I would ban the lot ,it is 2012 a min of 3 star accomodation ,sleeper cab one night a week in emergancy only.Lets face it it does look a daft idea but it is no dafter than the wtd ,and loads more to many to mantion.
The country ain’t big enough for nights out 
Must have a night heater in Germany or the Police will put you in a hotel and bill the firm for it.
Good for the father land.

Is it national troll month
It is, but you may be pleased to know that after this one the next doesn’t begin until 01/02/2012.
I hope this helps.
Thanks mate, at least I get a 0 second break from it all 
Bum ! Does that mean my peice of ply and foam is obsolete in my Guy Big J4T
Snowmonster:
Hi…Can anyone tell me if there are any legal restrictions to sleeper cabs?
Someone told me that you can only class your daily rest in a sleeper cab if your are able to stand up in it…
Is this correct?
Thanks for your time…
Snowmonster
I can stand up in my day cab-just! And lie down between the seats and sleep; Don’t tell Smiths ffs 
On a serious note, is it legal to sleep across the seats in a day cab, I mean from a daily rest perspective? Does the law require that a bunk must be fitted in the same way that the law on ferry breaks requires that the driver has access to a bunk or couchette?
Or am I totally wrong on all of the above?
I want to know if it’s legal for the wife to pinch the bloody duvet whilst on daily rest?
Can we have a MMTM ignore those storys sticky or will that detract from the laughs?

Yep, must have a bunk and be stationary.

Doesn’t have to have a bunk, just suitable sleeping facilities for each driver. A hammock would probably be deemed suitable and one member on here used to do just that, he posted pictures of it way back when. Might be more tricky claiming that a lump of ply and a bit of foam was suitable, unless you could show them that’s what you slept on at home.

Might as well be at the moment, because the wife has ■■■■■■ off to bed with the hump over something.

I remember some years ago braking down at Haggerston on the A 1. the fitter came out out & put two pistons and liners in in the lay byeb by the time we were finished it was 11.Oclock at night, no digs , so I cabbed it, the next thing I new the Police woke me up and said I was breaking the law by sleeping in the cab, I exlained the situation, but It was like talking to a brick wall, I was still foul of the law, So I draped my drip sheet over the head board rolled my main sheet out and slept on the back of my wagon, which in the eyes of the law was legal, It was bloody freezing cold. I was glad to get back in the cab and get fired up and on my way and put the heater on. I thought to myself the law might have been a bit helpful but they didnt have to sleep anyware but their bed, and I dont think they would be much better to-day in similar situations. Regards Larry.

Can you imagine trying to change pistons and liners in a layby now,it takes half a day to get behind some headlights to change a bulb.
You should have set fire to your log book to keep warm Larry
Are wellnow fitters wouldnt be allowed to do that I t would breach H & S regulations the wagon would have to be towed to their workshop, but mind you I dont think there will be many fitters about t hat would or could perform such a task these days, the fitter that did this job was a real hands on bloke he only replaced parts if he couldnt mend them, he even made a liner puller out of a halfshaft out of an old Bedford axle, he also made lots of tools for awkward jobs, sadley to he passed away some years ago aged 90.
