You’ve recited that word for word! Have you heard it a few times yourself 😂

 

I've either had a terribly misspent youth or I used to be a traffic officer...

Strange how a misspent youth can make one wise to police procedures🤔

Haha, I noticed you recognised the wording, almost like you'd heard it all before!

we had some root balls delivered recently, christ those things are heavy, there was a triple axle trailer full, the tyres where squished to about 3".

some of them weighed about 700/ 800kg each!!! our little digger wouldnt touch them.

Overlongded 😅😅 

No, it wasn't on the road, and no, I didn't have to reverse anywhere😅😅

Worked a treat though, better than trying to shuffle 1500kgs of chipper along a 200 yard job👍👍

25 years back, Tony Turner,  the Chairman of GreenMech drove his Range Rover to Barcelona towing a trailer with an 8" chipper on it and towing another behind it too! He got stopped on the M40, the Police walked around this train, then asked "is this really legal?". Tony replied, "if it isn't,  I'd not do it!". They let hi  on his way.....

 

Yes, reversing was an issue though.

Brilliant 😅😅 

Shame it's not legal, would solve a lot of logistics issues, cut down on trips, cut down on overloaded 3.5 tippers, probably even save some polar bears😅😅😅

Read the traffic signs. 

It's in Southern Ireland and no-one gives it a second glance

Around Galway by the looks of it, them boys out west are wild altogether… 😂😂
