I did see an Irish plated wagon on the m62 heading west a year or two back carrying a cat dozer on a steel deck trailer. It had a 5t ratchet strap each end and not a chain in sight. I hope the ferry crossing wasn’t too rough, machine must have been 12-15t

The driver was going to have me until I pointed to the HIAB leg sticking out 6 feet .
He was physically sick in front of me .
The same thing happened to my old boss but with fatal consequences.
I believe that they have safety interlocks fitted now .
