Scratchie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Today I caught up with fellow raider stickybeak and his boys. We met at soldiers point boat ramp to go for an early flick around the bay! After noticing two men parked in one of the ramps blocking people using it, I was a bit perplex until further examining the area, I could make out what I thought was an ariel and yes I was right! One of the blokes there had forgot to put his handbrake on! What a waste of a beautiful morning in the bay! Cheers scratchie!!!

Guest mike2153 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You've gotta feel sorry for people who do this, such a simple mistake to make but such a big one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incredible Hull Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I honestly don't understand how people do it. If the handbrake is off, the car would be visually rolling before you even got out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikila Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I owned a car about 20 years back that would jump from park to reverse and nearly drowned it at greenwell point when launching the boat but then it was a ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ive seen a guy and his Ford truck at berowra. He had the hand break on but i could slowly see the car giving way. It started to roll and i made a dash for his car. Was gonna jump through the window but he made it first. Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffles me as to why wouldn't you put it in gear, its standard practise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebottle18 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I always carried a couple of pieces of suitable timber and had them ready should the car began to slip or the ramp a bit slippery. Awareness and alertness is always handy.or just in case. I would always put a block under the wheels when pulling the trailer out. JUST IN CASE.

Devil Ray Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I dont understand how you can forget the handbrake on such a steep slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
