To you guys gloating about the destruction, give yourselves some pause to consider that someone's P&J, as well as whatever contents that were inside, has been completely ruined.

Calm down dear. It is quite an amusing site to see.

Whilst it may we have been his p&j, he'll be getting a brand new one shortly. I wouldn't be too worried!
Oh do fk off.

If it was some PH'ers pride and joy smashed to kingdom come, would it still be an amusing sight?

No, but because you don't "get" caravans, it's fair game to point and laugh at the destruction of someone else's property.

But hey, they'll be getting a new one shortly, so it's all ok.

fk me, I really despair sometimes.

Either way, all of our car insurance policies will increase a little bit, not a cause for celebration frown

I assume that those who are complaining that caravans hold them up know that the law states the maximum speed for a car towing a trailer or caravan on a single carriageway road is 50mph and on a dual carriageway or motorway is 60mph.

Whilst there will always be dawdlers driving every type of vehicle, it is not our fault that the law says we have to travel 10mph slower on certain roads than those not towing.

We don't want you to go faster. We just don't want you on the roads at all. hehe

Couldn't you have the caravan couriered to your site of choice?

As I said, calm down dear? Don't get your knickers in a twist. I assume you're part of the house brigade?

In this case, it's not just funny as it's a caravan destroyed - how often do you have to worry about a fork or steak knife puncturing your tyre. Not the norm and, as the op said, I can see the amusing side to random people picking up other random people's stuff.

Nobody died dude. Chill the fk out.

You obviously find the destruction of someone's property amusing; I don't - regardless if no-one died.

house brigade? No, I don't even like caravans much, but well done on again attempting to be as inflammatory as possible.

I probably wouldn't have told you to fk off if you hadn't been so patronising in your opener, but as you were, and as you continue to be, I'll say it again just for good measure - do fk off.

With respect Zod - so who is going to 'courier' it then? Unless it goes on a recovery vehicle (restricted on some roads AFAIK to even less than a towed caravan) it would still have to be towed.
And with regard to you not wanting us on the road at all - that is not very nice. I do not like people that our contributor spoke about on the road, the ones dawdling along at typically 35-ish, but I wish they would just get a bit of a move on, but not wish to ban them.
