bbko Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm guessing he ran into another truck carrying the post on the trailer, no mention if the post had a warning red towel or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavel Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I do wish reporting standards could be improved. Lampposts are inanimate object’s, they do nothing. However the hapless lorry driver did impale his own vehicle upon the concrete posts. And as sure eggs are eggs will wholeheartedly believe that it’s the concrete post’s fault. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's automatic. They see a post and have to drive into it. Doesn't matter if it's planted beside the road or still being transported. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver who was following did not fail to brake in time he had no chance to brake or may already have been braking the lamppost detached from the trailer and slid backwards. There probably was no need for a red warning flag because the lamppost was wholly on the trailer and not hanging over the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
