Thread: I think some one is going to get in trouble

Yup! saw it on morning TV here out of Brisbane. Oops!

dropped his glasses and accidental knocked button/lever.

i would of thought the truck would of disabled those controls if going faster then say 30km/h

Didn't the tray appear to be up before he entered the tunnel?

Looks intentional to me, no way you would not know the tipper was raising , not only could you not ingnore warning lights / buzzers but the change in dynamics of the truck would be instantly noticed, let alone the height warning gantry on entry to tunnel. And the fact that he kept ploughing on through after hitting, no brake application obvious.

Yes up in vid, strange no other trucky was on the cb to tell him.

That's the problem with accidents in tunnels, you have no where to run, all that ceiling stuff falling onto oncoming traffic, it could have been disasterous Unlike Melbournes tunnels, the Sydney ones are narrower.

agreed, I'm not looking forward to the M5 in my truck, don't know if its just my vision but when travelling in the left lane there seems to be no demarkation between the left lane & the wall , they are the same color & appear to blend together, not many tyre marks running up the wall so it must be just me

Oh dear! (Probably very dear!)
