He should have driven over the mid section. Around here they soon learned they needed to remove the inside hard curbs when the circle was too small in diamter. Jon
Yeah, this guy is an idiot. You can clearly see the soft (ramped) curbs on the inside, made specifically for this purpose. It's really susprising anyone experienced enough to be tasked with driving that rig didn't know to do this.

I guess Aussie Truck Driving school is like the FL Aviation School that got the 9/11 hijackers. Just teach me to drive straight I won't worry about turning (I don't care about take-off/landing just steering the plane)

Looks like 4 bolts holding that road sign in the middle of the round-about.
I thought about taking down that pole and was going to post. But if there's a lamp up top, the city's staff would have to get involved. So I went looking for local papers describing how this was resolved. But found nothing. Saw some 'driver wanted' ads. :D

Comments in that Reddit post named the city, Geraldton in Western Australia, north of Perth. And somebody posted a city map. It's obvious he took a wrong turn somewhere and was headed into even worse tight streets along the waterfront.

Roadtrain took wrong turn was my first impression too. To get out, split the train at the 2nd A trailer, taking the dolly, and find the roadtrain assembly area ( there will be one just out of town) and drop the lead B double unit and go back and get the 2nd B double unit.

3rd hand information, but supposedly this was on Route 89 in NH near VT border this week, not sure those taillights will make it very far and I'll bet the close line rope is good for at least 30 lbs 😲

That doesn't bother me as much as that the hitch doesn't appear to be latched onto the ball.
I could be mistaken, but that hitch sure doesn't look right.

At the fifth roundabout on a quaint little street (suburban New Orleans) I gave up and drove straight, right over all the pretty little flowers.

Between vertical clearance issues caused by low tree branches and pulling doubles, there was no way to keep the second trailer off of them on the very narrow street, so why even try?

I'm pretty sure the hitch is latched, I think it looks weird because the hitch has a downward angle.

I'm more worried that that trailer doesn't have any brakes with a B2320 w/loader behind a small suv.
