Four wheel drive run over.

This is an incident that occured near my workplace.
I thought it might appeal to some of you that get a hard time from car
drivers.

Have a look here.

Hey Marty - was that at Muja? Hope the haulpac driver was OK...

There've been a few goodies there over the years.The past one I saw was a
Toyota, and the haulpac went right over the top. I don't think anyone was in
it at the time, but it squashed it flat as a pancake.

Repeat after me "ALWAYS, always, always park in the designated parking
spots". Me wonders where the flashing safety light has gotten to (not
that that stops the same thing happening when people park on the roadway).


I notice that those photographs are not on their official gallery

Not long after that I went to an induction course which we have to
repeat each year. The guy that ran the induction course told us that you
never park on the drivers right hand side at the front. The trucks are
left hand drive and the right front is a blind spot. When the
supervisors went down to check out the site the next day where did they
park? In the front right hand side! (Roll eyes..)

Rule number two is you ALWAYS give way to these trucks at an intersection.

Hi Dave

Another good one is the scraper on the coal pile at Muja. About once
every two years someone rolls it over. It's a pretty big machine with an
engine in the front to pull it and another in the rear that pushes.
Looks like a huge bobtail goanna lying on it's back.

A fairly common accident in mines. A long time ago I spent a couple of years
working in various mines in the Pilbara, and saw quite a few cars squashed
by dump trucks, and quite a few scrapers that were rolled by their cowboy
operators.

I had a boss once that managed to loose two cars in 3 weeks. Both times
he parked directly behind scrapers parked in a line (babies - only
621's). Both times the operator tried to back up and heard an unusual
scraping noise (the car roof) so stopped. One BMW and one Fairlane
(fair enough for the Fairlane.

Best so far is a guy that poked the noise of a troop carrier onto a haul
road (intersection is in a bit of a cutting). Had 4 guys in the back
and three in the front. I was sitting behind them. Just pokes the
noise out and thump a 190 tonner coming past at top speed (all of 40
mph). Haulpac didn't stop but it sheared the front off the troopie
right at the firewall. Almost as neat as a metal shears.

Ever had the chance to try either the haulpacs or scrapers out unloaded
on watered haul roads? The ultimate butt clenching oversteer/four wheel
drift fun available, unless caught by the safety officer.
