Re: John John ! Fibreglass mini !!!
But have you ever pushed the button to make it tip up while driving along?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

So, hold on here chaps.. Are you telling me that it's actually possible to operate the tipping thing when the truck is moving? 
I had assumed that it wouldn't be so, but if it is, then I'm going to find some balloons that could be filled with pleasant, perfumed liquid and given to deserving road users we pass along the way.

Rich has a side line flytipping. He just drives along the road and tips up the bed to get rid of all the rubble from his last job.
I know it is possible to pull a transit tipper forwards with the bed fully tilted as I have done it but I have never tried tipping while driving.

Re: John John ! Fibreglass mini !!!
Why does it not surprise me that this thread has evolved from GRP-shelled minis to fly tipping? 
I was 30 years old before I learned that fly tipping isn't to cow tipping as table tennis is to lawn tennis.

We have a Fiat Ulysse bus with electric side doors. They can be opened by pressing a button, even with the vehicle in motion. Fortunately there is an over-ride above the front seats.
