Estate Agent signs

[freewheelwilly]

Last nights commute home was probably one of the most dangerous ones i've had. I was coming down the Holloway Road from Archway a good 20 yards behind a open back truck carrying a load of Estate Agent 'for sale' boards on the back. All of a sudden the boards (with the posts on) had somehow lifted off of the back of the truck and were flying through the air like kites. In what seemed like an eternity and a scene out of the Matrix i was now confronting a shower of 4''x4'' timber and boards raining down on me - weaving in and out and ducking and diving. Amazingly neither myself or any one else on the road was struck by these signs. In reality it all happened in a split second and i was just fortunate not to have been hit as i slammed to a halt and winced as stuff fell from the sky

Holy crap, I hope you reported it as someone could have been seriously injured or worse.

 

[diddle]

scary stuff

 

[ianrauk]

yup, report it the the agents.

 

[Dronespace]

Definitely report it, could have potentially been lethal.

Hope you got the estate agent's name, truck company and number plate?

 

[freewheelwilly]

Yes, well i had a word with the driver at the time and then called the well known (rip off) agent and gave him a blast of my ire.

Think its upto £1000 and 6 points, driving with an unsecure load?

I would have called the 5-0 myself.

Yeah, Roadsafe them, the agents will be going "Meh" and not giving a sh1t.

It is probably a contractor. The agent is unlikely to prep and put up its own signs. The contractor should be insured though.
