I wonder if he really knows the height of his load, going under the motorway bridges I wouldn't like to lay on top of that top pallet :?

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

So, you didn't drive past the other pallet that used to be on top, then? :wink:  :lol:

nice to know one of our members is a careful driver on motorways ensuring at least one hand on the wheel whilst the other is holding a camera  :wink:

The law states, you should a market plate in the cab, telling you the height of your load.
I saw 2 artics get on at j27 m5 a few years ago, loaded with straw, those nice big square bales 2-300 kg each. When the first lorry got to the bridge at cullompton, it removed the top layer completely, the second lorry stopped in time. eIts amazing what some people will do to save that extra load, or those few extra seconds doing the job properly.  :oops:
