It’s not what you would call stuck is it? It just can’t go any further without damaging the trailer or bridge.

 

It hasn’t bashed the bridge either has it?

 

Have a look at the curtain, still tight and tidy, look at the pelmet sheet, not twisted or distorted.

wasn't stuck fast but was wedged, as i drove away laughing he went forward a bit more, i was 3cars behind when he hit it, the whole back end shuddered and distorted for a second or two, i saw one years ago get through a bridge by hitting it fast and the back doors broke as they were the most rigid part:thumbup: i feel your pain with the chipper spout roseyweb as i once reversed into my garage with the drivers door open wide to see where i was going in my nova when i was 17:blushing: things went downhill from there:thumbdown:

He was probably following his sat-nav and as per usual wasnt using common sense. Its quite amusing seeing 44 ton arctics trying to get down lanes that are only wide enough for one car and are very twisty with high banks. We had a small local road closed for about 3 weeks because a french lorry driver was following his sat-nav and it was directing him up ever narrower country lanes till the lorry wedged itself on two banks and couldnt go forward or back. It was rather amusing as it was one of the thinnest roads in the area so no cranes could get down there to lift it out. The highways authority got an oxy-acetelyne cutter and cut the trailer in two so it could be puleld out by tractors. Wish i had got pics now.

i was sat eating chips in the local coop carpark friday night, the delivery wagon turned up and after 15 or so attempts at reversing round the simple 90degree off camber corner, each ending in wheelspin and loss of momentum (he was cutting the corner too tight) he decided to give it a run up, pulled forward across the road and shot backwards at high speed.. straight into the stone wall behind with a right old crash! at this point he got out for the first time to check he was lined up right, another 10 attempts and i could smell clutch.. the drivers mate just stayed sat in the passenger seat all the time, when they finally got it up to the loading bay the tail lift was not working (big time bent) was hilarious, didn't have camera with me, pity..:thumbup:
