My misses just showed me on Facebook new law come in 24 drivers been done in Scotland for having curtain on side of window and pelmets on front is a gv9 offence ,they reckon it obstructing drivers side and front view dvsa sad [zb] spoiling it for drivers again came into force 1/1/19 :unamused: :unamused: :smiling_imp:

Hi John, hardly a โ€˜newโ€™ law, just the DVSA / VOSA enforcing the current requirements of visibility for drivers. We had an MOT failure for a sticker in the windscreen, it was too large apparently, once it was removed, we had a pass, we also got stopped on the M6 going back a good few years ago, driver had a โ€˜dream catcherโ€™ hanging in the windscreen, they put a GV9 on it, and lifted it as soon as the driver removed it ?!!

Hi Simon,
You are 100% correct there mate.A customer of ours had a driver prosecuted for curtains and a dash table in his cab,several years ago now,the Facebook article,relating to the curtain law was a good few years oldโ€ฆ
