Bet you don't enjoy it as much as me, when I see a thread with VOSA in it and then along comes treequip to put the forum to rights.

Knew that was coming "how would you feel if your family was injured" why did you not just say killed, what a stupid question.

Jesus Christ we are getting it now, WITHOUT PREDIDICE think you will find lad it without prejudice. We are not passing legal correspondence. Don't understand you found that you needed to start with that but anyway. I know about fine as I have owned and drove commercial vehicles for over 13 years. It's not hard to stay within the law, well seen you fix them and don't drive them. As far as the air leak go's I don't know how bad but it was moving so how bad could have been. It had started leaking that morning. Some of them are not just picky they go far over what is reasonable to resolve most problems. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

See you had nothing to say about my point on weight. I am not making assumptions your telling us that you get stopped twice a year and if you look tidy and things are kept good your in and out in no time. Make your mind up... You have been found out of being the lover of the VOSA but now your going say you have had GV9 due to sloppy operating

Yes your right I do dislike authority especially in the UK as they take it to the extreme in most cases, and rarely use discretion. As for muppets taking stuff off to get down to weight. I have been in that position you wouldn't know anything about that but because you are the knight of the road. If you get loaded but you are 650kg over on an axle how would you know that. And before you say you should have went to a weighbridge. What if you have and have a weight ticket to prove you have and you where under your gross weight. Not all weighbridges are dynamic.

Or a better one when comes number plates is, its not a standard plate the spacing is wrong there's a £60 fine. I ask for what reason must it be standard there answer so cameras can pick it up. I explain I have been caught on a speed camera with that rear plate on. They shrugg there shoulders and walk away, it not because of the reasons they say it's because they can and do whatever they want. Very few operators argue there cases in court and that's because there made to feel there been cut some slack by being given a fine and left to carry on. For anyone who buy or reads commercial motor it is full of operators having there licences revoked due to cases against them. So we can all sleep safe tonight knowing VOSA is there to protect us.

There will always be aholes on the road VOSA won't stop them. And if everyone run 100% legal do you think VOSA would decrease? I think not. You make it sound that VOSA are great guys who are saving us from the evil dodgy operator. The fact is that if you operate lorries at a commercial level they make it harder and harder to stay within the law. With there employees who think that there policemen and over the top on the spot fines. It's a joke am all for safe road but we have them, try driving in other European country's and you see the difference. My best mate had an air leak on the trailer in Poole last week got stopped and was given 3 points and a £150, some of the fine was for not have a finishing date on a previous card. Why not instruct the driver to driver to a repair centre which he had to do anyway. The answer, because they act like tax collectors. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

Knew it wouldn't take long to treequip the VOSA fan put us all right. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

No you won't find anything on it yet, like every other rule change meant to know. As they like to tell you fining ignorance is no excuse. It is great how they can write to you to tell you your tax is due but, and before someone posts saying "but that's not VOSA" it's the other cheek of the same arse.

Heavy rain today mild but pouring down.

Yes happened for the last 4 days but it's better today, I mentioned it in the iPad thread thought it was the update on it was causing it. Would say it is fixed now but, as it hasn't happened to me tonight and I have been logged in and out since 5pm with no problems.

I know a trainer/assessor who's 23 years old and has every ticket and I would say he is the youngest in the country at it. I see posts all the time saying should be at it longer before considering applying to be trainers/assessors positions. I also know men thats been in this trade for years and couldn't climb to bed but can talk a good job. It's not length of time served it's how well you have served your time.

That's the only way to work them, company's like that just want a bunch of zombie yes men. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

140 bhp and good tyres you would be surprised, if she can pull 3 ton up a hill she will move a drop of snow. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk -

Was thinking of doing the same with my shogun, did you buy one or did someone make it? Have you any pictures Robert? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk -
Andy that's the problem but company's make people do things just because they can. It's not that it helps the business nor h&s it's just wear it do because you have to. And we feel because they pay our wages that it is best to say nothing in fear of rocking the boat. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

Well that would change things, but if you say you don't feel comfortable or confident wearing them and working the saw, can't see how they could force you to wear them. Somebody will know better than as am not 100% sure when it comes to mewp. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
-
You don't have to wear gloves up a tree top handle or rear handle, can't see why it would be any different on a mewp. And anyway do your own risk assessment, and decide yourself what's safe. Or is someone telling you what to do and your not sure? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

Dry but very gusty ground is still very wet though.

Got a 2 a few months ago new with 32gb and just wifi, I like it have always been a long time apple fanboy so it adds to my iMac iPhone 4 and apple tv. Great battery for browsing the net, but have noticed since the new firmware update it doesn't like to delete stuff while typing on arbtalk, and it fails to log in every time. All in all it's good just but the only way to buy it is one of payment there over priced is it is and there ripping you clean off when you go down the contract route.

It was a good card and yes Nelson is no mug, I think he will cause a few problems in that weight class. And talking of weight he has lost a fair pile of it. I have always been a fan of penn but he never seemed to live up to the prodigy name, he never held on to a belt for more than 3 fights. And it looked to me that he lost the love for the sport. As I said before Robert I always liked Diaz, would like to see him knock GSP off his perch but that won't be easy with his strong wrestling and crazy fitness.
