Four wheel drive run over.
This is an incident that occured near my workplace.
I thought it might appeal to some of you that get a hard time from car drivers. Have a look here. http://hyperactive.oz.nf/Truck/Nissan.htm Marty |

Four wheel drive run over.
On Mon, 02 May 2005 at 11:24 GMT, Marty (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: This is an incident that occured near my workplace. I thought it might appeal to some of you that get a hard time from car drivers. Have a look here. http://hyperactive.oz.nf/Truck/Nissan.htm Fuggen hell. That's a big toy. Even I am drooling over that one. -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ We are no longer the knights who say "ni" We are the knights who say "icky icky (Comet) Ikeya-Zhang zoooboing!" --Lord Ender @ /. |

Hope the haulpac driver was OK... There've been a few goodies there over the years.The past one I saw was a Toyota, and the haulpac went right over the top. I don't think anyone was in it at the time, but it squashed it flat as a pancake. Cheers David M |

Me wonders where the flashing safety light has gotten to (not that that stops the same thing happening when people park on the roadway). I notice that those photographs are not on their official gallery http://www.griffincoal.com.au/Gallery.html |

The guy that ran the induction course told us that you never park on the drivers right hand side at the front. The trucks are left hand drive and the right front is a blind spot. When the supervisors went down to check out the site the next day where did they park? In the front right hand side! (Roll eyes..) Rule number two is you ALWAYS give way to these trucks at an intersection. Marty |

About once every two years someone rolls it over. It's a pretty big machine with an engine in the front to pull it and another in the rear that pushes. Looks like a huge bobtail goanna lying on it's back. Marty |

A fairly common accident in mines. A long time ago I spent a couple of years
working in various mines in the Pilbara, and saw quite a few cars squashed by dump trucks, and quite a few scrapers that were rolled by their cowboy operators. Nick "Marty" wrote in message ...

Rule number two is you ALWAYS give way to these trucks at an intersection. Marty I had a boss once that managed to loose two cars in 3 weeks. Both times he parked directly behind scrapers parked in a line (babies - only 621's). Both times the operator tried to back up and heard an unusual scraping noise (the car roof) so stopped. One BMW and one Fairlane (fair enough for the Fairlane. Best so far is a guy that poked the noise of a troop carrier onto a haul road (intersection is in a bit of a cutting). Had 4 guys in the back and three in the front. I was sitting behind them. Just pokes the noise out and thump a 190 tonner coming past at top speed (all of 40 mph). Haulpac didn't stop but it sheared the front off the troopie right at the firewall. Almost as neat as a metal shears. Ever had the chance to try either the haulpacs or scrapers out unloaded on watered haul roads? The ultimate butt clenching oversteer/four wheel drift fun available, unless caught by the safety officer. Cheers Brett |
