Police used to escort wide loads - for a price. But its yet another job, outside of the Police station that they mostly gave up on years ago.

Some loads do ;) depending on the load and local authorities  :y

Well that's fine then.  If a police escort is necessary then they can have that at night as well.  :y

They'd have to book and pay for it in advance for daytime maneuvers, so no different to do it at night.  ;)

Next?  ???  ;D

A large capacity motorcycle would have solved the problem.

Would the Victorian kraut have enough urge to pass anyway?

Actually, Tigger is on to something here. At night the roads are empty. During the day they are clogged up with lorries. So, if lorries were only allowed at night.........

Teleportation is the answer to movement of both goods and people.

Problem solved.

A  little refinement of the process may be required in the early stages.........as with any new technology. :y

By the year 2200 we will each have our own teleportation pod for sending and receiving people and goods. :)

The roads will be empty.

The thing that worries me about teleportation - apart from interference with the "signal" (remember the film "The Fly"?) - is what happens if you have two or more receivers? Can you imagine having multiple STEMOs....... :o :o :o

Not to worry. By the year 2200 STMO will be long gone. As will we all.

Of course, there is the chance somebody will dig him up and use the DNA from his bones to clone him. :-\
