Have to admire an Optimist!

[Maxdecel]

Think he needed a larger vehicle

Can’t see a problem. He’s got a hi viz bib tied on the back.

[blue_haddock]

If its on, its gone!

I'd love to see that thing going round a corner! The end of the metal frame must have swung all over the place.

[poo at Paul's]

We joke, but such a cretin should never be allowed to drive again.
With an overhang that huge, could very easily have killed someone.

What an idiot. Clearly he should have mounted it vertical.

[mac96]

Since when was that a van?

He could have ratchet-strapped a trailer to the back end

Would work with trolley wheels, does such a thing exist?

When i see some of those tow dollys i wander of their safety tbh

Only because the hi Vis vest was a bit too far inboard from the end of the frame.

I think that's stretching it a bit.....!

[donkmeister]

Would have loved to see half a dozen rugby forwards jump on the far end - assuming it's strapped down sufficiently it could have been the first transit wheelie in Halifax.

[wpa1975]

Idiot, how could anybody even consider that safe

[markjmd]

Forget the driver for a minute, it must have taken a whole gang of idiots (or Heaven forbid, a professional crane operator), to load that thing onto the Transit to begin with. They should all be prosecuted too, or sectioned.

[livinginasia]

See stuff worse than that on the roads over here in Thailand every day of the week !

[Rough101]

Unicycle and a light board and it’s good to go.

[ARHarh]

Yes but did he hit anything, knock anything over or even scrap any paint off his load? If not its probably OK.

I once saw a motor bike with a trailer, he had a dinning table and 4 chairs on this trailer. its amazing what you see with cardboard numberplates in the Welsh countryside.

[CRA1G]

This looks Dangerous...! There's NO Hi-Vis jacket hanging on the back....

[chrisch77]

Given the type of vehicle involved I'm slightly surprised the news article doesn't mention any questioning of where the 'large metal frame' came from...
