Well folks we have had two very bad accidents
inside the last 7days, the first was by Kammen
Kreuz and 6 people died,
look HERE
AND then on FRIDAY BY VENLO;
try looking HERE
HERE 1 person died,
The accidents that happened were
all at the rear end of a traffic jam where the
driver of the lorry which hit the rear end vehicle
was not payiing enough attention ,The enforcement offices
have said that more and frequent controls will be carried out and
that speeding, working
and driveing too long , and NOT enough
distance betweeen vehicles being kept,
Be warned that you may be stopped and checked
also KEEP your Distance at ALL times
Yeah, but what they didnt say that it was probably the campany to blame. I noticed the lorry driver carrying the steel girders had just left Duisburg, which means he came from the same place as I go to every week. We have a contract with Rheinkraft which is responsible for taking out 80 percent of the goods taken out of Thyssen, the biggest metal producing company in NRW based in Duisburg. Rheinkraft push their drivers to the limit it is no wonder that these accidents are waiting to happen .
Thank god our company is gettting rid of them and we will be switching to container work instead.
I feel sorry for the family and friends of the deceased and my heart goes out to them.
But before the papers start jumping to the immediate conclusion that the driver was fatigued and lost concentration they should be looking at why
