Telehandler Death Wish

Spotted in a shopping area in, Langley, Berkshire, England a telescopic handler working with absolutely total disregard for traffic or pedestrians.
As our readers says: “Seems as there is NO safety here at all on a busy road! Where’s the banks man, etc…”

A telehandler working in the street and around pedestrians with apparently no traffic measures

Given all the discussion from the Health & Safety regarding rearward visibility issues on telehandlers it is amazing that no one has picked this up. The situation occurred at the end of last week and may well still be going on.

Given that this unit could run into or be run into by passing vehicles, run over pedestrians or drop a load on them, this is definitely one for our Death Wish series.
