Tractor driver seen crushing car on CCTV sentenced

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

---

A court hears the teenager "lost control" and veered across a road by an airbase, hitting a car.

 

How the hell was that possible? The car driver escaping without serous injury I mean. A very lucky person indeed.

 

 

What exactly is the "legal limit" for cocaine, ZERO I can only imagine.

[sime42]

You'd imagine. But apparently not, the limit is 10 (mcg/L blood). No idea what that equates to in terms of lines or size of night out.

The thing is most tractor drivers carting maize into an AD plant work long hours, and there's no way that tractor driver lost control, fell a sleep maybe, or on mobile phone. But let's hope it's a wakeup call to some.

I cart for a mates farm in harvest , when its loaded it is nudging 30 ton overall weight. I,ve never had any lessons driving heavy vehicles on roads. No other industry can employ basically kids to drive their hgv,s on the road, not tax them and and use red diesel.

Not much of a night out apparently, the advisory group of experts that gave recommendations for this law decided the typical line of coke contains between 35-100mg. There'll be more than the legal limit for driving left as residue on the fifty note in your wallet when leaving the pub toilets!

Yep. Playing on the mobile would be my guess.
