I guess the first case driver had his/her accident and the second 2 had their brakes fail so both bailed it into the ditch and thank goodness JD’s come with fully working brakes

From what I’m told the one in the middle had his incident then the one on the right tried too sneak round him and his trailer fell over... then the one on the left wasn’t all that bright and thought he could maybe sneak round too and then his trailer fell over too..
 
I've seen this kind of thing happen before. You take a loaded trailer on to a soft verge this time of year and the thing sinks in 8 inches and suddenly it's all looking a bit wobbly. Same with turning into gateways or pulling over to let cars pass. Mind I've seen a trailer go over coming out and up over a river bank and even in a field when the ground was very soft one side.

To be honest I don't know if having wider floaty wheels and tyres on the trailer is better or worse than super singles as the trailers tend to sit a bit higher?
