Default Chaos

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-38575843

Stupid doesn't even come close to describing this lorry driver's actions. Absolute chaos for a whole day.

Charged with dangerous driving. Should get a long ban ....

Now saying the bridge will not reopen until 06:00 tomorrow, that's a 28 hour closure. Wonder if the company's insurance is liable for the financial consequences of that

Why anyone would take an unladen curtainsider over a bridge when its blowing a gale is totally beyond me, that he was so stupid as to ignore the signage then he deserves whatever is coming.
Driving one loaded with 27 tonnes of cans on today was scary at times.

It's frightening how much chaos is caused by one person's actions

Sadly this is how "at capacity" our road network now is, due to nearly 70 million people using a system designed for 50.
