Well I've seen some stupid things in my time but

How in the name of jaysus is this stupid thing meant to stop you from driving away :unamused: who the comes up with this ■■■■? Must be an agency elf and safety officer [[/url]
All it done was get dirt inside my cab that I spend a lot of time and effort cleaning :confused:

We use them at our place, at others you used to just get a vor plate in the window. Means you won’t just get in the lorry and drive off when there is clearly a reason for it not to be on the road.

Just get the wipes out on the wheel and job done surely.

Pretty certain they are not designed to stop people from driving away, they are designed to stop drivers taking out VOR trucks out on runs. We use a VOR plate in the windscreen it’s the same difference except this is a little more in your face. I mean there is no grey area where this thing is concerned is there :laughing:

Greggs use these steering wheel covers aswell.

Well yes I can understand if a driver is starting a shift and jumps in and sees that he knows not to move it but I just came in to load there so I knew it was being loaded and they also have a red and green light on the bay’s. If it’s not designed to stop you from driving away, why is there a big padlock on it?

We had those when I worked in a bus depot, was mainly to make drivers aware when someone was working on or underneath a vehicle and we used VOR stickers in the windscreen for defective vehicles.

Has that cover really been padlocked on■■?
Talk about OTT!!!

Yeah I had to padlock it on and leave the keys with the chap that was loading it, even he agreed it was a stupid idea.

No it was Manchester.

What happened to NOT HANDING OVER THE KEYS TO A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT TO BE DRIVEN? Is that too simple for a problem that doesn’t actually exist?

Summat to wipe their bogies on and cough on :grimacing:

It’s just the same as tag out/lock out on factory machinery etc

My brother-in-law got run over by a stupid driver who thought he must have finished changing the trailer tyre because he couldn’t see him. He survived abut it was a close run thing (As Wellington said)

Hi viz steering wheel. Novel

Come to think I recall this on a CPc course. No steering wheels allowed on sites as of next year unless wearing a hi viz. no hi viz, no wheel. You have to take it off, hand to security and grip the steering nut to back on the bay. Makes you look a right ■■■ apparently. True story. Legislation 1.5c.436 or something
