Kids dont tend to go on Caravan holidays though do they, if they do they tend to visit static caravans. Its generally Coffin Dodgers and half of them should not have a license full stop.

I shipped a double Chip Extractor that was 1750mm wide without an issue recently with M&H Carriers. Not only that but the seller had no pallet and refuced to secure to the pallet. So the Driver had to bring a pallet and some shrink wrap and secure the Extractor to a regular europallet, obviously it was hanging over the sides. From Englandshire to Scotland all for £95 plus vat.

I guess there is a number of ways in which you could extrapolate the data. 1, as you suggest. 2, That introducing the BE License and the required training/test did not in fact make any discernable difference to road safety over the last 20 years and therefore was a needless hinderance. If what you suggest was true then Id expect to see a steady decrease in the number of Trailer accidents over the last 20 years as the now older entitlement drivers either died off or retired and stopped using Trailers. From my own experience of using a Trailer over and under 750kg since I past my test in '98 I have yet to see a Trailer accident on the roads or been stopped and inspected. Ive only ever seen one traffic stop by the police pulling Trailers over in all that time. Maybe. Everyone I know who past their test after '98 and tows over 750kg regularly has yet to have an accident or be pulled over. Of course this is purely empirical but in my mind it reflects the bigger picture and perhaps one of the reasons the government changed the rules regarding BE. That being there is no noticeable decline in accidents since BE was introduced and chasing under 40's for towing over 750kg is virtually un-policeable.

That was a very long winded way to say no, there was no discernable decrease in Trailer accidents since the BE was introduced in '97/'98.

Out of interest was there a massive decrease in trailer accidents after ‘97?

You’re quoting a guy that normally signs his name with an X.

Im not an Arb guy either. Justmewhinging’s theory’s falling apart 🤣

It’s not the same Kris that’s on here is it? 🤣

Quite right, but then I’d only get done for being over weight and not for towing without a licence as well. I don’t tow over weight though, so it’s not really an issue. I’d prefer to do two runs and I rarely pick up logs that are over 30 minutes from my house. Now I’ll be able to hire Plant which is handy, as is being insured to tow.

And a licence would not stop that prospect from happening.

You, just you. Everyone else seems quite happy with the prospect. I certainly am. I’ll be a lot safer towing 3.5t after the 15th since I’ll no longer be keeping an eye out for the police. I can fully focus on driving and towing. 😁

Of course you where! 🤣🤣🤣 This is at least the third thread you’ve bitched about this. Your username is quite apt on this subject. It seems like it really is just you that has an issue here.

Dry your eyes and do something else.

You’re just bitter because you’re loosing your ability to fleece people. I passed my test in ‘98. No trailer licence. Never had an issue towing.

About time too!

I might just cut my 6” Beams out the hearts and have nice abs chunky slab wood that I’ll cut and bag up at the end. Will see if I can shift them. If not I’ll just bring them home for my own Stoves.

Logosol makes one and its designed to fit on many Bandsaw Mill Rails. They have the standard and the max for bigger Mills like the B1001 and the HM130 MAX.

They are amazing. Shipping to the U.K. within a week. Someone 2-3 days. I have no idea how they do it. They even have an option to pay the U.K. tax so your parcel comes direct to you, and saves you the dreaded Parcelfarce fee. Just check the depo’s of where your parts come from (A, B, C etc) it can make a huge difference to the shipping cost of there is more than 1-2 depos required. Their parts clearance is amazing deals too. Plus you get s free magnet each time you order. [emoji16]

Cracking Truck! My mates selling a M880. An ex-US Forces converted W200. Wish I had the spare cash right now but don’t. I’ll get one next summer. I assume you use Rockauto for spares?

What a stunning home. Repointing is on my “to do” list as well. Thankfully not to the scale you had to go to.

Link does not show up on the mobile app but does on the web version.

I can see where they’re coming from. A firearm is is used sporadically (unless it’s “in da hood”) and very little emissions produced. Millions of Californians mindlessly mowing their lawns with petrol is hardly fitting with the holier than thou attitude they seem to hold there. Potentially there is the forest fire risk as well.

That’s what I thought too!

£1500????? I’ll buy it as a spare!
