The driver is an absolute moron and deserves to have their licence removed, I would be inclined to report them, as the driver's actions would have directly put my life at risk if I was in the car following. Why should I be put at more risk whilst driving on a motorway because some idiot didn't want to pay for delivery!!! You see it as a minor infraction, I think the police would see it differently, maybe minor on a B road or even an A road but an M road You stick to your warped moral code of I'm not a grass, if it makes you feel better, but don't try to tell others to do the same.

You honestly think they didn’t get his number ? ...He is a moron and does deserve to loose his licence but my moral code doesn’t run to informing the police after the event ...I’m 68 drove hundreds of thousands of miles and , touch wood , pun intended, I’ve never been hit with a fence panel yet .. I’m happy with my moral code ..I’m not telling anyone what they should do , just what I wouldn’t do .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with my moral code ..I’m not telling anyone what they should do , just what I wouldn’t do .. They probably did get his number plate, so reporting it doesn't really matter then does it, so I don't see your problem with me suggesting that I would be inclined to report it. I'm glad in your 68 years of driving, you haven't been hit by a fence panel, but just because you haven't, doesn't mean others haven't! Telling someone to "get a life" is not just saying, I wouldn't do it, it's putting someone down for not complying with your warped 'moral code'. I use the word "warped", because somehow in your moral code, I come across as worse for suggesting it should be reported, than the person, who put other people's lives at risk, just to save on the delivery fee (last fence panel I had delivered cost £8 from memory) Edited June 3, 2020 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well I had an oncoming scrap lorry farting down the road with an unsecured load and the wind took a sheet of half inch plywood off it and if it wasn't for some rather spicy footwork and steering I would have had it through the windscreen.....luckily it only smacked into my bonnet and bumper, if it had another couple of feet it would have been catastrophic for me and my father in law. Them ones with the fence panel need reporting and a good kick up the devil's runway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Not being pulled in to the report or not report. but the touran does have bars with holes for strap to go through if fitted. To me even two straps One Front and back it i would struggle clarify as safely loaded as nothing along the length of load as this would require cross bars can’t see them the fact is that he is travelling on a motorway if it become free and hit some on a bike or someone to swerve and cause an accident .. I believe minimum of 3 fixings working on a principle that the load remains safe if one fails. me personally seeing that on the motorway would have had the hammer down and be in front of the numpties.

johnnythefox70 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 it was a stupid thing to do, but as the original poster i will leave it for someone else to report it (im not saying its right or wrong to bring to the attension of syp). i was brought up in a tough mining village so its not really in my nature to have any dealings with the Po-po if i can help it, (other than renew my gun licence!).
