I’ve been pulled there too. They have a ‘weigh in motion’ trap there.

No,  I got pulled off the M6 north of Birmingham in a Police/Vosa check with a Disco and IFW 10 foot box trailer,   they said 35 miles if on buisness ( I sell and deliver stoves and cookers)  That was about 2014 time though hence I figured maybe things have changed.  My brothers are farmers and pull bigger cattle trailers with no tacho as they are exempt.

It used to be 50kms/35miles till 2013 but as you were delivering goods  that exemption would not have applied. The dealer that delivered our chippers was caught and had to fit a tacho to his discovery.

My local mower retailer got fined £2.5k for delivering mowers on a twin axle trailer pulled by a 4 door pick up without tacho.

When I 'visited' you drove slowly over a set of rollers,  but my axles on the trailer were to close together for them to get a reading.  Once I told them I only had 400 kg on board they lost interest saying 'we can see by the springs you are not overloaded'.

It used to be 50km radius now its 100km.

 

However if you carry other peoples goods tacho is needed as soon as you move in most cases.

I am very doubtful that it is easy to just declare a vehicle as "agri " spec ...also you are not using it for agriculture ......Arb and Forestry are quite different !  definitely so as far as red diesel is concerned !!!

We used to fill the chipper with red until the garage with the pump closed in Westbourn .

Do you now since May 2018 need to test fast tractors?  our version of VOSA which wouldn't be far behind the aforementioned
