Fortunately they were all fully dressed.
What this means in practise is that tesco is over run with yummy mummies and their bloody offspring
Unfortunately, the weight of the swinging Underider and shock absorbers also;affected the payload of the vehicle. The law was intended to require that the vehicle was drivable after impact, but this was never enacted, so it could be repaired at a later date. The shock absorbers were a revolutionary patented design which allowed programmed deceleration of the vehicle hitting you, reduce reducing injury to its driver.Many (many!) years ago Quinton Hazell introduced just such a device which they called an Underider. They hawked it around for years with little take-up. It was a good idea and certainly would have saved many lives if it had been implemented as standard but, as there was no financial benefit to the trailer owner, simply withered away.
