In a striking incident that has raised serious concerns about road safety and compliance in the haulage industry, a transport manager has been dismissed and permanently banned from holding a similar position. This action comes after the unsafe transportation of a 50-metre steel tube along the M25 motorway, which was executed without necessary safety measures.
Essex Police discovered the enormous load, referred to as “abnormal” due to its size and potential road hazard, being transported on the M25. The discovery was made during a routine patrol and immediately flagged due to the absence of agreed-upon safety protocols.
