mate drives an artic lowloader and was in some back arse place in Tipperary collecting a machine. Got directions to where he was to go and he was directed up a small windy road that he said was just wide enough for the truck. As he rounded a corner he met a funeral procession coming against him. :D, he said he backed up a bit to where there was a bit of a bank and drove the truck and trailer as far in of the road as possible. he said the hearse scraped by along with all the cars, with everyone staring him out of it. He had to be towed back down of the bank when funeral eventually pasted. I could stop laughing when he rang me with the story

I was at a funeral of a young lad that died as a result of a car accident. The graveyard is a few miles from the church and on a narrow road. Cars were parked on one side of the road and there was enough room for a car to pass them but a truck came along just after the hearse got to the graveyard. The driver switched off his engine, got out of the lorry and stood beside it. After a bit a van pulled up behind the lorry and after a few minutes waiting he started blowing the horn :mad:
A few of the locals went to him and had a chat with him :rolleyes: He was not from the area or even the province. He was lucky to get away with a telling off. Some people have little or no respect.

My dad told me a story of a farmer that had either the loader to high/ or the load to high going under one of them old train bridges, he hit the bridge causing damage to track, the next train came and people where killed.
He said the farmer never forgave himself for what had happened. And was never the same after it

Happened in Longford l think where a truck hit a railway bridge. Driver rang it in. Engineer came out and said everything ok. Had gone to wrong bridge. Train came and crashed. Luckily only freight train. Driver was ok. Now every bridge has a plaque with it's own unique number and you quote that number if you crash into it.

I think there is automatic penalty points if ya hit a bridge too so some lads might not report it because of that
