Bradford on Avon Lorry Watch

The local paper reports an Irish haulier ignored the weight limit signs.
The driver saw the Saga coffin dodgers on the bridge, so he did a U turn and knocked down a street light.
Shop owners ran out in the road to stop him but he drove off.
The Lorry Watch member quotes that he should have driven over the weight limit bridge rather than damage street furniture.
He still would have recorded his number plate, where Trading Standards contact the DVLA and a court appearance with a £ 1000 fine.
Do gooders,don’t you just love them.
Don’t know how he did a U turn in an artic by the coffee shop, I would say it was impossible.?

Report by the Tang Wavers Association Trust…

Tang Trucker was keeping it lit so he didn’t see the signs so he didn’t (the windscreen is for displaying dreamcatchers and bullfighter spears in, so it is to be sure). That steering wheel knob must’ve finally come in useful for turning around, and identification was made difficult because the rear number plate was obscured by a “King of The Road” mudflap.
Top of the morning to you all, 'tis a fine afternoon so it is, may God go with you.

The report in the ■■■■ mag also stipulates
the Tang driver feet slipped on the pedals due to wearing dealer boots.
Local shop owners lost money due to running out to see if it was Steady Eddie.

The weight limit is there for a very good reason. It is clearly marked well in advance, and even if you drive into BoA there are sensible options to divert. Only knobs would deliberately try to drive over that bridge.

It’s not really there for a good reason as such it is a nimby limit the bridge is structurally sound.

They are getting plenty of dosh out of the fines.

The bridge has been around since the 13th century and widened in 1769.
Buses and large coaches use it daily.

And with the A36 shut for several months this will no doubt happen again.

In a foreign Lgv, they won’t be fined, only UK vehicles due to tracing them via the DVLA.
All fair and square in the harmonised EU.

Rains worth by-pass was shut the other night ,went through blidworth ,18t limit ,I await a letter

sure he was on the bang blowing her through the town to miss the vosa on the bypass.no sense in having to stop and pull the magnets off…his mishap was not due to the dealer boots as he hadnt time to put them on cos he cabbed it on the ferry and slept through the door opening siren,but was caused by the ben sherman check shirt blowing open and the gold belcher catching on the steering wheel nob as he was spinning her round.the resulting tug on his neck then caused him to drop one of the mobiles he was simoltaneously using(he was onto the wife as well as the office at the same time) when he grabbed for it in mid spin his ■■■ lit the tassles on the peekaboos which were extinguished by his quick reaction of spitting out a can of red bull he was also drinking out of…and you think the tangs have an easy life just because we overtake you off the limiter■■?.keep er lit…hey bhoy,were all sucking diesel now. :smiley:
