Isn't that a 7.5T lorry. 

Looks like a fuso canter which can take that and has a bit to spare

Durham Constabulary:

 

It may sound obvious, but if your trailer looks like this, you shouldn’t be driving it.

On Saturday, we received several calls reporting that a trailer had collided with a parked car in the Blackhall area causing damage to the vehicle.

On arrival, officers from Durham Roads & Armed Policing were greeted with this – a trailer that was massively overladen with rusted, scrap metal.

The metal was not securely fastened in the trailer and there was no metal cage surrounding the load to stop it from falling off the trailer.

It not only caused damage to multiple vehicles that it had passed on its journey; the driver had no licence, no insurance, and failed a roadside drug wipe.

A 46-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident and taken to police custody.

He has since been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.

❌ The vehicle was also seized by officers under Op Takeaway.

The brazenness of this amazes me.

 

A 50 year old biker was killed last week locally by a white van, similarly uninsured and unlicensed driver.

Wouldn't fancy "Howdy Doody" the bull riding shotgun in my motor I'm afraid. Seemingly the cops in Nebraska just told the guy to take it home!

Not really overloaded though, weighs about the same as many Americans!

 

 

I know, it's a cheap shot.

May have overcooked it today on a seriously compromised cherry takedown, but I had to get back for kids football.

Bet that was the 'back roads' route...flip!
