…except the grey one
A few mill worth of damage there. I hope the driver’s alright.
Well, boss, you will need to buy some new wing mirrors.
This wasn’t the only serious lorry crash in the the area. Somebody stuffed a fuel tanker up the back of a flat at Thurrock and caused chaos on the M25 and A13. The Car Transporter shut the A20 at Brands Hatch. Someone put a load of recycling on its side on the M2 J5 Eastbound slip road closing it and someone else lay an artic on its side after hitting a car on the M20 near J4 closing the motorway in both directions .
accoring to daily mail this morning the driver swerved to avoid a group of cyclists and got caught in a crosswind.
cars belonged to a collector were being moved to or from brands hatch .and fella who owns them seemed not to care hes just glad the driver was alright and praised him for his swift actions avoiding the cyclists.
police investiagted an no action is being taken.
Next stop… Matt Armstrong !

Looks like a set of cars used for driving day / track day experience.

I thought that, two of the people in the video had branding on their tops but didn’t regognise the logo. If so might mess up their cashflow for a while.

The link doesn’t work for me. Can you state what it is so I can search?
Edit: I guess it’s this?
BBC News - Farningham: Transporter carrying luxury sports cars overturns

Bloody lunatics in their fast cars. Can’t even control 'emselves on the back of a lorry.
Wow.
I find it scary that so many tools are happy to walk around a serious accident site filming with their phones. No concern for the large amounts of petrol/oils/fluids leaking from the cars & truck that could easily ignite, or for the welfare of the driver of the truck, who’s just had the worst experience of his life, quite possibly through no fault of their own. Nice.
This is conjecture on my part but I suspect the fact that transporters tend to such a high-stress job you are more likely to make mistakes.
Always got to rush and office constantly on your case as they seem to think it only takes 30 seconds to unload a vehicle from your truck. I’ve spoken to a few people who have been on transporters and no one has spoken fondly of it.
Edit:
Also the pay structure at these places also encourages rushing about. Which I think is moronic.
