Strange sights on the road... - Dave_TD
Bit of an odd one, this. I was approaching the QEII bridge over the Thames at Thurrock last night when I noticed that at the Crossing Patrol post on the left hand side of the road was one of their Land Rover Defenders, in the middle of the concrete access road, laying on its drivers side.

Now I have read about turning cars on their side when undertaking major floorpan welding work, for example, but I wouldn't have thought the Dartford Crossing was so strapped for cash that the staff have to do it to their company vehicles in quiet moments during the working day.

It wasn't windy or stormy or anything, and I haven't noticed any earthquakes in the Essex area lately. It was definitely there, no doubt about it, the traffic was at a crawl so the topsy-turvy Landy was in plain view for a good 40 seconds as I passed. Has anyone got any idea why or how it came to be there?

Anyone seen any other unusual sights on the roads?

Dave.
