unbelievable stupidity of truck driver...

http://smh.drive.com.au/roads-and-tr...114-2xhr3.html

Dead set! What a moron that's thrown Sydney's traffic into chaos. To not know the tilt trailer isn't down properly & drive into a tunnel is the height of negligent. Words fail me for this... I have an uncle who is atruck driver - been one for 30 years. Put two kids through Uni this way, so I am in no way being disparaging to truck drivers. But an idiot is an idiot.

Hi,

The RTA spokesman said that he had been informed that it should be impossible to raise the tip tray when in any forward gear.

Cheers

So is that what happened.
As "LUCK" would have it, today I was driving my 82 year old mother to visit her critically ill cousin, who was not expected to last the next 24 hours.

Wyong to St George Public Hospital.
The trip both ways was 6 hours (in total) of hell.

Thanks Mate!
