Hay, stop! Tractors on 90 mile journey cause traffic chaos

DRIVERS in Romsey faced heavy delays this morning as two tractors were forced to stop at a bridge.

At least they stopped in time compared to any time you hear about a lorry coming to a low bridge

Road looks wide enough to just turn around. The joys of a bogey.
If there were two of them it’s a pity they didn’t help each other out and be gone before any drama.

Would of gone under with minnie super singles on.

 

[agrimax]

Or if the bridge was higher...

This bridge is notorious. More accidents than I could shake a stick at.
90 miles with a tractor? Must have breached some regulation - probably should have been using DERV, and possibly taxed as HGV to be fully legal?

Driving 90 miles, I think I'd simply die of boredom before facing a courtroom on those charges.
Edit: my god I've just looked it up and its 90 miles each way. Get a lorry you cheapskates.

Could be 60k that Valtra if you combine that with red diesel and it’s probably a farmers son on £2 a hour why would you use a lorry

And what kind of helmet tells the police there on a 90 mile trip you’d just say you got straw from a field up the road

This can't be good for the industry, taking a tractor 90 miles for a job that is clearly haulage is ridiculous. It will be this sort of carry on that gets red diesel banned.

 

[melted welly]

Does that paper run similar stories when openreach have single lane working set up for a fortnight to do their 4 days work (no one working the weekends to get finished quicker of course)? Causing massive delays.

You should hear about the distance some lads do on wood chip jobs
