Being overweight is so not cool.....until you get done like I did back in 2003 you won't do it again, taken to court after escorted to a weigh bridge to off load the excess then fined £800 and 6 penalty points! The courts take being overweight extremely seriously as it grossly effects your ability to brake efficiently! Don't do it guys it's not worth it trust me!

Thats strange, I was done in in 2003, I was 2ton over on my rear axle, I did not attend court, but wrote to them.

 

I received a total discharged as the driver, my Co was fined £350. Pretty sure points were not an option at the time.

I was pulled on the motorway a few years back.  Police escorted me to weighbridge and was over on back axle plus over train weight.  I was given a choice.  Because the officer was nearing his finish time he told me that he could deal with it and issue an 'on the spot fine' or I could choose to deal with vosa who were operating in the same yard.  He advised taking a fine which I did.

Please ignore the lack of spare wheel and new hitch in last photo. nothing happened. nothing at all.

The pickup looks to be on its arse as well

It gets its share of abuse, not so much since I got the mog, but 315000 miles and still flying it! Great workhorse, personally I think that generation of Toyota was the perfect combination of old school heavy built reliability and modern(ish) refinement. Aiming to bring her to 500k miles! provided no one pulls out in front of me!

Some of those are just downright cruel!

When the dumper doesn’t turn up desperate measures kick in. Not going on the road luckily, just have to pull it off in a field. Must be 8-10t clay? Hope the rover pulls it!

That's not overloaded, the boot's empty and the front seat passenger hasn't got a bucket of clay on their lap.
