Not what you're thinking... ;)
Was travelling back from Chippenham today on a driving lesson, just about to pass Subway in Melksham, when a truck going the opposite way started discarding wheel nuts. One hit the front of the car, and several were scattered up the road for the next quarter of a mile. Just wondered if anyone coming through Beanacre after about 4.10pm noticed a truck broken down with a wheel missing? ;D

Yep most likely the driver of said truck as its a daily check to make sure they are secure and supposed to be torqued once a week :o

I would have reported it anyway as that is bang out of order to be using it on the road like that >:( A wheel nut coming off at 30 -- 40 mph could kill someone :o

Glad youre car wasn't too badly damaged [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
