Ooooooooooouch

They did catch him filling up in the suburbs, charged with dangerous driving and other traffic offences. The truck has been impounded for 28 days.

Or could have been a brake failure......road signs had blown over or not set up properly..........poor bugger might have had a heart attack.........may have happened at night and the photos taken the next day????????
Dont let the truth get in the way of a good beat up. LOL

Hi Hairy

It was no brake failure, he was just an absolute "Cowboy" It was in broad daylight and the speed signs are posted very well along there. If he could not read them, apart from being a "Cowboy", he must have been blind as well.

Last night on the news, the SA Police were dealing with authorities in Victoria to track down the driver. It appears from Cuffs reply above they found him.

I was only speaking to some local truck drivers about it at work today and they said it was people like him that give the Industry a very bad name.

When there are trucks with brake failure on the Southern Express Free way, they end in always a very bad situation at the Old Toll Gate. The last time it happened there were fatalities.

G'day Stephen was up in Clare delivering Plaster board from Melbourne on Tuesday mate to the Hardware warehouse would of been good to catch up cheer's Pete

Hi Pete

You will have to send me an email, I can not find your private email. Sounds like you have changed camps???

That sounds like you delivered it to the new Sanders outlet, if so that used to be the old bottling shed from Leasingham Wines days.

We are heading up to the Riverland on Saturday for 10 days, taking in Easter. The Kayaks will be in overtime, as well as some of the great drives in the area.

Have a great Easter in the Flinders.



Cheers

Gday Stephen,
I was infering to the posted topic. Although it happened a long time ago, no one has bothered to find out what the real scenario was........just labeled him or her another cowboy?

Cheers

About 5 years now from memory, and I don't think the transport company itself is around any longer either.
But have been known to be wrong.

I agree. I can't believe the assumptions that have been made above. Driver could have been driving for 30 years and this might have been the first mistake he has made. No-one knows what factors are involved. Only evidence here is a photo. Harsh I think.

Agreed...

What's that ol' sayin'??
"Man who never made a mistake never made anything"............


:)

yep as said above nothing like a good beat up without the facts.
No one here knows, he could have been having a heart attack and gone thru but it sounds better if he was an absolute cowboy and a disgrace to the industry.

Hopefully his family dont stumble across this thread.

Yeap just the same as mentioning that a 4x4 had run over someone....... sounds better the a car had run over someone!

OR... (one) "truck caught speed 30 kilometres per hour over limit" ...... what about the hundreds of car a day that get caught speeding 30 kilometres per hour over the speed limit..... doesn't have the same impact.
