Wreckers!!

[grainboy]

Can’t believe the flippant remarks, nice tyres, waste of feed, poor AD plant,
Christ sake, lucky no one was injured or worse killed,
All large trailer users, have got to get their act together,

 

[grainboy]

Oh there’s another one,
I’ll have it as a grain Trailer,
Wake up, grow up, man up,

[michael N123]

@grainboy I pointed out the good tyres because I didn't want to directly accuse speed as the problem, but if you look at the tyres there are few other options. It was a word to the wise, not a simple observation. It was obviously too oblique.

 

[grainboy]

That trailer did not flip 180 degrees loaded, without speed being relevant,

 

[Ley253]

And, speed may have nothing to do with this, how about overturned trailer avoiding another vehicle?

 

[grainboy]

So how do you flip a trailer at correct speed, evasive action or not,

Same problem with us over 3500 acres of straw has gone now as it is crops to feed a couple of A/D plants , Think the contractor chopping the rye has now rolled 4 or 5 trailers in the last few years another one yesterday, Can see them having a very hard form VOSA if they they keep the over sea's cowboys carting

what sea would that be

In all fairness I think it is coming time for regulation like the haulage industry to be brought in for 50k plus tractors and these big trailers and tankers. I see cubs in big 250 300 hp tractors pulling 5000 gallon tankers with not much more than a provisional licence. No hgv test 6 weekly inspections mot or flute all. It's ok untill some one is seriously injured or killed. Over here a water bowser hooked off a tractor and hit a bus and 15 I think people injured. I'd say the paper work trail for maintenance etc would be exceedingly light

 

[Mursal]

Yes and it looked like a "homemade" bowser, unfortunate .............

No ce plate and all that. Can't see how after that accident and the death in co down how the authorities won't start looking at speeds weights licences and maintenane after all of the above.

 

[kiwi pom]

Well I'm going to have a guess and say they don't have a load of Danes or Norwegians working for them

 

[CJ Hall]

Maybe they are Dutch ???

 

[Speedstar]

what sea would that be

Would be the one to the west of the UK , you may go & have a swim in it at times

 

[colhonk]

I thought there were already speed and weight restrictions on tractors on the road, like all the laws, nobody to enforce them.

[holwellcourtfarm]

yes you are right about that think that one is trailer number 5 in the last 3 years all on main roads

Radical idea: How about repeat offenders (say 3 serious incidents in 2 years) losing their AD subs for 5 years? Would that make them change their approach?

I should think the blame is shifted to ‘contractors’.
