i wonder how many drivers in the real world would be quite happy securing a wee ladder to the back of the cab with a bungee strap.
looks like just another overkill ott nit picking jobsworth deal again

Typical truck drivers attitude. The law doesn’t apply to us, this is how we always do it.
Why!!,
Just beggars belief doesn’t it?

ESDAL…tut

Can’t see from the second vehicle, but the first one looks like a foreigner to me, based on the character visible on the partially obscured number plate. If so, they probably figured the law really didn’t apply to them :unamused:

He wasn’t a foreigner…it was a UK truck. At least he had an ■■■■■■, had notified and had markers and lights… of a fashion, at the very least. Unlike the tool with the cruiser on who probably thought the old bill wouldn’t notice he had an ab load on■■?
