Forth bridge.

Think the driver that’s broken down in his truck on there as reported on R2 traffic is gonna be in trouble, since it’s currently shut to HGVs!!

According to traffic Scotland it never broke down. Driver got scared by the wind and stopped.

any idea who it was, there was an irish ■■■■ bragging about it yesterday, no be laughing when your on cctv and letter through the door for it

A foreigner it seems.

fair play to him

I wonder if the agency will pay his fine for him, :slight_smile:

the driver is in a foreign country and probably doesnt speak much english or understand matrix signs…

Exactly. Why don’t they use a picture of a lorry in a red circle like everywhere else in Europe.

It was only shut to high siders not Hgv,s in general

Fair play to him. He made the right decision. A picture of no trucks would have stopped him up quicker but he found himself in a dangerous position and stopped before it got real.
Correct thing to do in my eyes anyway

it might be a crazy idea,but opening the curtains and driving across might just have saved the day? :unamused:

And the rest? A van got blown around last year so he stopped on the bridge. The result was 100 hours community service, a 1 year driving ban and an extended test. The court did this on October 20th in dunfermline

Mate of mine pulled up at the toll booths there (many moons ago) and the little Scottish fella stuck his head out of the booth and said “can ye no read? It says no highsiders” my mate then looked out of his window at his tanker trailer and said “it hasn’t got any sides!” Scottish fella looked a bit perplexed then said “aye, fair point. On ye go”

If he can’t understand the signs in a specific language,should he really be driving in that country?

Does that go for the English speaking drivers also?
You know, the ones that ignore width weight height limits and the ones that ignore the same sign at the Ouse bridge on the 62.

Of course it does. But English speakers ignoring english written signs is a diferent matter than this thread. Not understanding a sign because it is in another language does not justify doing something wrong,s the poster was implying. If you cant read the signs,dont drive in that country is what im saying.

So everybody is limited to countries they understand the language in? I’ve driven lorries in most countries in Europe and only speak English and a bit of French. Managed from bangkok to the malaysian border in a car without even knowing the alphabet.

Should that be banned?

I once drove in Wales. Hadn’t a clue what the signs said. Best not go the again.
