[rigsby]

can we take it from your new user name that your child minding duties have commenced ■■

[rof_from_sprog_s]

Oh, indeed they have.
And there’s a new piddling puppy as well, just in case I’ve nothing to do!!!

Still, I’m resolved to eat and drink enough to compensate me for my trouble.

Hi Leyland600
Not at all surprising, there are some people who pass the test and get a driving licence, IMHO that does not make them drivers and never will.
Bringing it forward to top of this page, it will get more hits, pardon the pun

Exactly the same happened last year on the M62, silly woman with only forward viewing vision came galloping up the slip road (at speed), straight on without looking and was promptly “collected” by a 6 axle artic tanker just going about his business in the inside lane. Luckily no serious injuries, the daft woman was treated for shock.

WHOA let’s be using a bit of common sense making turns like that or you’ll finish up with it rusty side up.

Gonzothejaffa will remember an agency lad who did that with a full load of empty pallets in Trafford Park. The idiot said he’d done the job before- turns out he hadn’t!

Thanks to bumper and lurpak for the photos the “leaning” Campbell’s Volvo in bumper’s photo reminds me of the my time on transporters (artics) and the top deck front overhang lagging behind the unit at 90 degree junctions giving the impression of parting company and not unusually unnerving passersby until they saw the thing straight again.
The Carrimore wagon and drag drawbar unit when loaded had a tendency to lean on corners and had to be treated with respect.

hi oilreader, the photos that I posted yesterday and these ones today were taken at the traffic lights on the exit from the docks at Holyhead, bit of a deceiving camber as they turn right, could a bit of a problem if loaded with swing beef , not many of these motors still grafting, both clean and tidy motors. bumper

Thanks again to bumper for couple of older wagons

Back to the 70s/80s with grateful thanks to John Wakely for sharing.
