If, like me, you haven’t got your christmas tree up yet but you are wondering how you are going to transport it home, then we would like to suggest perhaps not transporting it the same way as this driver.
This ‘lumberjack’ was spotted by a Safety Camera Unit investigator based in Plymouth for the Peninsula Road Safety Partnership.
In a tweet, @Safety_Cam_Ply said:
“Shocking image spotted on the A38 by one of our speed camera vans over the weekend.
“We all know it’s a hectic time of year in the run up to Christmas…
“But please consider the suitability of your vehicle if transporting such a large load”.
Although, to be fair, most people probably won’t have the dilemma of how to transport such a large tree, as people tend to go for 5-6ft versions of the trees rather than a 25ft version…
Officers said the van was spotted on the Plymouth-bound carriageway between Deep Lane junction and Marsh Mills at about 13:20 GMT on Saturday.
The image, as you would expect, has attracted loads of comments on social media:

Before you go...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
