Black out your side windows with window film you can see out but stops the [zb] from looking in. Just make sure you wind the window down when going for the m.o.t or they will fail it
By law, the tint must allow 70% of ambient light through. That’s not enough to hide your illegal activities.

The fines go straight to the treasury.Perhaps if so many “professional” drivers didn’t break the law, there wouldn’t be so many fines handed out.
And you lot moan about the police. Get your own house in order first?
Fair comment but then “perhaps” they will crackdown on the diesel and load thief’s, ahhhhhhh but that doesn’t earn as much and doesn’t sound as good when in the local press.
Us lorry drivers are the scum of the earth and should be treated as such whilst all those thieving gits are just trying to feed their families.
“Perhaps” you have never woken up in the morning and found an empty tank or stuff missing off your trailer (and that’s when parked in a “safe” place as in msa or truckstop)
Get a life and get real.
How do you propose the police (with very limited resources thanks to government cuts) catch load and diesel thieves then, Mr Expert?
Perhaps if they weren’t ■■■■■■■ with dealing with truck drivers breaking multiple laws, perhaps they could find the time to deal with thieves?

so truck drivers crimes are more important than thieves/rapists/murderers/peado’s (that are living) etc…nah it’s a money machine and gets good press. limited resources should be better utilised , thats all.
And nope im no expert but probably neither are you.

Around £12,000 in fines was handed out through fixed penalty notices.Nice little earner for 5 days work, they must be short of cash this month

We have our own house in order, It’s your lot that keep moving the goalposts.
We were once reprimanded in various ways for serious offences, Then as people started to adhere to the new regime, The authorities invented a whole load of new offences. Well maybe not new offences as such, But what was considered safe enough a few years ago is no longer considered safe now.
Some years ago, If i travelled down a motorway in light traffic and good weather conditions whilst talking on the phone, No one would have said “He’s a dangerous individual and should be taken off the road”. But i would be considered a danger to myself and others nowadays.
EU tachograph legislation wasn’t introduced due to road safety issues, But the police and vosa seem to think it was, as they say you are a danger if you don’t obey it to the letter of the law.
With this talk of “regime” and “authorities”, I think you need to lie down in a darkened room.
In case you forgot, the police don’t make the laws. They only enforce them.
200 coppers = limited resources?

I’ve nothing against the police, my mother works for them after all
But when they’re describing schemes like this as a “huge success” it’s annoying! Of the 200 offences 128 of them were for not wearing a seat belt?!? Come on who hasn’t done thateasy money… And as for fining people for eating and drinking, I don’t care how bright the sun shines out your arse, everyone does it, police included
It is a “huge success” though? They dealt with 200 driving offences?

Your lack of understanding of how the police service is very funny!
Why road Roads Policing officers (the clue is in the name) deal with rapists, paedo’s or murderers?
You’re right, you certainly aren’t any expert.

do these still happen or have they been stopped too? i presume your one of the cmpg officers roadsrat
Well,if the police have such ‘limited resources thanks to government cuts’ ,they seem to be double manning newly bought tractor units all over the place.Here’s a thought though - park up in known curtain slashing/fuel theft hotspots and at least attempt to catch the uncatchables
