Truck stop and the law

The policr may not attend. Your in affect trespassing. No specific offences have occured. They may attend if there is a breach of the peace. Cant see em coming myself, not based on what you’ve said. If my experience anyway.

Then again…

As for duty of care?? Wouldnt have thought so bud.

I’m the truck on the left of the image

I hope your an early riser , so you can move and let those on your left out in the morning :wink: .
If not - your gonna get a knock on the cab door buddy.
Best get some kip now :grimacing:

Looking at your image you are limiting the space for others to get out. There appears to be space at the back so use it.

If you blocked me in, you would be getting a bang on the door when I was leaving.

As for legalities, it’s private land and they don’t have to allow you on. Tacho rules state you MUST park up at the next available place - get the plods to sign a printout and move on if required.

Get a free shower while you’re there :wink:

leeyarnold:
I understand it’s private property but they also have a duty of care.

Please tell me you’re not saying that seriously? If you are I have to say, and I don’t mean too much offence, you’re a bit dim.

Get real lee please !

You guys were right police moved me on. But I refused to go unless they signed my tacho.

Whole load of grief ! for what ?

Trespass is a civil offence, so assuming you aren’t breaching the peace, or damaging anything, the police can’t do anything really.

That said, it’s up to the landowner who he wants on his land. By the time Dixon turns up you’ll be good to go :laughing:

And did they sign it ?

I reckon you could probably still get done for tachograph infringements because you knew you was parking illegally when you stopped so could expect to be moved on.

Also, apropos of nothing, :laughing: , if you take (not mug) something of someone’s, excluding their car, and promise to return it within a specific timeframe, there is nothing the police can do :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue: .

I can “borrow” your lawnmower, and assuming I dont damage it, promise to return it in say two days, and there is nothing you can do about it!

Scary eh :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes they signed it. I phoned them up on the way and they said there was space. No I’m not dim far from it. All I wanted to do was park safely is that too much to ask. I wasn’t blocking anyone as you can see. I won’t be going there again. Police said he could arrange to have me towed even if I was in the truck

if things had’nt changed and you got clamped the police would’nt of got involved saying it was a civil matter but they bloody will now though :imp:

That space had a rigid in it. I’d gladly moved if needed.

As you won’t be able to start at 05:15 now I’m heading from home to go to work at about 06:00 I could give you a knock if you like. I’ll be heading home again after work at 07:20 if you want a later alarm call. :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Your probably parked in one of three places all within a couple of miles of my house.

Yeah that would be great thanks lol

Was it all really worth it given how much time was involved and the fact you will need to start a couple of hours later in the morning than planned and the affect that could have on tomorrow’s plans?.
