At one time in the UK, it was legal for a man to urinate in public, so long as it occurred on the rear wheel of his vehicle and he had his right hand on the vehicle.
The laws allowing this were the Hackney Carriage Laws, which were repealed in 1976 
how many times have you heard this??

Is there an old rule allowing you to have a dump behind your trailer legs?
This position is sometimes referred to as a “chassis gripper”.

There used to be an old law dating back to when to truckers actually had horses st the front of their truck that allowed them to relieve themselves against the nearside rear wheel. Why nearside I have no idea , as this would be where all the pedestrians were.The myth that this law is still on the statute books has been going around for years.
I got my MP to check into this a few years ago for a bit of a giggle and the reply I got back (on House of commons paper) is that the law was repealed a long time ago.(can’t remember when it said that was).
but there was a case a couple of years ago when a “celebrity” was nicked on the M62 for driving up the hard shoulder whilst in queing traffic. His defence was that he desperatley needed the toilet.
I think that he judge agreed with him and he got away with it but not too sure.
as i recall it was alex ferguson driving down the m602 on the hard shoulder cos he needed to crimp one out desperatly wonder if one of us would have got away with it
One of our machine drivers has a watering can in his van, his missus has been given explicit instructions not to use it to water the garden with.

This is the correct answer. The nearside was stipulated because that’s where you would stand to hold the reins. Traditionally, when driving from the floor you always stand on that side, so you wouldn’t need to walk around the horse/wagon in order to tie it on.
(I know this crap 'cos I used to be a horsedrawn travelling type, living in a barreltop.

I was gullible enough to buy one off him. I should have saved my money and used an empty coke bottle like everyone else does!
Years ago, when I was a drivers mate, used to get driver to pull in to layby so I or the other mate could relieve ourselves against the back wheel. On many an occasion, he’d let the handbrake off, and depending wether you were on a hill, and how much of a hill, could sometimes be caught out and be left p*ssing in the wind, literally.
When we read of all these disgusting habits, ■■■■■■■ on the brakes, engines, through the oil filler and on springs, is there any wonder why fitters wipe a greasy rag round the steering wheel and handles 
If I see someone not trying to be discreet about slashing at the roadside, I’ll blast the horn and hope they spray their hands/clothes/shoes etc 
Works great when someone’s being sick aswell

Our Eastern European friends seem to specialise in this one…

Back in time when us oldies drove F86`s there was a liitle hatch in the engine cover inside the cab fitters were forever complaing about the white deposits covering the engine (salt)
The in cab air ducting heater hose of a Bedford TK was another one I’ve seen used…one driver playing a prank on another…

I’m sure this is part of the myth, the law was only for london hackney carriage drivers, it’s just snowballed to include anyone who drives…
