On the way into work there was a rather large branch in the middle of the road on a country lane. Bloke in a van ahead of me carefully inched his way past it on one side, probably got a few nasty scratches down the panel for his troubles. I simply parked the truck across the road, chucked the hazards on and then got out of the cab and pulled the branch out of the way into a nearby ditch, thus making life easier for both myself and other road users.
My point is not how wonderful I am at doing this, but more what the bloody hell was the bloke in front thinking of??!! It's surely obvious that it would be better just to move the obstacle rather than try to avoid it. *****.
