You can imagine the towing driver spotting the camera van, braking hard, losing it as the trailer went past and then Oooooooh S*****ugar.

No officer, it's not a speedboat. It's a safety boat. Like your camera is a safety camera . . .

Berthing was never really Mr Smiths strong point, especially when being watched.

Fletcher thought he had made it out of HMP Slade, but was headed off at the pass.

Reading the article, it states that the trailer came detached from the towing vehicle and collided head-on with the van which was travellling in the opposite direction.
I want to know how they managed to park them line that, without separting them.

The boat was obviously trying to pass port to port, so kept to the right as is correct for a boat. But the van insisted in keeping to the vehicle rules and kept to the left.

Years ago, traveling to Holyhead on the old A5, I saw more or less the same incident. Ahead was a boat/trailer combo towed by a big 4x4 which went over a brow in the road to find a stationary car ahead. Panic braking, tyre smoke, and the trailer jack-knifed to launch the boat nose-first down the road.
The on-coming coach driver was quite shocked to find the boat wedged under his feet. No-one was injured fortunately.

I believe there was a case many years ago in which a boat and a car collided on a flooded road, and the courts had to decide whether the boat should have kept to port or the car should have driven on the right.
