    going to need some new garage door panels.
    There is only one way to haul those cheap formed metal panels in a vehicle like that. They have to be bundled together and wrapped, shrink wrap will do a good enough job of stiffening the bundle if enough is used, then for obvious reasons if they are going to be hauled in a short UTE or pickup, a strap or rope or anything stronger than a man's grip tying to the headache rack is better and safer than a man trying to hold them in place. The guy was lucky he wasn't thrown out of the back of the pickup as well.
    The more I see this kind of stuff the more I am reminded of how lots of folks have tried to haul mattress on top of their cars by having 4 people inside the car grip on to the handles it usually does not end well.

    There is no right or wrong side to drive on it is all a matter of geography and wat you are accustomed to. Having lived worked and driven in countries of either designation I don't find either to be different than the other once you familiarize yourself with the local system.
    What bothers me though is the roads in some of the big cities here in the US where it seams that some don't know which way they are going so they drive right down the middle or enter from exit ramps and drive in the opposite direction of everyone else.

    All too true Frank...when folk ask me how you can drive on the left, the stock answer is to look at what's happening on the right side...my only dramas have been doing a clockwise turn in a cul de sac in the states...

    I think we drive on the wrong side of the road in the UK. I have driven in the states and found it far easier to adjust than it was to adjust back - to me that speaks volumes. I think speed has something to do with it as well, US driving is just so chilled at 50 mph, on the whole most stick to the law and its just so pleasurable.
    85,90 and the occasional 110 mph in a BMW/Audi UK idiot drivers just make the whole experience hostile.
    Don't get me wrong i can drive assertively and would probably make a good Police high speed pursuit driver (at least my ego thinks so).
    I can throw a car around like a stunt driver at 30 mph - speed just gets you from A to B faster (or does it). You get idiots overtake and 10 mins later you either catch up or end up passing them. Whats that all about.
    There is a time and a place or if you can get away with driving like a retard but doing it every day, madness.
    Everyone behind the wheel thinks they are the best driver in the world or a racing driver - for the first only you know how good or bad you actually are and the second racing is carried out in controlled environments where the drivers all go in one direction (Demolition Darby exempt).
    kids all think they can drive fast but forget its actually a precision thing, to drive at speed requires experience, concentration and precision not simply the act of driving like a retard. To position a car (or Bike) to take a corner and use the road and surroundings to your advantage to gain speed and precision isn't something speed freaks take into consideration and yet its the difference between first and last in a formula 1 car race.
    If kids want to idealise the likes of Lewis Hamilton they should learn to drive like him - funnily enough i doubt he has a speeding ticket, go figure.

    This obviously has nothing to do with an idiot carrying an unsafe load - oh where to start on that one. Remove idiot remove problem possibly.

    An American diplomat's wife, who left the United Kingdom after becoming a suspect in a fatal traffic collision, was driving on the wrong side of the road at the time of the crash, according to the police.
    And if you forget for a moment.
