    I wasn’t blaming you. Or at least, not just you (as my mum would have said, ‘I don’t care who started it – you all carried it on’). Yours just happened to be the last comment in the thread when I caught up to it.

    I was just rolling my eyes in despair at the whole lot of it.

    Oh dear god. As I said, I’m all for discussions evolving in new and interesting directions. But reviving fruitless ‘debates’ that had more than run their course long before the old thread finished is another matter.

    Given where some of the comments have gone on this post, I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be better to give it a couple more beers and send it for a lie down again.

    There’s a scrape mark along

    There’s a scrape mark along the wheel at the height of the end of the lift guide, so it looks to me like the plastic flexed back as it scraped past, then sprung out again, leaving it embedded in the tyre.

    Surely the lorry driver is blameless though as the stickers show the parked car suddenly turned up in it’s blind spot so didn’t heed the warning.

    It does seem as though there’s one (most) essential problem missing from that list – the driver’s over-inflated estimation of their own ability to navigate tight spaces, and refusal to seek assistance in doing so.

    Still, at least we’re maintaining rigorous standards of training for goods vehicle licences which should ensure that incidents like this are vanishingly rare.

    Oh…

    This just sounds like an excuse for squirrel exploitation to me.

    Exactly how many hazelnuts were they demanding for its use anyway?

    Pretty sure there’s no reason involved in that claim at all.

    Yes – it would be more

    Yes – it would be more interesting to see the other end of the scale – where are the most dishonest drivers. They’re probably the most dangerous – overconfidence breeding complacency and all that.
