I still advise people to give military vehicles a wide berth - especially on the motorways.

Most likely didnt tighten the chains correctly securing the wagon. It then shifted upsetting C of G. If the CRAARV it had been driving any distance before hand the suspension will have raised before loading. This is because they use HydroGas suspension units.
During the trip the loaders must stop after X ammount of KMs to check on the chains and re tighten once the suspension cools and settles lower.
In my experience they do drive like idiots. Not saying they all do but a lot do.
Each one I've loaded up on has. Less the times when I've had dare I say it, a Female driver.

The new tank transporters when loaded have a combined weight of over 120 tonnes, depending on the type of vehicle being carried.
The transporter alone is nearly 80 tonnes IIRC. Sure someone will put me right on this..
