Could anybody local or with knowledge of the area tell me if caegoody lane at the A528 end has a sign that says 7.5t except for access or just 7.5t. Not gonna argue on my drivers behalf if he shouldnt of been down it as the nice man from the local council has said.
A local householder has reported him, and now i have a letter in wanting his name.
Anyone know what the punishment is, points or just a fine?
Bloody sat navs!!!
Just a fine, have you checked streetview on google maps?
It might have an ‘except for access’ clause, so a delivery note in the area would be most helpfull lol

Yep, it does
To be honest though, most ‘lanes’ are really for 7.5’s MAX unless you’re doing milk or home deliveries etc aren’t they?

Here’s another snapshot along the lane - not sure I’d want my truck down there, fine or no fine.
And blaming a sat nav? Really?? Does the sat nav control which way you go, or just advise a route?
I remember a driver drawing some directions for me once, and I’m not sure if I mis-read them or he used a 7.5t route through, so I ignored them and wrote new directions.
Cheers bud. Im gonna have a go at defending him cos the bloke fi the council was a right stroppy tool, but your right. Wtf was he doing going down there. Phone in the cab. He should used it to phone the mob he was delivering to who are at the other end of that lane but you can get to them via another road. Surely if the bloke from the house hasnt took a photo it would be our word against his but everyone carries a mobile so he likely has a photo. Not really my fight but he is a good bloke and we all make mistakes!!!

Good on ya, wish more TM’s were like that - guessing you’re the TM
Can you not mock some paperwork up? Just a silly idea of course, then post a parcel out as a failed delivery, a nice gift to the farm on the lane or something

Its a mistake easily made tho to be fair.
It states 7.5 except for access but doesn’t state for what distance, how is the driver who is not familiar with the area supposed to know whether his delivery point is inside the restriction or just beyond it,poor sod doesn’t until its too late and he’s then commited an offence 
We have the pod for the co he delivered too and as the last post says you dont know till its too late. Not sure which house grassed him but the forklift driver told my man they are always down complaining. Seems its a regular thing. . Goes to show what your up against nowadays. . . Thanks again.
