A mate was involved in an accident when a truck pulled out immediately in front of him and he struck the rear quarter of it. He was injured when a small fridge on the top bunk shot forward and struck his head. He needed a few stiches in it.

Didn’t save the windscreen though.

Merve the Swerve from Bath turned over his lorry on a Portuguese round trip to get a nasty head injury from the loose ratchet straps stored inside the cab.

When drivers used to change their own blow out tyres,we would have the wheel brace’s, bottle jacks and tools loose in the cab if the side storage lockers were full up with food.

Remember the long scaffolding pole to get rusty wheel nuts loose.

A Portuguese couple who always drove with no seat belts learnt the hard way in a collision with a lorry, as a passenger she put her arms out to protect herself on impact.

She went through the windscreen and as the cab was demounted from the chassis she lost her arm as the sun visor at the top of the windscreen chopped it off.
