[Elecman]

Has anyone else seen the images of the idiot hanging out of the van on the motorway?

Presume NR Lifesaving rules will now be applied to KJ Rail and they will be suspended from NR Infrastructure for such blatant disregards.

Workman hangs out of the door of van travelling at 85mph on motorway - and says it was because he was feeling ill

• Man seen leaning out of sliding door of work van in middle of motorway
• He appeared to be laughing as he dangled leg outside of the KJ Rail van
• His boss says man claims he was getting some 'fresh air' as he was unwell
• Police and employers are investigating and man could face the sack

A workman caught hanging out the door of a van travelling at 85mph down the motorway says he was only doing it because he needed some fresh air.

The man, wearing an orange high-vis jacket, could be seen leaning out the sliding door of the black Vauxhall Vivaro van as it hurtled down the outside lane of the M40 near Oxford.

He appeared to be laughing and making jokes with his colleagues inside the KJ Rail van as he hung his body - and even a leg - out of the vehicle.

Today his boss, who has called the man in for a disciplinary hearing, revealed that the man claims he was only leaning out of the door because he wasn't feeling unwell and needed some fresh air.....

If he was unwell, wouldn't it have been more sensible to stop the van so he could get some fresh air ?

Shouldn't have been doing 85!!

From the article the witness and photographer has said

'We were travelling about 65 in the middle lane and he came flying up behind us. He must have been doing about 80

The photographer is clearly not in the middle lane from the photos. Whilst the pictures make it clear of the incident, anything not in the pictures can possibly be disregarded.

According to the boss, as quoted in the Daily Mail, he was leaning out of the van 'because he wasn't feeling unwell.' Doh!

He'd have felt even more unwell if he had fallen out:roll:, idiotic behaviour!

He is also blocking the drivers view from the nearside mirror.

You would strip a company of its contracts because of e lucky to have any railway at all with that sort of attitude.

If he'd have risked it and kept quiet, it would have been difficult to prove just by those photos the vehicle was in motion while he was hanging out.

Not that I condone his behavior, totally moronic thing to do.

Its a company of 'questionable' characters anyway so this doesn't surprise me. One flew past me in Wigan a few weeks ago doing about 50 in a 30 with music blaring.

I wonder what would have occurred had a police motorway patrol car had sight of this alleged incident.

I think him and the driver would have both been getting fixed penalty tickets or prosecuted.

The sort of thing you would expect from some brain dead chav on police camera action!

Are you referring to the driver/vanman or the police?
