It could be fun, if a truck on the loose rammed this, and the pole retracted, and the police would wonder what the hell happened!! ;D

Wow, after that impact and the pole barely moved.... :o

Definately messed up the resale value of the truck..... ;D

But on a positive note, clearly it increased the scrap value of the truck.... ;)

;D

I wonder how fast it was going? They used a real ropy old truck mind you - I think there wouldn't much scrap value in that before the crash Romulous. ;)

fifth gear last season I believe.
Nice to know if your a truck or van driver if you hit one of these things you'll be dead rather quickly. ::)

McVay's ticket has already been punched. They might be able to scrounge up a couple of terrorist to use as crash test dummies.

Thats not a real truck, its a kids toy!  :P

To be precise, its a 7.5ton van.

How that post would stand upto a UK spec 44ton truck,is a completely different matter I'd guess.   ;)
