It would still be illegal.

 

Hope i dont encourage a derail here, but does anyone know if the law still applies that if your plate is different on the trailer to the truck, but still belongs to the same keeper, its still legal?

 

Used to be so years ago in agric but not sure if it still applies.

Vosa still issues fines if you dont have matching plates, i got done the other day. 30 quid fine.

 

they had to fine me for something as their plan of fining me for the vehicle being overweight didnt work. defender 110 and ifor lm166 weighed 3250 on the quarry weighbridge, 2000kgs was then added and distributed along the floor, got the weigh loader ticket from the loading shovel then was weighed coming out 5250kgs. all the paperwork to prove. Vosa stopped me down the road weighed each axle on their scales, calculated the totals then proceeded to tell me the GTW was too much??!!! HOW??!!!!

Thanks to the paperwork from the quarry as well as me going on the internet on my i phone and showing the officers what the capacities were from the manufacturers websites i was allowed to go on my way............only an hour late :mad1:
