from what i could see it was not the tractor drivers fault the car driver didn't think!why is the traffic so slow he just saw it as an opportunity to pass slow moving traffic it wasn't as if the tractor had just pulled out he was well across the road . we have a couple of right hand turns on fast roads and it doesn't seem to matter to some motorists what you do they still risk life and limb to gain one minute we have three beacons on our combine and its bright yellow but on ass still said he didn't see it

? my point
That happened a few years ago. It didn't end well for the driver.

Im suprised at how all the cars in front of the lorry didn’t even stop to make sure anyone was ok!!

I think at that point it was clear the drivers were OK as they were out of their vehicles thought best to get traffic moving.

Cripes hope that drivers ok, one thing I have noticed as this thread has gone on is the strength of the safety frame on these cabs, in days of old there would have been many fatalities looking at the state of some of the tractors but cabs have remained relatively intact. Look at the state of the lorry cab above compared to the tractor as an example.

Seen that one! Not sure what the right way would be but what made them think they could first pull it back on and then worst slewbaround
Some chains and tensioners pulling the right way and the boom extended fully out then re assess situation would if been better!!

What idiots, that was a nasty but perfectly saveable situation if they had got jacks and wooden blocks under that track they could have then manoeuvred it to get it squared up and they should have closed the road to start with, I was cringing at the bloke with the cones not even looking at the digger.Plumbers NZ | Meanwhile....

No surprise to me when every new car seen on tv can speed around corners some with hands free, with nothing else on the road, some people ask why others cars and lorry never stopped neither would i as this is what happens if you can't wait, there are to many tosser's who don't look or use indicator's i have no time for them.................

Lucky if they got out of that and bloody lucky not to take someone else out as they crossed the carriageway!
Guessing mechanical failure due to the lack of skid marks?

It’s not unheard of in a NH with key switch where it is for it to be knocked off with your knee!!! Worse still if you manage to break it off in the ignition!!!

A horrific thought if that could be the case!
That said 9 times out of 10 when I turn to reverse my RTV my knee knocks the ignition key and kills the engine
