Once Is Happenstance, Twice Is Coincidence...

The horrified driver tried to stop the truck as he chased it down Borron Street in Port Dundas, around one mile north of Glasgow's city centre. Footage shows him frantically opening the door to try to climb inside and clinging on until he is thrown to the ground.
No one was hurt in the accident but five cars were damaged, including one which was written off.
What is it with bin lorries in Glasgow? How do they even get insurance?!?

Most companies with large vehicle fleets self-insure because the probability of claims is too high for insurance to make sense.

Matbe they need to improve driver training or truck maintenance or even get more tail gunners. The third option has some appeal as it would use some of the lazy gits that the authorities hav pot in the local hotels - make the buggers work for the handouts they are given.

The premiums in Glasgow must be insane!

I'm not sure I want to trust them with heavy machinery, especially as we've no idea who they really are...
