whats the most minor thing you have been pulled for
Got pulled into Sleaford with a load of straw on, the reason given for the pull was that they wanted to know how much the straw weighed. It had been raining for a month or so, so they wanted to know how much it weighed wet. To be fair to them once I had been weighed they let me go. Although he did say that the next 4x2 that came in with a step frame would probably be ■■■■■■■ Lucky for me i was in a 6x2 with a normal flat trailer.
Do you mean most minor thing you’ve been done for/ moaned at as they seem to pull anyone they like I would think? Saw a glut of Luton box vans get it the other day. Obviously van day. I’ve been pulled just because of the company. Unbeknown to me Vehicle insepctorate - as it was then - had a stump on for this company as they delighted in pointing out. VI Fitter let me go on the last pull I had with them in 03 and did me a favour. He checked the wagon, opened up the back saw 2 pallets and said “I’m done and suggest you go before the traffic inspector finishes with that bulker”.

Touch wood not had much dealings with them but if the vosa man is reading this the next time you cut me up on the m18 with no indication or thank you for standing on my breaks to see your number plate opposed to your sun roof. You wont be so lucky next time.
Trying to get the footage from work but have a feeling it could cause more trouble than its worth.
twenty years ago in Wakefield town centre. I got the full going over because I was driving a dirty, knackered looking old Volvo. After nearly 40 mins of exhaustive checks I was given a 7 day prohibition notice because the handbrake housing was loose!
in 30 odd years I’ve been pulled 3 or 4 time all only for weight checks which came along with the normal wheel tapping, tank dipping and in olden times for your CB licence .
other than that nothing.
Once by plod near Sheffield, flags in the window and he only tugged me to explain to a rookie and showed a tacho check etc that was in the early 80’s when coppers wore white hats and drove Rovers

Funnily enough, I overtook one t’other day whilst northwards bound on the M6 coming up to the checkpoint at Carlisle and he flashed me in.
looked 2 inches over length

Probably was hailing you to stop but couldn’t keep up with you to overtake due to being weighed down with all the naughty lorry drivers stuffed inside the child catcher cage they keep in the back of the van
