Ooooooops.

Can’t tell if it’s a high cube or not but a high cube on a skel is 14 6…wpuldnt have expected that much carnage from a 3 inch overheight box.

Must have been going at some speed to do that.

They’re not skellys tho, they’re on de-mountable bodies riding on off road tyres

Army lads are far too cocky, I guess it’s a cover up for something lacking, can we blame an agency driver for this one?:slight_smile:

Passed these yesterday on the M5 south around Brdigewater on my way to Plymouth. There was about 6 of them so unless that one is the first one to go under that bridge the others must be stuck behind it or they were going to different places?

If its anything like a driver I knew in germany who had abridge strike. Whe the police turned up they asked what happened.well its like this officer the soldier replied.i saw one truck go under and saw some bricks fall so being concerend for the train that may be approaching I put the truck under the bridge to hold it up. He got away with it and was recommended for a commendtion for bravery and quick thinking.

looks like the trailer cleared so odds on he measured the back box ■■

As Captain Mainwaring would say “You stupid boy”… :grimacing:

Don’t tell em Pike! :smiley:

lmao

WTF was he doing there are warnings and a diversion and i stillthink electroic height warnings there , and the new A30 to bypass the bridge was opened a few years ago so there really was no excuse for this one .

I can’t work out what’s going on with that drops.
Never seen a container on a trailer getting pulled with a drops.
Usually roll/drop the flat bed of the drops. Then can be used as container carrier as it has the locking device for containers on them.
■■■■ knows what they’re up to.

Have been reliably informed that route plan was ignored and private tom tom was navigating.

Same thing happened when serving in Bosnia, no height markers over there, took it clean off the back. It’s a king trailer he’s pulling, been around for years, dodgy in the bends. Hope he was ok cos Drops are all left hookers…
