obviously not experienced with double deckers!

Never liked Argos ever since one of their 7.5 tonne drivers ran me up a roundabout and ripped the front of my mint Celica. Coulda got an artic around that without running cars up the roundabout! Very angry, no witnesses so classed as 50/50! Hate em!
Glad the driver was ok here though, there but for the grace of god!

possible to check layout

Cartwights reckon you can put 60% of the load weight on the top deck
