Well firstly how many vans do you see that dont need a jockey wheel to keep the front off the ground.
Its plainly obvious that it appears to be rear heavy otherwise as was said in the enquiry it would not sit level as it does empty.
Even a backyard trailer does not do that.
Maybe he did load it to give it a ballweight but maybe he didnt.
Maybe he didnt have a WDH either as that would have helped steady it.
Probably thought he didnt need it due to the bad weight distribution.
As
well as all that the cops didnt weigh it didnt
check the loading couldnt remember where the jockey wheel was.
If it was still on the A frame he needed his head read. Fastest way to bottom out and head off road unintentionally.
Appears to be a disaster waiting to happen which it ultimately did.
