Please tell more.  Can I ask how you proved your trailer was less than 1020kg and why you were exempted.

 

A teflon coated manager caused one of our subbies to  do something he shouldn't have, because the subby failed to indicate when he joined a dual carriageway the copper pulled him. Then he  realised  there was more than one contravention and started  seeing what else the lad could be charged with. An interesting one was driving with a trailer with defective brakes, there was nothing wrong with the brakes but the subby had failed to connect the breakaway cable (as he was only intending to drive to the next layby a few hundred yards further on).

 

He then decided to go for the company with the O licence requirement (we had one but obviously not displayed in the window of the transit).

 

I took the unladen trailer to the council weighbridge, photographed it and had the manager sign the weigh ticket with all the trailer details.

 

It went to court and our barrister submitted the proof and the case against the company was dismissed, the book was thrown at the subby and I never saw him again.
