M6 at Sandbach, @DVSAEnforcement found the trailer was missing its brake chamber. The brake pipes were ■■■■■■■ with wire.
Upon inspection the missing brake chamber was found in a plastic bag in the vehicles cab!
Vehicle is now prohibited #4390 #RCVU
proper professional hands on driver.
just the sort you would want to employ. shame he fell foul of vostapo in todays snowflake steering wheel attendant world.
Bit of overkill as all his other wheels had brakes…“its just off to the workshop officer, all my other brakes work”.
He’s still got about 80ish tonnes of brake force

Lots of us have cable tied a failed chamber off and carried on to a place of repair, or (empty) done similar for a burst airbag, or even the old chaining up of an axle with a broken spring.
Its not like he’d removed a steer or drive axle chamber which would make for some interesting vehicle behaviour under braking, and its obvious from the clean threads on the pipe fittings this is a very recent failure.

Only crime he committed was not parking up immediately and then getting caught.
Times have changed since the ‘Driver initiative’ days, we are all supposed to be brainwashed now into thinking that driving with a blown bulb is a heinous crime. (And many actually are.)

Done both in the past 6 months, fully intend on doing it again should I need to.
Just more of these clowns trying to look like they do something worthwhile and show off on twitter to to people who don’t have a clue, like doing folk for not strapping insulation. Total non event to a half capable driver, so about 2% of those cutting about now.
I think we’ve all done that one. 
I watched that 89s haulage video posted.
By todays calculations that load shoudlve had 24p ratchet straps over it before even setting off. Never mind the guy at the back steering.
He should be fully cabbed up with windows and airbags.
Nearly had a heart attack watching him hang onto the back of that trailer.
Give it 50 years this country/world will be full of zombies.
I do not see it as a big deal…He was aware of the brake prob.HE took chamber off ,blanked pipes untill it can be fixed.

You mean thinking up, and composing the next thrilling instalment of the ‘‘I saw a crap driver today’’ serial.

I’m assuming he/they aren’t allowed on the internet until their homework is done 
The traffic reports…“Having a tyre changed, so long tailbacks” Will in the next 5 years include “Having a bulb changed, so long tailbacks”…Come back and tell me I was wrong.

Big difference between car and truck tyres .
When the tread wears down on a car there is very little material left until it’s down to the cords . This can lead to overheating and then ruptures and can lead to easier penetrative failures .
Truck tyres can often have the treads recut and usually have this happen twice before the tyre is fully worn out.
I once removed a 50mm long bolt from the tread of my truck , it hadn’t penetrated to the cords of the tyre .

You have to wonder how long it’ll be before using a bit of initiative is a bloody hanging offence.
