Iwas slowly crawling up the M42/A42 this morning about 0430, hauling a 9ft3ins wide plant room on a lowloader. The trailier had yuellow rotating beacons to rear, and at the max width points I had got LED lights and reflaective tape to show how wide I was.
So I was rather surprised to have a BMW hit the rear corner of the load, and rip out all the passenger side of the car,
Ah well one less Beemer - I hear you say!!
But the driver of the car then accused me of being too wide for the carriageway, and the Plod which attended seemed to agree.
So youv’e got those rotating beacons on the rear destroying everybody’s eyesight and someone then crashes into you,I trust you will be giving him a new Beamer
for his trouble.

maybe you should have driven a bit closer to the hard shoulder
or even taken up 6 inches of the hard shoulder
Erm, is it not illegal to drive on hard shoulder ■■? maybe the driver should of had a ■■■■■■ vehicle with him in lane 2 … but that would be to easy huh!
Hang on. Instead of telling the OP what he should have done, how about stating the bleeding obvious. The BMW driver drove into him! There was plenty of room and if there wasn’t he shouldn’t have tried passing!
Unless the OP was illegal in anyway, and frankly, even if he was, the car driver is the blatant numpty and wholly to blame!

Why would he need an ■■■■■■ vehicle blocking lane 2 when he’s only 9’3" ■■ It’s not necessary or required. He probably had 6-8 inches off each side so barely wider than his mirror arms. The beemer passed him less than 8 inches from the edge of the trailer bed and is therefore a tool of the highest order

Are you serious or is this a windup? an ■■■■■■ he,s only got 7inch o/hang both sides,showing revolving lanterns,lights on extremities,if the beemer driver couldn,t see all that he/she shouldant be driving.Perhaps avisit to specsavers might help.
