Lucky man

And does any-one remember this accident?

Maybe they will replace the gantry now some-one has been prosecuted.

How on earth do you not realise that the trailers jacked up into the air while you’re driving, or did he not have any mirrors either?

About 1.5yrs ago I saw a tipper in exactly the same position crashed into a bridge on the M53 Northbound.

I don’t know what kind of weight those tippers are but surely you would notice a difference in handling as well.

"The oversight caused £150 worth of damage to the gantry. "

Well if it was only £150 how come they still havent replaced it! the accident happened almost a year ago!
Not the brightest thing hes ever done, could you imagine that phone call!

eh, boss are you sitting down, :laughing:

Why did the Scotsman who hit the gantry with the tipper have a Vauxhall Corsa in the back? :smiley: :wink:

Thats got to be one of the most unbeliavable things i’ve ever seen. I reckon that was his dad following him !!!

Have to wonder why the moron in the corsa didnt think to maybe flash the truck driver rather than tailgating him and ending up embedded in the trailer

come on lads he is a very experienced tipper driver :open_mouth:
