He was empty so was probably under 18t, but the MGW was well over 18t.

Which bit don’t you understand chap?
Not having a go but it’s something you need to know for your own good if you are lorryist and it can seem confusing.

Not sure if thats aimed at me, but anyway, I know the regulations and so does my mate. He is not (nor am I) disputing the ins and outs of what is MGW or what is the laden weight or unladen weight etc etc. Being lorryists we fully understand the rules, just on occasions break them…oops!! :unamused:

He and I both know that what he did is wrong and will attract a fine/punishment if caug

If I could re-quote the original question.

The questions are,

Do all traffic enforcement cameras have a flash? or do they just film everything that ventures through/over the restricted section?

If a penalty notice was to appear then what is he looking at? Fine or Fine and points or a more finger licking good arse kicking?

Nooooooooo,it wasn’t aimed at you,that’s why I quoted Sweetleaf,and I wasn’t having a go at him either.I was just saying in a roundabout and hopefully nice way to ask if he doesn’t know.
Guess I need to be more direct.
Apologies for the confusion.

Dito, :smiley:

Ayup,I just though that he answered his own question :wink: Thanks for the offer to explain to me,it would be wasted on me as Im retired now,but I hope you can help others with your knowledge. cheers Joe. p.s. I did know about the weight thing. :slight_smile:

So no one has an answer to my questions? Ok, thanks anyway.

More than likely CCTV if anything at all. I’ve been done for cutting across the end of a bus lane where it becomes a left turn lane, and for blocking a box junction when about 2’ of the rear of the trailer was overhanging as I’dnot quite cleared all the way after waiting ages to cross it. Wrote a letter and got away with it.

I’d imagine it would depend on if it was covered by CCTV and how sharp the operator was.
