Newbie to this Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'd probably be inclined to send that to the police. That idiot is a danger to other road users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it is strapped on, the yellow line across the top they didn't do a very good job of it. Edited June 3, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I can see the strap too, they have just put the strap on looped all the way around the panel so tightening it just squashes the panel rather than presses it against the roof bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggum Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I had to collect some timber from the local wood yard last weekend and there was a people carrier with 8 sleepers chucked onto their roof bars with two small straps holding them on 🙄. I’d hate to think what would have happened if he needed to stop in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 When strapping my simple rule to follow is once fixed, if you try to move it the car should rock on its suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put other road users in danger, he is driving down a motorway with an unsecured load. If that unsecured load was caught by the wind (and it's a fence panel so highly likely) and ripped from their hands, they could have killed someone. Do you think they would have stopped? 100% idiotic behaviour like this needs reporting, this driver needs his licence taking away (if they even have one) for a very long time. All for the sake of saving the delivery fee, pathetic. Edited June 3, 2020 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 The photo reminded me of my transporting building bits in the mid 70's, but not to the same degree of seriousness. I needed two 9 ft concrete lintels for some work on the house. We had a Triumph Herald. So in two trips from the builders yard I lowered the passenger window and slid the lintel wrapped in an old sheet to rest on the back window ledge. I drove through the streets of Bristol with it protruding from the car and giving near side cars a wide bearth. It worked, but looking back it was a little foolish.

hodge911 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I'll see if I still have the picture on my old lap top ... a couple of years ago my nephew sold a full sized floor standing pub duke box (cd playing type) the guy who bought it came a couple of hundred miles to collect it . Now the funny / stupid bit he collected it in a vw polo he put it on the roof and held on by winding down the 4 windows and putting ratchet straps over an through the windows meaning the doors couldn't be opened & he had to squeeze in the window to get in (his mrs was going crazy because she couldn't get out).... it took 4 of us to lift it on and the suspension was well compressed ..... but he did put some polythene over it in case it rained on his way home ... Just to add there was no roof bars / rack just a blanket on the roof . AND BEFORE THE "WHY DID YOU HELP PUT IT ON THE ROOF " CREW START NIT PICKING my nephew got the guy to sign a disclaimer on the lines of he didn't agree with the way it was being transported and only helped once the buyer understood the blame for transporting in the way it was was 100% the buyer responsibility and it was loaded after he signed it Edited June 3, 2020 by hodge911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
