Drove past this on the little B road which runs parallel with the M1. Merc recovery truck was practically bent in half and the can of the wagon carrying steel was a total mess - it looked like it had gone under the back of the milk trailer, I’ve been convinced all day that someone had been killed. Very glad to hear that i’m wrong.
Just goes to show again, your not safe on the hard shoulder. - time to cone off a lane when theres a breakdown? discuss…
Glad everyone’s alive. Not sure about conning the lane off for every breakdown, safe idea but i think the roads would soon grind to a halt.
Maybe more driver education to concentrate on looking forward rather than at what is going on.
buys a firm and within 3 weeks there new stobart scanias and stobart livered fridges arriving in the yard,
whats happened to long lead times , thought they were 6 + months for new trucks.
not sure about trailers but 3 weeks appx to order and get them decaled out seems quick to me
karl67:
can’t see how you can manage to hit a artic parked on the h/shoulder of a m/way.
no wonder people haven’t got any time for lorry drivers.
People sometimes get it wrong…that’s what makes us people in the first place.
I can’t defend the driver who hit the van (I don’t know the circumstances), but I say that it’s human nature to occasionally make a mistake here and there. Did you never make one yourself? I’m not having a go at you fella, but it’s unwise to jump to conlusions when you don’t have all the relevant information (5 knuckle shuffle indeed ).
