ballaughbiker Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Did the car driver fail to say "hello" to the fairies? Excellent I was told when I was young that the steering wheel would come off in your hands if you didn't say hello to the fairies. Must be true then....

House Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Seems a waste of time to carry a trailer around on the back of a trailer anyway. It's like putting on two pairs of shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, why charge for just floor space used when you can charge ppl for the air above it as well and get away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 hope you said good morning You bloody well believe I did... Don't think the trailer really hit the cab tbh - I'm sure I saw the whole rig pull into the industrial estate later, so he must have gotten away with it. The car looked a bit damaged, though..

Pat Ayres Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Due to the fact the trailer has touched the unit it would render it impossible to turn the corner in the normal manner. The piggy back trailer would need shifting rearwards to allow the articulation of the unit. The straps were not exerting enough restraint to be on the road really, it must be able to hold 100% of the load in that position. Lack of a strap in this instance is an offense of 'loose or unsafe load' Yes the Steamie got wise about piggy backs some time ago, robbing bastards/capitalists.
