Have any of you ever thought about how many of your dreaded VOSA employee’s are actually members of this forum and read your posts about fixing tachos, running bent and breaking laws etc ?
I am willing to bet there are a few so if future think before you post. 
The chances of them targeting anyone individually because of a post they made is ridiculas but on the other hand why post something your boss might find interesting?
You never know who’s lurking about.
Isn’t that right K.A.? 
Who needs to run bent when the regs allow 15 hour days legally anyway.
I know our company monitors trucking forums and Facebook and we have all recieved letters advising us not to make derogatory remarks on line.
I am not saying anyone would actually be targeted but I have no doubt VOSA do take notes so posting about someone else could get there attention.
well i think all vosa folk are just the most amazing and wonderful people who are never given credit for the job that they do , all that ive met are real nice chaps and chapettes , they are you know im not making this up

Do you try to take a sneaky 15 min break at the pumps?

Have you not noticed Pat that “Everyone” on here is whiter than white and anyone that suggests otherwise is vilified beyond any punishment
VOSA has the remit to impose.

Maybe he’ll be a ‘real’ trucker & have his name on a plate in the windscreen - that would do it…
although i can’t prove anything.
i sometimes posted something a bit OTT about dodginess, then i’d get pulled.
another member asked me by private message why i admitted to being up to no good.
i explained that i’ve done it a few times, then got pulled (an experiment if you like). he had noticed something similar after posting some not so legal goings on, but just thought it was a coincidence.
they can’t use it against you, unless you put anything specific like times, dates, addresses, etc.
if they did take things seriously, then some of us would end up employed by vosa as advisers. like the old saying (it takes a thief to catch a thief).
I dont worry about vosa, i dont do enough hours to run bent so its all good…even with the week i didnt run with a card in
Vosa are wonderful. Hang on i gotta nip out and put t magnet on. That’s better where was I ? Oh yeh vosa lovely people , sorry gotta call boss to remind him to pay me for working 7 days last week. Now then vosa great organisation , oops looks like I’m breaking down I guess that’s what happens when you never service the truck. Right I’m off again shouldn’t take long cos limiter don’t work. Anyhow vosa ! Actually I think they are a bunch of clowns !!!
of course they will monitor sites its the same for car clubs when they arrange meets but unless they catch you doing anything illegal then they cant use it against you. mind you i only average working a 3 day week at the most (well thats what my tacho shows in any case ) so no fear of running bent

The Boss doesn’t know who i am.
That why we use Usernames and not real Names

And do 14 hours driving.
VOSA are never a problem, I am regularly stopped at Brenley Corner on the A2 in Kent, the first thing they ask for is my driving licence so I just tuck a £20 note into it before I hand it over for inspection and Hey Presto, thirty seconds later I’m on my way.
