It could have been the final straw for police in Derbyshire when a lorry carrying bales got stuck under a bridge.
Officers were called to the A6 Buxton Road, near Whaley Bridge, just after 13:20 and found traffic stacked behind the obstruction.
The busy route had to be closed completely for about 30 minutes while the load was removed.
The road fully reopened at 16:15 but officers said they were not looking forward to "ploughing through the paperwork".
