or a crocadile clip onto the hand throttle! Mind you the rather well known operator I worked
for in the early 90’s had a few motor’s with coffee perculators on the dash! Turn em on & go

There is many a dodge been done with all motors and still is being done but why post it on here■■?

In the late 80’s I ran back from Barcelona to Cherbourg in one hit.
There were 2 hitchhikers with me,no HGV but who cared! A GB licence was good & I drove all the way.
The only problem was when the female dog I lived with, found womens underwear in my truck when I got home!
Happy days.

Had 48 hours off in Oporto,ran on one card,from Oporto to San Sebastian,got a tug on the last peage before France,by the Basque police.I was over hours by quite a lot,the cop must have just left Police training college,as he studied the bad chart,turned to his superior officer,who was busy nicking someone else,and the junior officer told me to leave,with no big fine to pay.Was lucky that night,and card was not doctored in any way.
i ralise a lot of this may something that was done years ago,nevertheless.
i consider vosa and their european counterparts as ruthless bastar*8/
they are probably reading this about what happened in the past
it might be better not to feed the bears regardless of when it hapened.
i would suggest this topic would be better locked.
i hate to sound like a spoilsport,but vosa are dangerous and they speak perfect english.
the rest of europe have interpeters.
Gendarmes used to,and probally still listen to Brits on CB radios,and wait down the road.Most would speak perfect English,and make out they didnt,to start with,as an angry driver swore at ranted off at the Gendarme,and turn around to speak English to the red faced driver,after getting a fine of some sort.
