Not my regular, they have regular bays to be put on for nights upon returning and it somehow got swapped (mines always on 4 but got put on 10 and vice versa) with another and the driver is a Steveski Wonderski :smiley:

This thread is starting to justify why we need the DVSA! :open_mouth:

I’m lucky I don’t have such problems as I drive a rigid and all the tyres are a month old and are micheliens plus truck tyre come around regularly to check them

Wot’s wrong with that first pic’. The steel tends to bite into the tarmac giving you better grip doesn’t it ?

I would say that’s more than just the last user who should have spotted that?

Bloody agency drivers. Hanging out the job with non-defects. “Not taking this out, there’s a marker light out” " not taking this out, the radio doesn’t work (if it’s fitted it must work)"

Here’s one I blew earlier.
Checks done. Drove a few hours then stopped for a 50 min break.
Did a walk round checking all is good to go then 15 min down the road BANG not bad only my 2nd BIG bang in 30 yrs.

Your poor boss. Not only do you take the ■■■■ with 5 minutes extra break but you blow up his valuable precious tyres too. I think he’d be quite within his rights not to pay you today…

:wink: :smiley:
