Comments on: Not Suitable For HGV’s http://www.racefox.com/2009/05/not-suitable-for-hgvs/ A bitter 30 something redhead ranting shouty thoughts and miscellany with the world… Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:47:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Foxsden http://www.racefox.com/2009/05/not-suitable-for-hgvs/#comment-739 Foxsden Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:09:28 +0000 http://www.racefox.com/?p=1225#comment-739 Thanks for your comment Adrian. It's the only time I've seen a Sackers lorry down there and on this occasion I ended up having to stop because one of the branches that fell in front of my car was too big to drive over or around and I had to get out and move it. Meanwhile the lorry got stuck further down the lane with a tractor - there was vehicle carnage for a few minutes but he got through and I got stuck there while the tractor came past - that's why I didn't get vehicle details. It was on Pound Lane - the little cut through from Bramford Road to Little Blakenham, which if you know the area - you know there are no houses to deliver to. It's purely a shortcut. If it happens again I'll definitely follow the lorry back to Claydon - As for the driver who had one of those massive and tall 'roll on roll off' skips on the back, he probably would have known he was taking a risk driving through there even if it isn't a no-go for his vehicle, it was certainly too much for his load!

In our defence we do deliver skips to household customers so there would be a genuine reason for using this lane. Unsuitable for HGV,s , does not mean "no access" for HGV,s. There are always times when my vehicles have to access tight spots. As you quite rightly pointed out your picture is not one of my vehicles. If this a regular occurence then I would like to know about it via direct contact with us. If you only mention it on your BLOG, we are less likely to be able to act upon it. We do not deliberately set out to annoy or offend.
