VOSA and Clear diesel vis-a-vis red diesel

[difflock]

VOSA have been very active in the Province this fast months year or so.

First they focussed their attention on the HGV operators.

This past weekend they were busy in Bushmills and Ballymoney pulling Chav's for lowered suspension/tinted windows.

I was informed this morning that they have also "went to town" on a large local Silage Contractor.

Tractors and trailers in top notch condition, BUT the alledgedly "DONE" him/them for running on Red diesel.

Regardless of the Agricultural nature of their work.

They were/are purely operating a Commercial undertaking "for hire or reward"

Therefore must operate on Clear diesel.

See now everyone shouts VOSA but fuel usage is a tax matter and that's down to Her Majesties Customs and Excise (HMCE)

 

I am sure VOSA were there but the fuel thing is HMCE

 

Just saying

[difflock]

Ah Sorry, but since "we" in NI pioneered the "Multi Agency" stop.

Being Police/R&C/VOSA etc etc

(and erm now Revenue and Customs Surely:001_tt2:)

I take it for granted all agencies ud be present.

Dept work and pensions I think. Just in case you forgot not to sign on

Dept work and pensions I think. Just in case you forgot not to sign on

 

More like in case you are signing on or an immigrant on benefits.
