Overloaded

[waterbuoy]

Have done likewise (but removed matching wheel from other side of axle) - surely it depends on what the actual load on the axle is vs the rated capacity per axle?

I have spoke to someone who was tasked with moving a piece of equipment on a tri axle trailer. 10 mins into his journey, the back axle gave up, and having parked in a layby with a load of travellers , he decided not the best place to leave it. So he removed bothe rear wheels, and continued on his 90 mile journey without furthe issue.

Hi load weighed in at  nearly 7 tons!!

The tail board was there when I left officer, the lights and number plate were all on the tail board and in good working order, we checked the lights before I left the yard honest ‘guv

That's as may be Sir, but I'm afraid you're not in your yard now are you. You are currently on a public highway. Furthermore I am witness to the fact you are acting otherwise in accordance of the Road Traffic Act.

Also, your vehicle will be seized.

 

Is there anyone you know that could give you a lift home Sir?
