The matrix signs are a waste of time yesterday on the M4 it was stating “Gritting in progress” and… this excuse about it been too cold for the salt is total tosh,How does the rest of Europe manage then?They have made a big deal this week abot half the fleet is nice and new as though that is the answer,why dont they go and ask the Germans how to it Right the 1st time.

Them signs are put up by our National control centre, you’d be suprised at the amount of people who aren’t! Please dont paint all HATOs with the same brush, I couldn’t give a toss what you put on your vehicle as long as it keeps you moving. Telling you off is down to the police and VOSA, not me, life’s too short to worry about petty things like the legality of snow chains in snow.

Exactly the way, if a vehicle is blocking the road and carrying snow chains, fit them or at least turn a blind eye.
In order to keep these internet forums tidy The Stobart Group are taking the Highways Agency over to keep the complaints and moans in one easy to locate thread 
The current rumour is the British Transport Police is taking us over.
The (fairly new) matrix boards along the A40 near Oxford tend to tell you pointless messages about the Park and Rides, military funeral corteges (these don’t even use the A40 except for a short run to the Marston Flyover for the JR Hospital), dark nights-watch for cyclists (I would if they used lights). Why they never warn you of A34/M40 delays God knows…
Are you ready for winter well yes i am but so far i have seen two gritters on the back of a recovey truck (not the same truck at the same time) so they should ask them self are they ready for winter.

Look on the bright side virtually all the delays and pictures i’ve seen on the travel news have been caused by a jacknifed truck 
Not fit for purpose the lot of 'em
Let’s hope they’re not all subbies/OD’s etc going to any length just to show Stobbies who’s best whatever the conditions to do that load

listen ive nothing against hatos but feel the investment made in setting up this division of the h a is a waste of tax payers money surely the money would have been better spent seeing you guys sitting at all uk ports collecting some kind of road tax of every foreign vehicle that comes of a boat or train entering the uk it would be a simple solution to the problem of foreign trucks not paying there way on uk roads soon as a truck comes of boat u guys collect payment in cash or card for number of days that truck should be in uk if when?the truck returns to dock if over the number of days the driver should pay more or not allowed on dock simple soultion perhaps vosa could help you think of the founds that could be raised instead of money thats spent on you guys it could be called the HIGHWAYS ROBBERY DIVISION
I’d certainly have the right user name then wouldn’t I? “Stand and Deliver!”

Ok maybe it could be spent on ‘quoting’ lessons for you 
I do despair at some countries, an inward looking society teaching their children a ‘dead’ language and narrowing their future prospects into a more introspective life rather than looking to the wider world with great opportunity 
, oh well think of their heritage because that’s all they will have

good idea but it would never happen perhaps they should get all the immigrants over here to collected money of the foreign trucks coming in
