PaulAshman Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 That os so fooking ridiculous, never seen anyth8ng like it. Good on you Mike getting onto them and trying to get it sorted.

Toby Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 tell them they will have to collect you from the main gate as you have'nt got a 4x4 Good thinking boss! Tell 'em you haven't got any legs too!
bortaf Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Is the road that are actually in private? no chance of doing anything except pump the tyre up to 50 PSI how the hell did somone get stuck on them? grounded out or just couldn't drive
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 can you get up onto the grass and past or is there a fence in the way if no fence get the wheels scratting on the grass
shaun1.6ghia Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 1.can of petrol an a lighter. 2.crobar an hammer. 3.park a van infront of the road when they wanna go in/out and say its stuck.. even better jus let the tyres down on a old transit an leave it there.. what idiots..
Stu_B Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Well the general opinion in my office (local safety schemes & highway design for district council) is that they are dangerous, both for vehicles entering & exiting the junction - particuarly motorcyclists! If the land is highway then they shouldn't be there, and if the land is private then you & your co-workers have a case for removal. It's mainly the 2 nearest the road that cause a hazard I should imagine & are definatley OTT!!
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 They contravene health and safety regulations in the workplace. Everyone is complaining about them. I have a video which I'll post up soon of cars leaving work. The car that got grounded was a corsa. I think the doris went over them too slowly and somehow one wheel was slipping and couldn't grip to climb over it.
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 Here's the video from this morning going into work. Listen for the scrape of the mudflaps.
Durham Fiesta Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 thats a bit OTT, surely one hump would have done
baz105e Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 why not try to get compo for the new mudflap lol

ZetecVan 2.0 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Posted June 6, 2008 thats just fooking stupid, nice choice of tunage btw mike It just happened to be on the radio at the time.
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Posted June 6, 2008 Well, a partial success today. They've removed the row nearest the road.... It's still 14m too close to the junction though.
awesome Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Hey Mike if your afraid to have a go at the firm post up the firms address and we will bombard them with emails telling them their a bunch of wonkers
escortmad79 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Here's the video from this morning going into work. Listen for the scrape of the mudflaps. It's like being in a dancing Lowrider!! Yo! That's fookin ridiculous!!
cisco24uk Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Two solutions come to mind 1, Stop, apply foot brake and 45 degree burnout untill you are straight with them. 2, Accelerate hitting them so fast that you clear them all. Hope this helps
