Absolute scenes on my road today as a lorry fucked up a turn and has got itself wedged across the road like that ship in the suez canal
@stavvers
wild cheering πŸ˜ΈπŸ‘   πŸ‘ πŸ’ƒ πŸŽ‰
@floppyplopper absolutely love when a big vehicle gets trapped by its own ungainliness
@stavvers
perhaps after it gets released it might like to get trapped under a low bridge πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆβ˜ΊοΈ
@floppyplopper btw please tell me you've seen the videos of the low bridge in the US which scalps lorries
@stavvers @floppyplopper I don't think I have but I've seen one about a lorry scalping bridge in Australia, possibly Melbourne
@stavvers @floppyplopper there's a local news clip where they're talking about the bridge with a reporter on the scene and a lorry gets scalped in real time in the background. Classic

@stavvers @floppyplopper
Sorry, it wasn't news, I remembered it wrong. It's a little documentary a guy made about it. Worth watching though, and includes this amazing quote from the roads minister:

You've really got to be a dickhead in ignoring every sign to hit a bridge

@stavvers
i love ALL the low bridges that scalp lorries
@stavvers @floppyplopper my favourite time for that bridge is when they added sensors to detect a high vehicle approaching and turn the lights red with a warning sign. Because so many drivers saw the lights begin to change and accelerated to get through πŸ˜†
@trantion @stavvers
i'd like to design a bridge that lowers itself when it detects prey
