Clio pushed by truck thread

[Waitey]

Lift axle up doesn't always mean empty trailer..

He should have seen it coming up in his mirrors but he looks like a dozy c*nt who doesn't use them.

From him being in the middle lane, I assume that the car driver has done the same as every other car driver in the world does when they join a motorway with 2 overtaking trucks in the middle lane and undertook a truck then tried to cut through a small car sized gap to get to the outside lane.

Either the cars misjudged it and just tapped the front of the truck or the truck driver sped up and just tapped the back of the car. I'd imagine the truck driver would have noticed it but in that position it wont be in any of his mirrors, so either he was pissed off and felt like pushing the car along for a bit for undertaking him or he is absolutely oblivious to the world outside of his cab..

But both his tag axle and lead trailer axle are up? So it must be fairly light.

limited = they cant drive over 56mph because the limiter stops it

ABS fuse 14 in Scanias.
ABS fuse 22 in Renaults
Put a switch in the green wire on the left of the ECU in Volvos
Switch in the false live to the ECU in ERF's.

I could go on lol

 

[Cooksport]

A EuroCargo isn't a HGV. Its a toy for moving small parts around to build proper HGV's.

Not a HGV

A HGV

Not if its a digi tacho

Theres a few different ways to get around it still.

Also the lift axle is only as good as the driver but yeah in general it means the truck is supposedly running light or empty

 

[Icarus83]

Its on BBC news too!!!

"Lorry shunt motorway footage sparks probe":

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/8574609.stm

 

[Nafoff]

[Andyman]

Look out for it being on the news (tv)

The Arclid Transport lorry was travelling in the fast lane when it was spotted.

um, it was in the middle lane. Also, there isn't a fast lane... Theres an inside lane and 2 overtaking lanes. Bah no wonder people dont have a clue on motorways

The lift axles, I guess it depends on how you are used to running. I normally have the lift axle up, and only put it down if I'm 36t or over. It saves on tyres/brakes and makes the trailers much easier to manouvre with the axle up

 

[Andyman]

Sure its 32 tonne on 4, 38 on 5 and 44 on 6

They are even easier! One of our Scania's had somethng wrong with the coding for it. It was doing 78mph on the rollers and the digi was reading 56.6!

 

[Ash87]

crazy footage

Not when it shuts the tacho off its not

 

[Brett]

Lol at the Clio driver braking. I don't think that works whilst going sideways lmao.

 

[philmots]

f**k riding the limiters... It's rare i go over 47mph on the motorway.

 

[Jungle_Jim]

so which cliosport member works for yahoo lol as its now on there lol

 

[Kris86]

also in the sun paper today

 

[Scrooge]

The fact people even take the limiters off is ridiculous

 

[yellowbelly]

Times online

 

[Joeh]

theres no way that driver didnt notice the car, my dads a hgv driver and just spoke to him he said its impossible for that to happen without noticing, people assume because the truck is so big you wouldnt feel it yet in realitiy you still feel minor bumps in the road while driving one

 

[Andyman]

Why ?

 

[Mr Burns]

197 Drivers are going to be trying this in an attempt to improve MPG.

 

[kevin.s]

thats crazy lol

 

[Hugo-]

Still puzzles me as to why people thought it a good idea to film rather than try and alert the lorry driver as to what is happening.

lmao!
I read this in the sun to, very weird thing to happen

 

[Derelict-UK]

Lol at the Clio driver braking. I don't think that works whilst going sideways lmao.

So what are you meant to do? Sit back and relax? I would be standing on the brakes lol.

It was probably at the safest place, if the car went forward or back, it may have spun round under the lorry or even spun and flipped.

It seems from the bbc website that there was no injuries.

 

[MK3]

I thought this! Glad he video'd it though..

Personally I'd have it in reverse and my foot nailed to the throttle - coming off and into an armco is survivable - thats what cars are designed for these day. If the tyres burst and the car flipped - you'd be dead

 

[Scrooge]

Why ?

Do I really need to explain?

 

[Mr Burns]

I'dve popped my head out the sunroof and gave him a wave...

 

[Andyman]

Yes explain.

With respect, you're dads talking b****cks.

I'm a HGV driver, have been for nearly 6 years, IF that trailer was fully loaded ie 44 tonne's there's a good chance he wouldn't have felt it.

Driver probably had the radio on too which means he wouldnt've heard it either!
