Question for Amadeus - How come you're always at the scene of RTC's and the likes with your camera?! You can put money on any photos on manx radio or IOM online have your name underneith!

I could tell you, but then I would have to..you know

And he knows how to make it look like an accident...

Speaking to the fireman, he told me that the trailer weight with the digger on was to heavy for the truck pulling it to handle, some thing about the trailer can't be havier or something that the truck pulling it?

surely thats rubbish? i have a car trailer that can be upto 3.5 ton (braked trailer) and my landrover will only be 2 ton or there abouts... and is allowed to tow up to 3.5 ton as long as it is a braked trailer

[caulkie]

would of thought it would depend on wat engine lorry had, looking at photos, its a ridged tipper lorry, if the back was filled up to its weight limit?

[dodgy__tam]

yeah, thinkin on its not illegal to have a heavier trailer as its perfectly legal to tow a low loader with a tarmac laying machine n a roller on up to 38t GVW on the IOMs roads

Sadly, the old turn-FM-radio-into-scanner trick doesn't work anymore. All I can say is, it's a fine art to be there when something happens
