6.not securing ladders on roof rack and stopping at a crossing and ladders shooting forward and just missing the old lady crossing the road as well as putting a dint in yer bonnet!!(true!its happened to me once many years back!!) :
glad i am not the only one, one time pulls up at junction on busy road, hear familiar sound of ladder sliding forward, then see it shoot of roof rack , scraping bonnet (on a new berlingo multi space that was only a few mths old ),luckily, gap in traffic , so no cars hit , or driving over it.
2nd time pulled out of a custys , onto a fast road , you know the type, small gap in traffic so you floor acelerator, this time forgot to strap 9 ft a frame on , came shooting off, turned round further down road , went back to retrieve it ---to late lorry drove straight over it
