Was on my way to Turon in Poland with a JCB when involved in an incident just past the Berlin split on the A12. Going up a hill at about 20/25 mph a Polish truck behind me got a bit to impatiant to pass me and pulled out a wee bit early clipping the back end of a little black Fiat in the centre lane. I heard a screech and the car then hit my unit or front of the trailer before sliding along to the front of my unit carreering across the front and down the nearside. Luckily noone one hurt and only cosmetic damage and a couple of broken indicator lenses was done to my wagon, but most disconcerting though. The other driver never stopped but was collared at Frankfurt De Oder. At the time I worked for Richard Long of Wymondham Norfolk hauling mostly JCB stuff out and anything back ranging from animal feed to agricultural machinery back, any where from Poland to Portugal, great job if you dont mind being away for awhile, wish I were doing it again.
