David Sparkes Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Did you see the other link on the same page? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1222759/Why-I-forgive-fiance-driving-children-death-Land-Rover-River-tragedy.html Although it's uncomfortable reading, I think the article helps build a more comprehensive picture of the circumstances.

FridgeFreezer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 That's terrible, you'd never catch me doing that... Excuse: No I wasn't following GPS and yes the place I was going to was along the track, but FWD transits don't do wet clay on chalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Unfortunately, it's probably Nerked Pinched from a GLASS posting (by someone else). Notice how the informed local comment puts a different perspective on the situation. ............................... The Asda van isn't the first to follow the SatNav down here but actually this isn't really a footpath, it is an old road (Hardsough Lane) shown on the Definitive Map as a footpath but is almost certainly a carriageway that has been NERC'd (lost its motor vehicle rights under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006). It would be easily driveable in a 4x4 It shows how silly the anit-4x4 legislation is - how would an ordinary member of the public be expected to know that it was illegal - on the other hand it shows how silly some drivers can be - whatever its status he should have seen he couldn't get through a gap narrower than his van, especially on a washed out surface. Actually the recovery truck did more damage to the lane than the Asda van did. ................................. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
