Old 3x2 pressed concrete flags load strength 2 ton ?

[DIWHY]

After another idiot concrete delivery truck driver has drove onto my flags and cracked them all, I asked him, didn't you know they only take 2 ton load, whats your truck weigh ? he knew nothing about anything, no surprise.
I was taught that an old style pressed concrete flag on a good base would take 2 ton, any takers.

That, depends entirely on the base under the slab.

Yep, crap sub-base blame whoever installed the paving not the driver.

Sounds like absolute nonsense tbh. If the base under it doesn't move, it will need a huge weight to crush or damage the paver. Many times I've had a pallet of blocks lifted off a HIAB to about 3m away, with the rear support leg on a small rubber pad, on my paved drive, and no issues at all.

As said, it all depends what's underneath, have solid granite rock and a layer of polythene could take a 40 tonne load.
