Surrey Police

Interesting thing to put on twitter

Officers are on the hunt for an HGV in the area of #M25 #A3 Jct 10. We know there’ll be many but this one is possibly on fire driving along

not that impossible, Ive followed a wagon before with a trailer tyre on fire, took three others flashing and beeping at him to get him to pull over.

Immigrants probably lit a fire in the wagon to cook their dinner and dry their clothes. :smiling_imp: :laughing:

This guy didnt know till a five minutes later when two cops had to chase after him to tell him! :laughing:

Do vehicle manufactures not fit big shiny things anymore? normally called “mirrors” :open_mouth:

They do - But if the fire is inside the load space or (as it often the case) in/around the trailer brakes, you won’t necessarily see it in the mirrors.

Its probably just some trucker vaping…lol

will say it before anyone else Agency driver !

They do but they can’t defeat the laws of physics.

Course, the prat stood right opposite with his phone camera could have walked over and actually said “you’re on fire mate.”
Anyway, as lad I was on the way back from Pompey with the old man, in the dark, loaded with spuds on a single axle trailer, around mid fifties. He stopped without saying anything except telling me to get out, which I dutifully did to be greeted by a lovely warm feeling from the n/s trailer tyre as well as smoke and flames and all sorts of ■■■■. He applied the trailer handbrake and dropped it (scammell coupling) and we ■■■■■■ off leaving the locals to help theirselves to baked spuds. Called the fire brigade from the caff near Hindhead. :laughing:

Yes,but if he puts his phone down to tell the guy then he might miss his oppertunity to get a “viral” video. To some,thats much more important than anything else

Yer not wrong. :angry:
