DEP Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 A couple of months ago, I had a delivery to a local kennels, delivery went fine, the problem came when i left, I needed to turn left when i left the delivery, Its quite tight but i had manged it before I swung out wide, but obviously not wide enough As you can see from the above pics, the rear bar was caught on the kerb and the n/s wheel was stuck in a hole. I blocked the road for four hours And upset lots of people as the particular road was a used for the school run

caprinerd Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 its so nice toknow i aint the only one thats done that caused mayhem in watford once same sort of thing didnt swing wide enough parcel force were to amused about it
Fishtailparka Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 I watched a lorry like that once that was struggling to get over a very steep humpback bridge. He decided to take a run at it and got far enough up to get the back bar on the road enough to lift his rear wheels enough to stop them having any grip. He was proper stuck My personal best was to have the propshaft fall off my lorry on the Old Kent Road in rush hour on a Friday. I was popular.
