There are 3 videos in all

Should be censored , theres blokes there in trainers and muddy boots with dodgy moustachios hopping about, indeed pirhouetting on top of half submerged cars, theres coppers that didn’t look like Irish paramilitaries or the SAS and had a sense of humour.

Barely a Hi Viz or safety helmet in sight, those blokes surely have a claim against someone for allowing them to enjoy their work and act the goat at every opportunity without some bloody jobworth breathing dowm their necks.

Good days they were, thank for posting the link.

All very different then, motorway cops had Range Rovers with chains in the back.

Arrive on scene, drag wreckage to shoulder, sweep up - job done.

And get these chaps in for the heavy stuff.

1986 doesn’t seem that long ago, but looking at that video, it seems like another planet. I think it all really changed when these no win no fee lawyers were allowed to tout for work and now a whole H&S industry has grown up,round it.

Yeah like the Milton Pipes ERF who after having had his shed load sorted out drove off with niether rope strap or chain in sight, brill. If only that clock would go t’other way. H&S PC sux!

Some of the locations now.

2.17 maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.3 … 37.16,0,0

4.50 The road where the van rolled under the railway bridge is still subject to the national speed limit.Except now it’s one way.

maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.3 … 55.52,0,0

6.04 They’ve sadly reduced the speed limit on the Kingston by Pass to 50 mph from the national speed limit since then because too many drivers couldn’t handle the speeds.

maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.4 … 53.11,0,0

8.18 The van and the milk cart.They’ve blocked off the service road since which the milk cart seems to have entered the A3 from and the speeds on the road as above weren’t really suitable for milk carts to enter it.

Brilliant… blokes using their loaf. Get stuck in, job done. As Juddian said, there’s everyone with a sense of humour.

[davyboy]

Why were these roads not closed for at least 8hrs while hato,vosa,h+s,accident investigation all crawled over the “major incident scene”

Here’s what we should all be nostalgic about from the 80’s…
