Re: Impatient Motorist VS Excavator

Lol, hard to tell who was really in the wrong here. If you're unloading an excavator in the middle of a road with traffic, you should probably set up some cones or something to mark off the area. At least as you're unloading the equipment.

It could have been way worse though. I was waiting for a vehicle to come flying into the frame at 60mph and plow into the excavator.. not some wimpy little scratch.

Re: Impatient Motorist VS Excavator

Sorry, it's the fault of the driver. The excavator operator can't see very well behind him, (If at ALL).
The car SHOULD have just stopped and waited 60 seconds.
When you are around such large equipment, you need to watch out for yourself.

Re: Impatient Motorist VS Excavator

Car at fault and should have waited but the operator might have done that deliberately. Lol

Re: Impatient Motorist VS Excavator

It looks like if the car had floored it instead of braking, he'd have made it. Hard to tell for sure.
