Matzzon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Of course it´s tragic, but also avoidable. It´s just to actually ban people from sitting outside on cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how then would the cheap labourers be transported to and from the work sites ? ( don't worry they are only dispensable Burmese or Cambodians ???? ) next you'll be wanting them to wear steel toe cap boots a hard hat,gloves,ear defenders,goggles,hi vis jackets,dust masks,welding masks and use power tools with actual plugs on not just bare wires stuck in a socket ???? 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger70 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The front left wheel of the truck had left the road, causing the truck to swerve and sending it rolling downhill, he said. That's a bit strange the wheel leaving the road, I thought that the Driver was suppose to Drive the Truck. To me it sounds like the Driver stuffed up. Not the Wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's some positive thinking. There is a law that bans people from riding in the back of pick-ups, but once again the police are too busy playing candy crush on their phones to worry about enforcing the law plus there's probably no money in it for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
