A bit like ■■■■■■■ in the wind putting them rear deflectors on this.

I wonder how you would fare with kit like this deployed if Mr VOSA was having a slow day and decided you were exceeding your length limit for the vehicle?How would they measure it? By the time they’d stopped you and run a tape measure over it the length would be fine… [emoji848]

Good question. I dunno. Might be enough to have dashcam footage of it deployed in motion, then pull the vehicle and measure it.
Looking at the Regs, I’d guess that as they don’t increase the carrying capacity of the outfit, they would be classed as “special equipment or apparatus” so would not be included in the measurement. They would however need to be marked as would any overhanging load of the same size.

Isn’t there something in C&U regs about a maximum distance between rear axle and rear of the vehicle structure? As opposed to the actual load. I confess it’s been a long time since I looked at such regs, and they are prone to being changed anyhow!

If its designed to make it go faster, the truck you saw must`ve been on Irish platesPaddy be lucky to keep up with Primafrio and delchov at the helm.
They have just had delivered 300 new FH to replace 300 DAF, all Portugal registered apart from a smattering of Spanish plates that can drop and pick up from rail heads.
In a previous life called paconsa. How do they get away with it? Loads of Mozambique drivers working for buttons, poor b’strds…
Paddy will struggle to stay with these boys then again are there any paddy’s driving Irish trucks anymore
