[Flaymar]

Travelling at 100*km/h on the mitchell fwy when a ladder falls of the back of a truck. Dont seem to bad in the video but gave me a fair jolt at the time.

I had only just completed my R test and passed a couple of hours prior lol

hard to see in video try full HD =)

Have you got their rego? Report it to police


(sorry for obvious questions, I can't view videos here)

[Flaymar]

ya i do, if ladder landed differently i would of been fucked up for sure.

Nice one Ugly, the amount of times i have seen stuff blow out of trailers etc (even cage trailers) is just insane, mattresses, pot plants, planks of wood! People need to learn to tie their shit down!!

And congrats on the R pass.

Er.. seems to have fallen off the truck somewhere in the next post code?

Good job I guess.

[Flaymar]

well it all happened in about 3 seconds from it falling and me passing it, its just hard to see it all via the video
Like if it landed the opposite way crossing lanes would of been a totally different story for sure.

You mustn't have seen the truck pulled over a coupla hundred metres up the road Cam??

That was lucky Kent, thanks for the reminder.

There are heavy fines for unsecured loads now, my old business partner was pulled over a few times for unsecured items, I think he said its a $400 fine next time.

dude you were so lucky, if that ladder had been on the road you could have hit it

Yep, go buy a lotto ticket, but be very carefull of those automatic doors at the shops. It's only a matter of time before they disect someone.

yeah, was sounding like a near miss until I saw the video. Ladder owner is still a douche for not securing it properly, it could have actually landed across both lanes.
