EPIC FAIL!

[Parksy]

Lifted shamelessly from Practical Motorhome, I can only assume that the driver couldn't convert feet and inches into metres, or he was 'following the sat nav'

Did he/she put it on cruise control, then pop in the back to put the kettle on?

 

[WoodlandsCamper]

Ouch

Anybody want to buy a cheap motorhome? good engine and chasis but bodywork is a bit rough............

 

[NigelHutson]

Could it be the latest restoration project for Practical Motorhome?

Would have loved to have heard the 'conversation' immediately afterwards.

Looks a lot like the approach to the port of Boulogne - ad a near miss at the same place a few years ago as the first 'height' sign some 100m back was obscured and it was raining very hard.

 

[Surfer]

At that height, not many caravans would get through without damage. Easy enough mistake to make I guess.

Wonder what speed he was going to peel off quite so much.

Possibly 30mph as the caravan part is nto "rigid" and it would not take much to damage it.

He appears to have stopped in about 8 metres, so about 15mph - the stopping distance from 20mph is 12 metres.

Flippin eck is that all.

Scary to think so little speed causes so much damage. unstoppable force meeting immovable object and all that.

Even Alu-tech and SoLiD construction won't help!!
