We had a fatality on A30 last Sunday. Was a TM/Council oppp clearing a tree branch I think. Lorry jackknifed and one in hosp and one dead and driver arrested. No one winning.
Those working on roads deserve all they get paid plus double .

Was just thinking that tonight. Just come back down M6 from in-laws. Horrendous weather pitch black. Driving rain watching 3 lads setting the cones on a lane 1 closure. Miserable doesn't come close with idiots and inch or two away doing 70-80mph. No thanks

We’ve done a fair bit of work within traffic management over the years and I can’t remember a single job that hasn’t had at least one knobhead driver who could have caused injury/death if the lads hadn’t had their wits about them. I have a fairly even temper nowadays but always end up wanting to beat someone to a pulp when working roadside!

I seem to remember at one point(maybe still do) Tarmac would only work within a full road closure , they class a passing car as a near miss!

bit of a lack of self preservation on the victim's part as well though ... pretty nonchalant 'stroll' out into a very busy FLT populated yard

Guess it's like a sixth sense when you've grown up with em. Often have to heard folk away who just expect a machine to drive round em.
Nasty way to go though

So if fencer has got a signed contract that stated the client had checked for utilities he'd have been off the hook you think?
