I came across this post a few moments ago that I felt necessitated a warning to Funsters who may be passing through Calais.
I don't wish to appear to be scaremongering but when scaffold poles are being thrown off motorway bridges coming into Calais, road users need to stay vigilant and cautious.
On the above link occasion, the pole went straight through the windscreen of the truck, luckily it was left hand drive so the driver survived.
I don't know about other funsters but I have always been suspicious of people standing on motorway or road bridges over traffic lanes and have always tried to pass under the bridge in the lane furthest away from them, seen it before with bricks, car tyres and whatever the numpties can lay their hands on.
