Most drivers working from quarries are normally quite conscientious about this as any stone stuck is just as likely to go through their diesel or air tanks.
My Dad, as a lorry driver, always has his story of a chain snapping allowing a 5 ton of granite rock to fall off on a left hand bend, bounce across the road landing on the verge opposite. (So lucky nothing coming the other way).
This was part of a contract delivering rock for sea defences so was passing the abandoned rock daily. One day he was sat in his lorry nearby having lunch only to see a mobile crane passing, a little beer money changed hands, rock loaded and Westward Ho eventually had all of their sea defences delivered.
Was that in North Wales.

A squaddie. We were all a little pissed up in the back of a few Bedfords after a week on exercise and one lad was standing up pissing out the back when a bump in the road caused him to lose balance and fall out with his todger hanging out. Fortunately it was on a track on the exercise area or it might have been a bit more than injured pride.
