Proposed new VOSA checkpoint A14 Suffolk.

[Alycidon]

In my days in the heavy goods industry I have seen some very dodgy things pulled off the M1. One trailer fully loaded with no brake shoes within the drums, a trailer axle only attached by the weight of the load above it. A 28 ton trailer load of Cyanide powder within 45 gal drums, unsheeted in the rain !!., one hell of a flap when a wheel bearing failed on the trailer.

 

But the chances of getting a fine paid by a continental operator are remote, hence they dont seem to bother through road work speed cameras.

 

I have at least 3 VOSA set ups within 10 miles, Kettering, Crick and Weedon yet have only ever been pulled by one north of Birmingham on the M6.

 

Somebody commented about also keeping written records, is that of time driving or time actually worked including time not driving ?.

 

Thanks

Both, to record compliance with working time directive if applicable, and also to show you are getting the appropriate daily, weekly, and fort nightly rest periods.

The thing I don't get about this new site is there is a checkpoint about 12 miles up the A14 at Risby, unless there are plans to close the Risby site.

I thought you only needed records or a techno if you were vent wrong more than 100k of your base? That's what I got from the gov website. Any input on this?

Theres one on the A14 near kettering too

 

I've never see anyone pulled in there though and our yard is about a mile from It

 

They do sometimes hang around on slip roads, possibly napping
