Hefty fine £470k ouch
i got done 25 quid in 1976 for being 100% overloaded on a twin wheel transit that i used to dig and load and unload by hand digging house footings. i was young and fit but the 25 quid was a weeks wages lost but i did not get any endorsements back then it was not classed as a motoring offence but a civil one so i was told i honestly did not think it was that badly overloaded it did have a fair sized body and i didnt have that much idea how heavy sticky wet clay was, i never drove the pick up again after that once bitten and all that!

My transit legally carries about 1.2t. Loaded some type1 today from a mates yard with his 13t machine. Risked two and a bit buckets 🫣

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Last week,
traccy man strikes again ... :mad::mad:
" a tractor came by with a large trailer and a 14 tonne digger on the trailer .. ....
The trailer slid and took chunks out of the road, while the digger ended up on its side across my driveway, small front garden, front steps, and severely damaged my car. .....

"One minute later, my partner and I would have been positioned in the driveway in our van heading out to Wrexham, and we wouldn’t have stood a chance as we wouldn’t have seen this digger coming our way" "

looking at the pic of the bend before their place I'd bet he was trying for the 'cornering speed record' :mad:

Followed this one home today. Not a strap in site. Could see clear to the blade and over the tracks so pretty sure no digga lock. It's a local company so might call em tomorrow and let them know that an employee is taking short cuts. Probably the boss driving though. I took photo with cradle mounted phone whilst stopped in traffic. Probably breaking the law doing that as well....
