One time going to park underground at 'The Base' in Te-Rapa Hamilton, as we drove down the 'IN' ramp, (SH1 side), a small truck carrying some new Whiteware drove down the 'Out' ramp beside and just ahead of us. A large refrigerator which was standing up on the back, (and strapped on), caught on the opening above it and the truck stopped VERY suddenly and did a wheelstand. Lmfao. There was an Asian woman driving it. Not too sure she realised it was the 'out' ramp. And she didn't even think about the height of the load and the height of the 'doorway' . Ouch. The fridge was rather seriously broken and possibly some other products also !

You would think someone would have made the decision to lower the road a little bit by now.

Put in a laser activated warning system and roads are being changed elsewhere so fewer trucks go down that road.
