Harry Monk:
No need to involve the Police or judicial system here, after just two posts on TruckNet we know exactly how it happened and what the penalty should be.
yeah but come on Harry, of course it’s the bin drivers fault.
So the dustcart’s brakes were working perfectly when you and VOSA inspected them?
Oh never mind, someone get a rope and find a tree, the driver had a fair trial here and he should face the music!
Yes the brakes are working fine because if they weren’t, then the driver would have spotted this when he was doing a brake test as part of his daily checks before he took the lorry out on the public highway
I hope the firm who are recovering the bin wagon told the council they only go down that street once every two weeks, and that they’ll need the truck putting in the correct position to be recovered or they’ll just leave it.

Beheading is far too quick. The driver should be beaten and then burnt alive and the whole thing should be televised live on Channel 5 so everybody can enjoy it.
Totally agree,
Public beheading is the only way, but only if the person Wielding the axe is a driver who has never made a mistake.
Then whom would wield the axe my friend…whom?
Me, it’s well known I’m Europes finest driver. I never make mistakes…
Well maybe, but at least you drive Europe’s finest truck, (please note, this is the view of the poster and should be taken as such) so sharpen that axe you’re about as close as we’re going to get.
Oh! By the way does Public Beheading for motoring offenses sit well with your pinko lefty views?

Don’t forget get you go far enough left you’re in Stalin and Mao territory…
I see your politics are very similar to mine. After the revolution when I come to power, I shall promote freedom of speech and thought, provided the people say what I what them to say and think what I want them to think.
The rest are up against the wall.
One thing for sure they’ll be a lot of work for bricklayers in my new state, as it’s going to be a very long wall.
TTX boy:
you dont need to leave lights on in a 30 mph zone.
In fact, the law is the complete and total opposite to that, you only have to leave your lights on if you are parked in a 30mph zone.
Sorry Harry, think you got that wrong: (my bold highlighting)
(and TTX boy should know better if an HGV driver)
248 You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space. Laws CUR reg 101 & RVLR reg 24 249 All vehicles MUST display parking lights when parked on a road or a lay-by on a road with a speed limit greater than 30 mph (48 km/h). Law RVLR reg 24 250 Cars, goods vehicles not exceeding 1525 kg unladen weight, invalid carriages, motorcycles and pedal cycles may be parked without lights on a road (or lay-by) with a speed limit of 30 mph (48 km/h) or less if they are at least 10 metres (32 feet) away from any junction, close to the kerb and facing in the direction of the traffic flow in a recognised parking place or lay-by. Other vehicles and trailers, and all vehicles with projecting loads, MUST NOT be left on a road at night without lights. Laws RVLR reg 24 & CUR reg 82(7)
I saw a ‘parked-up-ready-to-happen’ near miss on the A48 just west of the filling station at Caxton Gibbet earlier on this week, A 360 shovel/digger on a low loader with the tracks overhanging the trailer by about 18 inches each side. Skinny little lay-by, unlit, and definitely overhanging the road. Only just managed to scrape by…
yeah but come on Harry, of course it’s the bin drivers fault.
