Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning -- > Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning I saw that truck last night. I could smell the petrol for around a KM before the site (I came in from the South). Why didnt they just ignite the fuel once at a safe distance instead of trying to clean it up. Ignition wouldve been faster and more effective eh? > I saw that truck last night. I could smell the petrol for around a KM before > the site (I came in from the South).

Can't have that, it might have been quick, entertaining, and cheaper for all concerned. -mark > Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning dickhead truck driver should never have been driving the thing Kev >> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning > > dickhead truck driver > should never have been driving the thing > > Kev MMM . seems a little hypercritical there sunshine . >>> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > MMM . seems a little hypercritical there sunshine . anyone who comes down that exit ramp in a truck at the speed he did is a dickhead he didn't even make it to the intersection at the bottom and the force at which it flopped onto it's side is what popped all the hatches and he's one very lucky boy, all that petrol flowing about and it didn't ignite he's a dickhead who should never have been driving a truck let alone a fuel tanker Kev >>>> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > anyone who comes down that exit ramp in a truck at the speed he did is a > dickhead you have proof or is it supposition and a wild guess ? > he didn't even make it to the intersection at the bottom yes the tellevision coverage showed that > and the force at which it flopped onto it's side is what popped all the > hatches > and he's one very lucky boy, all that petrol flowing about and it didn't > ignite Very > he's a dickhead who should never have been driving a truck let alone a > fuel tanker you deduced this how ? he passed a govco test he must be capable just like all those "P" plates driving about > Kev >>>>> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning >>>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > you have proof or is it supposition and a wild guess ? Ummmm he was going way to fast to take the bend and it fell over there were no other vehicles near him, there was no mechanical failure and he hit nothing else until he tipped the Guy had only been with Scotts for about 3 weeks, having previously worked for JACAT(formerly Millers), and after seeing the antics of some of those drivers I wouldn't be letting them drive fuel trucks and of course there is the number one reason why trucks roll over going to fast around the corner/bend I travelled up and down Cunninghams Gap 3-4 times a week for a couple of years and hardly a week went by when a truck didn't roll over at the helipads, I used to run down there empty and would get passed by loaded trucks(usually with brakes burning), the lean on these as the passed on the passing lanes(around curves) was scary and the usual result was a long wait while the road was cleared of bits of trucks and trailers >> he didn't even make it to the intersection at the bottom > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > he passed a govco test he must be capable just like all those "P" > plates driving about you forgot the :) Kev >> you have proof or is it supposition and a wild guess ? > > Ummmm > he was going way to fast to take the bend and it fell over I heard cornering speed might be a factor but there was a road surface proble , lets see who and how the charges are laid > there were no other vehicles near him, there was no mechanical failure > and he hit nothing else until he tipped I heard a wheel took a dig > the Guy had only been with Scotts for about 3 weeks, having previously > worked for JACAT(formerly Millers), and after seeing the antics of some > of those drivers I wouldn't be letting them drive fuel trucks bit to general for my taste , if he was a goose the first week would see him gone . > and of course there is the number one reason why trucks roll over > going to fast around the corner/bend [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > the passing lanes(around curves) was scary and the usual result was a > long wait while the road was cleared of bits of trucks and trailers considering the preasures some of these blokes are put under silly to try that hard when cost is considered . >>> he didn't even make it to the intersection at the bottom >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > you forgot the :) nah I didn't > Kev >>>>>> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > the passing lanes(around curves) was scary and the usual result was a long > wait while the road was cleared of bits of trucks and trailers sounds like the coalies on Mt Ousley (wollongong) , you can be jakeing your way down there, and be passed by everything..........and the air thick with the smell of brakes, but haveing said that, there are reletively few crashes, tho, a lot of them finish up on the saftey ramps, stuck fast in the kitty litter :^) (lots of little ones running under trailers tho) and unlike Cunninghams Gap there are no serious corners. >>> he didn't even make it to the intersection at the bottom >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Kev >>>>> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning >>>> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > he passed a govco test he must be capable just like all those "P" plates > driving about geez, are you noddy in disguise ?.........just another agitating, fucken know-all, one hand on the keyboard and the other on yer dick..................with absolutely nothing to contribute...............j >> Kev >>>> Hope that wasn't you on your side on the M1 this morning >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > he's a dickhead who should never have been driving a truck let alone a > fuel tanker Sounds like a bloke I work with, he told me he can take the exit off the Bolte Bridge on to the Westgate at 100kph, I think 80kph is too fast, our trucks are more or less identical but mine is about 2 yrs younger so I bet one day he's going to have a major crash. Our boss is very easy to get along with, another one of his drivers (works for a different customer to me) hit the Spencer St bridge and rolled the truck loaded with 22tonne of paper, the road was blocked for about 5 hrs and the tram and train lines were also closed, despite this he didn't get sacked.
