In a country with plenty of dodgy roads and absolutely no motorways, the phrase “highway maintenance” is a bit of a misnomer.

Add in a trail of sand dropped all along the outside lane of Regional Road, and the irony of seeing “highway maintenance” emblazoned on the back of a local truck is complete.

This rickety vehicle was caught on camera on Tuesday afternoon by a Times of Malta reader who was dismayed to see it leave sand on local tarmac as it sped down the central thoroughfare - on the outer lane, no less. 


Times of Malta has sent a copy of this video to local road safety authorities.
