  1. i know who this is, i'm working this contract right now, i've done a dozen or so planes on that very road (but i wasn't there that day!!!)

     

    i see this video and i read your comments and agree with most of them. more could have been done to stop this situation arising, the site is not perfect and it illustrates the importance of good clear traffic management.

     

    its a re-pollard, the road is busy. the idea is to stop the traffic, strip the knuckle, clear up, allow cars to pass. the main error in this video is the lack of the stop go board, which we always have on site. you could argue for a few more cones but with the pavement to consider as well, the guideline minimum seems sensible in this scenario.

     

    the way the site is set up is suitable for the surroundings and the traffic was being managed (though unsuccessfully). the hi-vis my colleague is wearing i believe is suitable for a 30mph road, but i'd have to consult my red book in my truck to be sure.

     

    in my opinion we have a typical london commuter eager to get to where he's going regardless of his surroundings and a momentary lapse in an otherwise well trained and organised arb team.

  2. also i need to send a letter asking if they owe any tax (you can claim upto 6 years back for PAYE overpayments) my friend got a cheque for £700 that he really didn't expect!!

     

    beware it goes both ways, ie if it turns out you owe them you will have to cough up!
