picture must have been taken before H&S had arrived.
Now i’ve only ever driven a tipper a few times but for that to happen i’m assuming the tipper was raised a fair bit as he was driving along but surely the wagon would handle differently with it raised like that which would alert the driver to something not being right. 
Or do i not know what i’m on about. 
An ally body on an 8 wheeler going in a straight line maybe he would not notice or an inexperienced driver, the first rule of tippers is to make sure the body is down I haven’t driven a tipper for a few years now I still find myself looking in the mirror from time to time.

some years ago one of our subbies took a tipper trailer with a hiab on into the blackwall tunnel with the hiab up in the air…he swore it must have gone up on its own??..as he had not long tipped which needed the hiab to be raised out of the way i think he was clutching at straws??
That’s the body. Where is the truck?
I am sorry but I just can’t see how you can drive along with the body up, he can’t of used his mirrors much up to that point
Thats nothing.
Does any one remember the one that hit the footbridge in Istanbul in 2010

It was parked 100 yards down the road, the driver was talking to a copper when I went past lol. He must have come from the concrete plant just around the corner. He would have been on a roundabout and done a sharp left turn before joining the A406 which does make you wonder how he didn’t notice the body was raised.
Mirror Mirror on the truck
Driven along by some dum zb
He is not having a lot of luck
The Boss is ■■■■
The Driver ■■■■■
I would imagine looking in the mirrors and just seeing the wheels and a lot of “fresh air” where his body once sat would ring alarm bells…obviously not!.

Oh dear looks a fairly new body too.
would love to see the insurance assessors face ,cos i bet there will be a brand new footbridge go there

How didn’t he tip the truck over on the roundabout or the first corner?
maybe the pto hadn’t disengaged properly with some tipper controls you can lock them in the up position come of round about hit sunken manhole pto re-engages.■■?
