Alot easier to do than you give him credit for >:( It is possible to do on a roundabout by simply braking sharply when some gimp cuts you up. Anyone who drives these will tell you the same...

Don't suppose that you've ever run wide around a bend without meaning to :-X

That is exactly what happened to me near Kettering, going round the roundabout above the dual carriageway (A14) and a car decided to cut across me to get off the exit I was just passing! Served to avoid him and ended up lifting the 2 rear axles of the ground drivers side :o

I turned the wheel hard left again to straighten the trailer out and managed to stop it toppling over..... I never cakked my pants so much as I did that day :-X

Post by: big mel on 25 May 2012, 17:32:21: A loaded tanker is unstable all the time even more if its a drop tank in a frame, any tanker worth his salt knows this, but you get the odd knobhead in trucking whether you are hauling dry freight or a tank. mel.

Post by: adey2 on 28 May 2012, 16:27:26: i deliver shipping containers and they as unstable as tankers, due to fact that they can be loaded anyway by any moron who dont give a crap, the centre of gravity is so high on some that cornering can be terrible at even low speeds, i also used to do the recovery of vehicles that had toppled, some just blown over by the windy conditions
