To those who do highway work have you had to do the vehicles in that expensive reflective tape so the public can see one in the dark?

So instead of having one decent service van and renewing it every 3 years I would be better of with two old wreaks with two different tachos.

 

If they are on an OL they will be being inspected regularly, so will not be on the road if they are "wreaks".

this thread seems to of gone mad...... people who dont like legislation, folk who dont seem to want roadworthy vehicles.... on the road?????????? blah blah blah!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

seems as pointless as the builders bag discussion@ firewood that invariably pops up up every now & again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote from moving on newsletter published by VOSA

"Vehicles were mostly prohibited for obstructions in the window – although this has improved dramatically since the introduction of fixed penalties. Speaking of which, around £106,400 in fixed penalties were taken by Leatherhead teams over the last year. Not a bad record for a team of 6 – 7 people."

 

Do you imagine they have competative targets etc between depts?

What is the criteria for obstruction in window? A size, percentage or discretion?!!!!!

Fixed penalties, what a fab idea, " It will cost you X amount for this tree to be removed, but for every dog or cat turd we encounter it will be a fixed penalty of £30. Anybody that gets in our way on the job whether friends or the public, postman £30 per incident. Excellent business model on a level playing field backed by authority.
