Been in that position, but with a 20' container.
Seems to take forever before you hit the ground.
Speed is not always the cause, I was only doing about 10MPH when mine fell over. |

| Heard the story of a guy that was pulled over by the cops in Melbourne for speeding. He asked " are you sure you want to give me that ticket ?" After he got his ticket, he wrote out a ticket,for the cops, for not wearing their high vis. jackets whilst on the road ! |

It's very rarely speed that causes trucks to fall over - usually happens when the cadence of the swing matches the cadence of the steering input - & then it's too late - often seen on roundabouts at very low speed,cheers,JD.

Hi
I suspect that they might have been later arrivals just finding their way past.
Unless, perhaps, the A40 is the police car and just the Anglia is going past
