Dont think VOSA thought so, seeing as they have put a bike lock around it’s wheels.

Trailer itself looks like its ready for teh scrap heap as well… Air bags look wrecked the way it sits right down…? Southern Irish according to the yellow HI VIZ stickers on teh side.

Probably off to Africa, where it will look luxurious!

Yes, its got PULL MEEEEE written all over it :grimacing: although the way it sits down could because its one those ex dual ride height low rider tilts, still looks a heap though, someones gonna have fun unloading and reloading that lot :grimacing: Saw a guy in a layby on the A66 with a stack of 5 trailers all welded together probably en route to Tilbury or such like, one of the wheels of the bottom trailer was smoking away and had an alarming lean on it :open_mouth: , looked like the hub bearing had gone, mmmmmm…nice :confused:

You mean to say tipper drivers are renowned for breaking speeds limits and rushing about, often intimidating other road users on a regular basis?..I hope you have facts to back up these obvious fictional claims… :wink:

Would they be the same tipper drivers who obviously will be taking their trucks to the garage to get the limiter looked at :wink:

was it actually vosa who put the chain around the wheels? as it could ov been the driver who had nipped home for a bit, if its strapped down enough then i would deem it safe !

It doesn’t look so bad, might need a couple or three more straps but I would take it the dock
