I think it's time to go back to tradesmen not having all these fancy vans, and just have your bog standard white transit with a few dents here and there, and the dash full of receipts and coffee cups. And cleaned maybe once a year. 😜
Sorry to hear of your bad luck but thanks for showing us what happened this should help a lot of people that have not thought about this problem they could have.
Low profile tyres which are way below the axle load rating for that van, didn't help neither. Shout out to the garage who fitted tyres with a 230kg per corner short fall
Non standard wheels are a complete pain in the you know what. So are low profile tyres, they wreck the ride and you wreck the wheels more easily....and for what ?
To be fair if you had been fully in your lane you would have been ok, however I had a similar thing happened to me but the road was covered with 6 inches of snow . RAC took over 6 hours to rescue my van.
If your front wheel smacked the island didnt your rear wheel hit it to? Im surprised it didnt blow the shockie along with the wheel. If it was my van Id be taking it to a garage with the Hunter tracking system (but not Kwikfit) to make sure everything is square.
Hmm 🤔 you were abit far over but I understand why, making sure nothing pops out from the pavement. Probably of done the same, definitely no chance of seeing that island. I didn’t notice it til you pointed it out. Atleast it was only the wheel and not bodywork and suspension damage aswell. Big wheels with low profile tyres are weak, I’ve found that out a few times with potholes 🤦🏻♂️
You could have repaired the old ones some companies do them mine was they same but they won't warranty the work though. Just a quick question would you performance test the fire on the back boiler some do? Would you? Some don't as they say will fail and dosent mention on mis.
Yes of course I would I would test the boiler and fire separately and the carry out spillage test with the appliances separately and then both together
@Tomkat Gas Training Thank you as my oldie friend gas engineer for 30 plus years does it but doesn't mention on the mis, so I thought he was over checking but yep. Guess I am wrong!
i wouldn’t say this one was your fault an unlit lump of concrete surrounded by Kerb at night is a danger to everyone imagine hitting that on a motorbike 😱🤘😎🤘
Because as you can see he was not in the wrong, but the sign that should tell a driver to get back onto their side of the road is absent.. therefore any assuming driver can feel free to drive along that road with the knowledge that the road is free of hazard, the persons held to account is the ones responsible for maintaining the roads. Same with pot holes, overhanging trees the list could be extended Obviously for every claim there will be some level of dispute but i do feel hes got this one in the bag.
I think the highway code is clear on what you should be doing however does not once say that you "must not" enter such area, just like you can use your mobile phone given the circumstances, Its also clear that there was not adequate signage to help direct the traffic How can the highway code be abided by if there was only 50% of a sign on show. Being in the gas industry myself we are a wash with legal definitions and the words should and should not is usually always followed by "as long as certain other criteria is met" which does not mean that you must not do it...
Lads, if you are carrying tools, no matter your vehicle, get breakdown cover. Don't want to leave your tools in the middle of nowhere. I have a few grands worth in an old focus. The car is junk but not the tools.
Really sorry for you but really all your fault. Not driving with due care and attention, your not suppose to be driving on the hatching missing sign or not. Then the silly wheels if you left the suppyed wheels on the wrench would fit. Not to mention the fact you have not the means legally to change the wheel. O dear points make prizes as the traffic cop says. Is that van insurance covering you for pleasure driving and not just busseness driving? Just have a look in the highway code book.
O dear your lecturing telling people right and wrong and telling people to read highway cod e when spelling supplying suppyed and buisness busseness 😂😂😂😂😂

Once a year ? ..steady on there, no need to go overboard ! 😂
Quite so mate but not white any colour but not white

Yes agree it's a work van.
To be fair if you had been fully in your lane you would have been ok, however I had a similar thing happened to me but the road was covered with 6 inches of snow . RAC took over 6 hours to rescue my van.
Mine took out both wheels not just the tyres 😂🤣😂🤣
Perhaps going to fast then.
Fancy alloys wrapped in budget rubber that are not designed to carry the weight. Your tyres should have a ‘C’ in with the size for commercial fitment.
Yes another one for the traffic cops. Points makes prizes.
If your front wheel smacked the island didnt your rear wheel hit it to? Im surprised it didnt blow the shockie along with the wheel. If it was my van Id be taking it to a garage with the Hunter tracking system (but not Kwikfit) to make sure everything is square.
I thought you would be beyond fancy wheels. 😆
Have you not seen my Bentley 🤣

Jeez mate..you were a tad too far over the road .but I'm with you on this...nice motor tho ☺️
Is this gunna be on the test?
Is this gunna be on the test?
Low profile tyres look cool but they ruin the ride.
Ridiculous putting these things in the middle of roads ........
Don't think you really get it.
i wouldn’t say this one was your fault an unlit lump of concrete surrounded by Kerb at night is a danger to everyone imagine hitting that on a motorbike 😱🤘😎🤘
You missed the point its on the hatching your not suppose to be driving on that.
@@g7mks383 Pulling out in good time to buy time in low light to pass a parked vehicle
You treat the hatching as if they are a brick wall they are not for driving on.
@@g7mks383 don’t be bloody daft most of the time yes but when passing a parked vehicle sometimes you have to because there isn’t enough room.
Glad we all don't think like you. The world would end up in anaochy.
Shout-out to Tom
How many subwoofers have you got in your RS van then😄🤪
Did you claim off the council for the damage?
Not yet
Why he was in the wrong should not have been driving on the hatching in the first place. Won't have a leg to stand on.
Because as you can see he was not in the wrong, but the sign that should tell a driver to get back onto their side of the road is absent.. therefore any assuming driver can feel free to drive along that road with the knowledge that the road is free of hazard, the persons held to account is the ones responsible for maintaining the roads.

Quite simple if you read the Highway code. You do not drive on road hatching.
I think the highway code is clear on what you should be doing however does not once say that you "must not" enter such area, just like you can use your mobile phone given the circumstances,
Its also clear that there was not adequate signage to help direct the traffic
How can the highway code be abided by if there was only 50% of a sign on show.

Feel for you woke up on the 3rd and my van had been stolen
I feel for you more I hope you get it back

Fancy van needs fancy tools lol
And not a stupid old man driving 😂
And the need to charge fancy prices.
@Tomkat Gas Training I cant say owt. I am 62 soon lol
@@tomkatgastraining I've got to 65 just had a new box to stand on. 😉

Perhaps my spelling may not be spot on. But that does not detract from the fact this is bad driving and all his own fault.
