This guy didn’t leave home this morning wanting to be upside down in his cab…
All he was doing was trying to earn a living and some tube obviously forced him over too far.
This sort of thing is just not right…highways agencies, police, county councils etc etc need to be more accountable.
Where is it “obvious” some tube forced him over too far?
First time I’ve seen 'courtesy ’ and ‘tipper driver’ in one sentence…
A driver of a 26 tonne truck should have some idea of how close he can get to the edge before it all goes wrong.
You can’t expect councils to be responsible for every country lane unless you’re willing to pay for it.

Yes of course…you’re right…he just chose to drive off the road…
The days must just fly by for you !

Road Tax was abolished in the 1930’s…

Road Tax has never been abolished…it’s a generic term…

to a certain extent you are right,but we all know the money the councils get for roads that a lot goes elsewhere and not where it’s supposed to go,and when they do get pulled over incidents like this they start bleating that they don’t have the money.

Doesn’t matter which tax, if you expect councils to maintain every single country lane to a high standard then your taxes will go through the roof.
Drivers have to be responsible for what they’re doing, and in this case he was obviously too far over, in fact the first photo looks like he may have had the outer wheels off the tarmac.

I bet that particular tipper driver has never,ever forced another road user over too far

A class II tipper driver passed me like a bat out of hell once on the A71 coming out of Irvine in the most inopportune place because I was driving to the speed limits & held a pillow up to me as he passed.

Bloody rude that is, I’ll see his pillow and raise him 2 scatter cushions and a pink nightie.

LOL I mustn’t have been driving fast enough for him as it was sending him to sleep.

Yes, they are and we do, in general taxation (not vehicle duty which is not ring-fenced for road maintenance but goes into the general tax pot). County councils are responsible for all public roads except trunk roads - if this lane was unsuitable for trucks it should have been signposted as such, made suitable or a weight restriction imposed.
