Lucky Trucker on Forth Road Bridge - 28 December 2011

[ForthRoadBridge]

The bridge was closed to high sided vehicles when this truck crossed - he drove past several signs

[hibbs79]

Lorry drivers are professionals so its not his fault. Its the wind and the bridge at fault :-)

[Question821]

Please Forth R.B. stuff, give us wind gust speed at the moment of overturning.........

[PIXAGOD]

OK  kto z Onetu :)

[Jezz84]

keep on trucking :D

[35006PandO]

Wouldn't like to have seen his underpants!

[stejd]

Saves on tyre wear



[Question821]

Question for the bridge traffic officer: Do you know what was the wind gust speed at the moment. As i know the bridge was closed at 22m/sec for this truck&trailer

[nirrvar]

[ForthRoadBridge]

[joblafors]

Whas the guy filming this jerking off?

[shobin05]

@joblafors the lorry flipped because of strong wind, how steady do you expect him to hold his camera when he is standing at the top of a fucking tower in THAT weather?

[diflipid]

...I had a truck like that,then I took an arrow to the knee....

[diflipid]

@TheBenderillo .....lighten up hombre,don't take it to heart.And while you're doing that,learn to spell....

[videopow3r]

Like a boss!

[juvmol]

indeed very lucky!

[2011gmh]

Lucky Bastard., I bet aftere all that he went and had a couple beers.

[gummbummper]

he was german

didnt understand the signs

surely if he is driving here he should understand simple road signs

[Dombowerphoto]

@gummbummper dont think you need a road sign to tell you that 100mph winds is not good for high sided vehicles

[gummbummper]

The other drivers must all be ruddy idiots too!! How close do you have to be to the car in front to see what the hold up is!?? jeeeeeeeezzzz!!!

[DurhamTelly]

I bet he had eggs in that trailer..

[tacospartan]

ROFL what a disaster that would be

[deckelpc]

just before the tards come back and call me an idiot, yes i have seen the comment said he "ignored" signs. I'll go spank myself now will i

[15polarstar]

@deckelpc :-)

[deckelpc]

lmao at the comments about cars being blown OFF the forth road bridge. What a complete load of crap! I have lived here for nigh on 50 years and never seen nor heard of ONE being blown off the bridge. Regarding the lorry driver everyone is calling an idiot .... did he drive through a sign saying "bridge closed to high sided vehicles, or trailers not allowed"? If not then your the idiots

[15polarstar]

@deckelpc Aye that's true,the bridge is to wide for any truck to go over it would just rest on the barrier,still its a high sided vehicle so the dough ball shouldn't have crossed.

[TheDunc2468]

idiot on the road he should be banned.still wont stop others the bridge people need to position themself to stop high sided vehicles and they should be charged for not complying with the signs.

[Averagejoe644]

The wind from the side, on that bridge, in bad weather, is something else. Cars have been blown over the side, in the past. I know, cos i'm local. Driver prob never knew what it can be like on the bridge.

[wow85]

What a idiot, if someone would have been passing on his side they could have been killed from that truck falling over.

[wildebeast1976]

Crazy mothertrucker...

#thankyouverymuch

[MrPoobaw]

Always one isn't there ......

[HILLYBILLY2010]

what a wanker

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

At 0:40 that car in the oncoming lane swerved sharpish, he must have had the fright of his life!

[ro63rto]

Stupid eejut!

They should install auto descending barriers to limit tall vehicles.

[crichton2121]

The tool should get an instant ban.... Plus a huge fine. Before he takes an innocent life

[MorayPryde]

YPR

[TheSusan58]

I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE LORRY, WHAT A THRILL IT WAS, NOT

[owinthomas]

That would never had happened if there were still toll booths

[kerrayz]

What an eejit.

[WillOrng]

I thought German drivers are supposed to be better trained and skilled?

[dave3663]

And not one driver put on their Hazzard warning lights??? The Lorry Driver should be banned from driving on UK roads!

[HOMEnHIGH]

@dave3663 ...bollox..just steer into it, this shit happens all the time in the uk...ive been truckin for years...

[BobYork]

@dave3663 Yes, one driver does. The lorry driver.

[cricketer400no]

Kudos? Someone could have easily been killed. The guy should have been prosecuted.

[sashaisacoustic]

hard geezer

[neil9327]

Well he got it righted again and drove away at the end. Kudos to the driver!

[Whitburn08]

[djdomainP]

[15polarstar]
