Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

Stupid bloody people, I mean really.

Shame the bridge didn't collapse then and there :D

If the bridge had collapsed I bet their families would have been up in arms trying to blame the council or the government for it.

At least the barriers have been strongly reinforced now to prevent any more idiocy from those stupid drivers.

Strangely, I thought exactly the same thing when I read this earlier. :D

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

I don't care if the van drivers wanted to kill themselves but they are **** for putting other lives at risk like the emergency services.

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

Unbelievable! The stupidity of some people still surprises me.

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

My driver used to give anyone messing about with the kit, a real dowsing, he alway said sorry afterwards lol

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

Shall l tell you something, firstly, the drivers of both vans should have BOTH been sacked, they put a entire village under threat, as the weight of the vans could have crushed the bridge into the water, and that includes the emergency services, how stupid, sencondly, the white van league had two things on there minds, selfess employers that didn't give monkey's all they wanted was the MONEY, for the goods, and probabely self employed drivers who wanted the money, pathetic and stupid.

Don't forget this bridge carries around a thousand phone lines so should these fools have collapsed it then many people would be without telecoms

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

There is no legislating for the stupidity of man :(

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

they cant be that stupid because they didnt get hurt and obviously saved the time they wanted to . Now they would have been stupid if the bridge collapsed but it didnt

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

Don't mistake luck for a lack of stupidity :)

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

Yep they trusted to dumb luck and it favoured them, the thing with luck is eventually it runs out...

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

This is what amazed me the other day when I heard about drivers still truing up at the bridge at Workington, expecting it to be there, because their satellite navigation told them to go there. Were these people living on a different planet for the weekend?

Re: Vehicles filmed crossing damaged Calva Bridge
 

Some silly person moved the barriers, and then some other drivers got sent over it by their sat navs.
The majority who went over were not locals.
It has been sorted now, no one will get over it.
