Skid marks as truck loses a load of waste near Toowoomba - Polidicks

[quote]There was a bad case of the runs near Toowoomba on Wednesday morning when a truck carrying 27 tonnes of human waste lost its load after the driver was allegedly forced to brake to avoid a collision.[/quote] [url]http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/skid-marks-as-truck-loses-a-load-of-waste-near-toowoomba-20161123-gsw3ef.html[/url] Shit happens, pictures in the article.

Luckily its processed so its not septic but still that sucks. People need to be more aware around large vehicles and not be complete jackasses, you don't own the road in your little civic.

To be fair they're both in the wrong, an open bed truck with a tarp on it does not a secure load make.

[QUOTE=Crimor;51436885]To be fair they're both in the wrong, an open bed truck with a tarp on it does not a secure load make.[/QUOTE] True this stuff should be in a bulk tanker trailer or a side/bottom dump trailer which tend to have doors at the top of them which can be locked down. From the looks they were just using a normal dump trailer which is completely open at the top.

not gonna make much a difference to the scent of the area, it always smells like shit around gatton on the warrego

Bloody idiot whoever pulled in front of him. I've been in a truck with my dad once (a turf truck with 10 or so pallets of turf stacked on the deck) slowing down to a set of lights just fine with a few spaces worth ahead of us to be safe, and this little car just HAD to be one space ahead so he pulled right in front of us and stopped. Needless to say, with only a split second to react and basically braking at max, that little car quickly turned into a pancake between us and the next car along. The driver walked away by some miracle, but still... we destroyed two pallets of turf, messing up the job we were going to and had to waste 2 hours waiting for police and such to arrive to deal with the mess. Truck was fine thankfully but what a damn mess. Funny thing is, even when I was learning to drive, never once did anyone ever mention etiquette for merging with trucks... seems like a gaping safety issue.

being that I've driven everything from kei cars to big rigs I feel that it should be common sense that heavier vehicles stop slower but I guess you've never driven another vehicle then that's not something that occurs to you.

I still regret using this name

Clever title

What a load of shit
