Anybody get caught up in the fracas at salt union winsford ? Somebody must have got a picture of Richard Longs wagon that had slid off the weighbridge and wedged it self between weighbridge and portacabin?

2

Can someone tell me how a truck slides off a weighbridge? Driven off I could understand… but slide off?

3

Some do not have a guide rail or post at the side of the weigh bridge, so he may got the wheels off that way.

i take it, in that photo, Iain is on the phone to Mr Long trying to explain how and when he is going to pay for the repairs to the truck whilst being unemployed :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Haha. When I read the first post I thought no way, that didn’t happen. Because that weighbridge is literally straight on and straight off, impossible to ■■■■ up.

I’ve overslept 5 hours and then gone on to obliterate a brand new drive tyre on a tricky weighbridge that artics aren’t supposed to go on. Not a proud day.

After his antics on the a511 between Coalville and ashby yesterday(Friday) I’d say his a likely candidate for doing something very similar !!!

looks like he has gone on to the bridge, messed it up and tried to reverse into position, is it that tight there?
