GMX Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Very Lucky The silver BMW seemed to take more of the stray axle impact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Just by looking at the pic I'm wondering if it's the Beemers fault :)Could he have been overtaking the white van, not seen the tractor and trailer coming the other way, collided with the trailer hence ripping off the axel? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense, particularly as typical BMW drivers tend to be unobservant of other road users 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 There's no bolts holding that axel on maybe they were rusting badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you'll be saying he didn't indicate before the overtake! ;) :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 There's no bolts holding that axel on maybe they were rusting badly I definitely think poor maintenance could be part of the problem as well. The different tyre types is a big clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Lack of trailer maintenance + BMW driving = shed axle :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 How does the Focus driver fill out the claim form. Eh an axle from a trailer landed on the roof of my car. Can you please explain in more detail sir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticfan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well, if he thinks his car's a Focus I'd question his eyesight for a start :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preecematt Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 They have to have insurance, public liability(mud on road for example), employers liability then your usual driving on the road insurance. Not sure if they're are other insurances we have, oh yea land/crop insurance, milk insurance(if you fail on antibiotics, chemical, cell counts or water) asset insurance(fertiliser etc). That's it off the top of my head 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
