Is a truck and trailer reasonable

[Peasgood]

OK so I am wrong on some of that stuff, sorry for that. I did say I wasn't an expert.

 

I am not an expert on the matter by any means. Check with VOSA if you want an official version but even then 3 different VOSA people will give you 3 different answers.

I'm still pretty confident you need a tacho if your trailer takes you over 3.5t gross. As said, there are exemptions and I think the limit is 50km radius of base.

 

As for internet lawyers, I agree. The whole thing is damned confusing and I don't think I am improving things much on that score.

 

Can I just stick with my original comment on the matter and suggest you check the tacho rules properly first.

 

p.s. I'm a farmer so I get even more exemptions

Poor guy only wanted to know if it was a good starter for a business!

 

Only got B licence, towed trailer behind van for nearly 18months!

 

And regularly stick a trailer or chipper behind the nkr loaded to the knackers!

Lots of people do it! And I've not known anyone to have been caught yet... Although you shouldn't wait to be caught!

Each to their own lots of people will do it and get away with it for a lifetime but i know someone who got caught so it definitely does happen. Id suggest to anyone its cheaper to do the test that lasts a lifetime than end up paying fines and having points etc
