why does it take 2 hours to sort this mess out

Depends on injuries, other offences, drivability of vehicles, availability of recovery, language barriers etc I guess.
|
If you'd said all day then fair enough but 2hrs isnt THAT bad.
|
now one was hurt just a simple rear shunt
|
Just be lucky it wasn't a doughnut truck that was involved, it would've taken weeks to clear up! ;) :D
|
What did the lorry hit?
|
Could be due to the recovery people being busy?

There is no such thing as a simple accident involving two HGVs.

2 hours was quick, it's when they do the whole routine for a dog thats been run over by a bin truck that it gets silly.

Ambulance arrive.....There could be injuries, I am sure you would want medical attention if you were injured in a car accident.
Accounts, ARB's and breathalising.... Well without these insurance wont pay out, I am sure you would want a payout if you were hit by another vehicle resulting in a total loss. Tacho check........ If a driver has been on the road for 14 hours non stop and hit you I am sure you would want that dealt with Producers....... I am sure you would want the driver to be made to prove his allowed on the road in the first place Witness accounts....... I am sure you would want a witness account taken if a reckless driver hit you. Traffic SGT....... Its a major road, I am sure you wouldnt want a beat bobby managing that scene |
Spot on Tim :)
Sometimes the simplest things take the longest, for reasons some of us dont understand. Were we in the job, we might understand them better. Personally, I would wanna know why an lorry manages to drive straight into the back of another one, on a low speed access road. As has been said, could have been a car, and that would have been messy. |
