Load Restraint and EN12642-XL

bald bloke:
I have heard that the dvsa are a bit more lenient when it comes to XL12642 trailers and I can’t see them checking for gaps of 80mm and it sounds like you’ll have enough restraints as it is.

Fair point, but I’d like to know where we stand legally. DVSA may be lenient on a spot check, but what about worse case scenario where there’s an accident investigating?

I’d really like to know what’s legally required as I don’t believe the company have a bloody clue. They seem to think that as it’s an XL trailer, then anything goes!
