Apparently if you blast the air horn as you go past they leave you alone as youve obviously done all your checks if the horn works. Try it.
Or if you do the international sign for number 2 and then Gareth hunts invitation to coffee they let you go
In Europe the enforcement agents do not use a vehicle to ■■■■■■ commercial vehicles in to checkpoint Charlie, they lurk around at Peages or toll booths giving you the dagger looks as you approach the barrier to pay or if on a tag , you do not pay.
Customs and the police chose random places, I have seen them in the middle of a roundabout, in the central reservation of a dual carriageway.
They stand in the road to flag you off.
One time, two French Douanes motorbikes escorted me off a motoway with their blue lights on and sirens in to a compound to be X rayed by a mobile X ray machine lorry.
The trailer and cab is checked by sniffer dogs, swabs taken off the steering wheel to check for explosives, you are questioned on which route you took and why, any unusual activity is quizzed.
In bad winter weather, I went over driving times on many times, on the back of the analogue tacho, I wrote the reasons in French, got a tug by the Ministry, he checked for every item needed for Adr kit, nothing said on driving hours, no fine.
