Camper van driver with no spatial awareness visits St Ives – and leaves havoc in their wake
Camper vans, frankly, are undesirable things. The idea of holidaying in a tin box resembling an oversized sardine can is frankly highly unappealing but one tourist learnt the hard way that such machines are just an utter nuisance to drive also.
In Monday’s Mail Online, an unnamed camper van driver’s escapade was featured after this plainly spatially unaware individual managed to lodge a vehicle – hired from Just Go Motorhome Hire – between scaffolding in a narrow lane in St Ives in Cornwall.
Eventually, with the help of the officers and the removal of scaffolding, the holidaymakers are reported to have continued on their merry way. Locals, meanwhile, probably wish they just go for good.

For long journeys camper vans are actually very useful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I own one myself and think you’re being very unfair to someone who simply made an innocent mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s easily done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not surprised you diver a camper van. Does it have a lot of exclamation marks on the side? Follow them and JUST GO yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Stocken would never dream or dare take me on holiday in one of these deathtraps. They blow over in the wind and are too wide for the roads. Caravans are even worse. Ban them at once.
Oops,
N.B. ‘ The person who never makes a mistake never makes anything ‘
If you really want to find out how caravans should be sorted out, read how Jack Nelson my dictator deals with them in my novel Union Jack (available on Amazon-plug plug!) Even the Secretary for Transport, Patrick McLoughlin who wrote to me after reading the book,thought it was a hilarious solution to the dreadful congestion caused by them!
It is shocking that caravan owners can just go out and buy one without any training. They fail to load them properly and cause accidents and this fool represents the tip of the iceberg. A crusading MP ought to take this subject on.
