When i got diagnosed with Diabetes i got a Leaflet from NHS to drink a max of a Half Pint Milk a week or 1 Pint Beer :bulb:
Does that mean i am officially a dangerous Driver if i carry Milk?

Just be careful…always hold those big 6 pint bottles firmly by the handle and also supported from the bottom as they can be slippery little blighters! Prior to carrying said item and if needed, lift using the correct method…knees bent, back straight etc and carry (or nab a trolley for a bit…pushing is easier than carrying) to your mode of transport at waist level where it should be placed on the front seat wrapped in a hi-viz (to avoid soiling of the seats) and secured using just the one supplied strap (this is where the seatbelt comes in handy) and drive/brake steady, allowing for any movement of the load due to the ullage! Do that and I don’t think you’d be classed as a danger!! :laughing:

Is that a double B ? what are your weight limits in Canada ?

But back to the OP… yeah milk is dangerous if in the cab, if you spill a whole pint of it down the side of the seat like I did, its worth crying over, it stunk to the high heavens for the rest of the summer.

It can be quite dangerous if you attempt to carry it in the original container!

I had a Volvo 244DL once. It was quite a nice car until somebody squashed a four pinter in the boot. I had to sell it.
