Dear Boss, I broke a tail light !!
Permalink  

Dear Boss,

 

I backed the front end loader up and broke the tail light/ reversing light.

 

You will see the bolt that holds the rear light on has been broken and I may have also broken the globe, although the wire for the light assembly seems to be intact, so that's a plus.

 

I don't think it will cost very much to have it fixed...  I have included a couple of pictures so you can get a sense of the damage.

The driver of the truck may have had to go to a toilet in a hurry.

We had grandkids in a bus at Monarto Zoo in SA a few years ago and as we went around the zoo roads we came up behind a grader ahead. He had just done a grading run and was reversing back for the next adjacent run - right where the bus was parked.

He wasn't looking and the bus driver was transfixed. I said to her it might be wise to move, but she was still transfixed.

When the grader was about 30-40 m away I said to her "I would reverse if I was you". Still no reaction.

So I yelled for her to reverse, she looked at me and then fumbled for the right gear,,, too late - grader backed straight into front LH side of the bus.

Grader driver never looked back and probably didn't use his mirror as well.

Was reallllllly slow motion.  Lucky no one injured and grader hit front of bus and not the weaker sides.

Years ago one while an apprentice mechanic fit Holden dealer.. In NZ we where loading Holdens off the railway ! You guessed it ! About 20 HJ Holdens were lined up along an old rail line that fed into the local butter factory..
It seems the churns making butter had stopped working so the guys went for lunch . We could only take two cars at a time back to dealership. On return we herd this light crunch .. The railway wagon they where loading with butter the hand brake came off and ever so slowly run into 3 brand new Kingswoods .. Was strange 60 ton moving at 2 mph the damage !!

he never mentioned the fire extinguisher as well,  buggered.gif
