Motorists watched in horror as a lorry thundered past them - with THREE skips perilously stacked on top of each other.

The load rocked from side to side and looked dangerously close to toppling over as the truck went through Thanet.

One driver said it went so fast the wheels appeared to lift off the ground as it shot over two roundabouts.

Duncan Pout, 37, who filmed the frightening footage, said: "I followed it round the first roundabout and it went over that far the tyres were off the ground.

"I decided to video just in case it was a You've Been Framed sketch".

He posted the shocking video on Facebook where Matt Hurley commented: "Plain right dangerous. Both driver and company should be fined."

Kristian Toogood added: "That's insane, looks like the car on the roundabout had a lucky escape!"

Jade Wallis said: "The top skip shouldn't have even been allowed on. If that falls off then it could have caused a hell of bad things!"

Mario Campion, 57, who runs A-Skip4U, defended his driver - but said he would tell him not to stack the skips so high in future.

And he even accused the motorist who filmed the footage of dangerous driving.

He said: "It looks high, and I've instructed the worker driving the lorry not to stack it that high again, but it does not exceed the legal weight or height limit.

"We use a compressor to push the waste so the skip on top can squash in.

"In this case it was bulky wood which does not compress, but he put all three on there anyway so the skips were stacked higher.

"There were also four chains pulling the skips down."

He added: "No wheels came off the ground.

"He could have been going a bit slower around the roundabout but air suspension stops too much tipping and the skips were hydraulically chained and pulled down.

"The person who took the video ought to think about his own actions. He was using a mobile phone at the wheel which is dangerous.

"I've been running this business since 1984 and never had a lorry tip over."

A Kent Police spokesman said no one had reported the incident and they were not proactively investigating.
