Pan along large articulated lorry, a Scammell 100-ton Tractor (Marston Road Services) which is carrying a large metal ship's rudder. It is parked in the street and people are looking at the cargo. High angle shot of lorry towing rudder. Back view of lorry. A man is standing on a running board at the back. A sign on the lorry reads: “You are behind the World's Largest Lorry - Please Drive Carefully.“ The lorry turns a corner, the man on the back appears to be steering the rear wheels. The vehicle carries on its journey, a few children are walking alongside as the lorry is moving fairly slowly.
