Police Interceptors C5

Very Good of C5 to show the reg no of Lincolnshire’s unmarked Scania V8, KN13 UBL.

They stopped a Hungarian driver, and he was fined for reading a book whilst driving, and having the shelf unit in his windscreen which they say obstructs his view

Was surprised to see him fined for the dash table, I see loads of lorrys with them. Maybe they wanted to make an example of him for the cameras but it seem a bit harsh.

They ought to go after that Angus Nairn bloke, look at the crap he’s got obstructing his windscreen. :wink:

Your not even legally allowed a sat nav on the screen but people get away with it

No hours offences or mechanical defects,well done drive.

From the looks of it the PC wanted to just get him to move it but VOSA wanted the fixed ticket

You can have a sat nav. Just not in the “swept area”, mine sits nicely in the corner and out of range of my wipers.

Well if you pull down the sun visor on most trucks it is in the wiper sweep,I also had a man tga and it had a factory fitted mini table on the Dash that was well in the wet sweep…
So how can it be illegal if a manufacturer fits them?..

that copper was a propper ■■■■■■■ was seen lookin at a map and had a table ,big wow :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

mr.vosa at beattock pulled me in , checked over the truck , all was first class he says …he gets up on the step and tells me there is something on my dash which shdnt be there , i will just have a walk round your trailer driver and when i get back the item better not be there says he …yip the centre table …ripped it out and never put it back in , mr.vosa comes back and tells me i have just saved myself 100 quid fine and a possible 3 points …stevens of wick truck next to me , he said he had just been fined 150 quid for centre and passenger side tables…but after taking it out i was very surprised the amount of blind spot it was causing…

You’ve answered your own question in the final sentence. If it is manufacture fitted then its legal.

I think the rules state that you are allowed 90mm of intrusion into the swept area…seem to remember that from somewhere {scratches head}…
