there is no exempt, I gave an example ages ago the girl who took her pony to horse trials didn't need a tacho to get there but got placed 3rd or something won a tenner and got done on the way home because it was for reward.

 

What records do you keep for your tacho?

Print it out every night, and keep them in a file?

That seems very unlikely. Sounds like an urban (or rural!) myth to me.

As you may know I got pulled over by VOSA over tacograph affair in January but because my firewood business is part of an active farm I was exempt and after much chasing I even got £400 back from VOSA for the days they incorrectly prohibited my trailer.

 

My MP, Danny Alexander wrote to Mr Peoples about it and I did even get an apology letter from him!

 

There are some exemptions but you do need to check you whether or not you fall within the categories. If unsure I would contact VOSA to check.

 

For instance if I get a driver to deliver my loads then I would need a taco.

Wow, impressed you got money back.

Did you some sort of legal representative to sort this out?

 

See my problem with VOSA is, one person tells you one thing, and the other person tells you another, and turns out both are wrong, and then its joe blogs here trying to earn a living that gets stung.

 

I run a JCB Fastrac, which VOSA love, so i have had plenty of encounters, and everyone working for VOSA was singing different songs.

 

The other thing i didnt realize, was that they can put a prohibition on your trailer. I thought you needed an operators license before they could prohibit stuff.

They can and do as I had one last month that came in to force if I didn't get the correct tyres fitted within give days
