Wtd Question

F-reds:
Do you think that operator would have spent 8 months in jail and lost his operators CPC if it was only WTD compliance problems??

I doubt it.

While I would never suggest ignoring the WTD, if you are breaking the 6 hour rule its only really through laziness or stupidity, or you like working too much…

Where in my post did I say it was?

It was also drivers hrs but combined with WTD.

I know the operator very well so I know it was only those two things.

Admittedly it was over quite a period of time but never the less the WTD issue was obviously a big part of it!

So the example is worthless then. The question is about WTD, your issue with ROG’s response was WTD related, so why use an example that includes far more serious offences that are viewed far more dimly by those in authority? It just clouds the issue.

How the hell is it worthless?

My point is if they are going to look at you for anything they will also look at WTD. Rog is saying to ignore it because no action will be taken. I’ve given an example where action was taken. So how the hell is the example worthless?

Still this comes from a bloke who answered a question the other week about 7.5 ton weight limits. His answer being that it’s ok to enter one but you must take the shortest route once in it!!!

Then in another post told us he’s also a transport manager CPC holder!

VOSA will never be out of work with people like you about will they!

I think in your example they are throwing it in the mix like a burglary that ends in murder. You get done for murder and they throw burglary in just to add another couple of years.

Because your example is like saying, “I know a guy that went to prison for swearing at a policeman, oh yeah he also raped the policeman’s mum…”

ROG:
Do not worry too much about WTD because, apart from some companies having internal rules, nobody is bothered

Great advice there yet again Rog , until someone has an accident and someone gets canned for not having the required rest breaks .

I’ve mentioned this before to the same person!! Shouldn’t really encourage folks to break the law even though it’s never really enforced.

My example is telling you they Will NOT ignore it and WILL take enforcement action on it if the rules are broken.

Rog is saying they won’t and to ignore it which is false.

It really is that simple.

Still don’t take my word for it folks. I’ll tell you what F Reds put your money where your mouth is. Ring up the DVSA on Monday and ask them do you need to stick to the rules of the WTD and ask them if you don’t what will happen to you.

Then you can report back on here and tell us all.

I’ll look forward to your post on Monday .

I don’t think anyone (except you :unamused:) is saying they will ignore WTD infringements, you’re just being a big fanny trying to make it something it’s not. Yes if (in your example) there are other things that have WTD infringement on top of other infringements it will be treated in a dim view, but like yourself, it’s just a dim view… So stop trying to knot your knickers and make this something it’s not! The real crutch of the matter (yes knickers again) is the other infringements, and WTD isn’t going to help…

I have to ask, but when you masterbate, do you think of a stunning young lady? Or just yourself lubricating a 5th wheel? :open_mouth:

Guess you mis read that bit :wink:

Your example is still nothing to do with either the question or ROGs response.

I don’t greace any 5th wheel evil I’ve got people like you working under me to do it for me.

However going back to the top of the post when I said about the cr#p that gets written on this site you were actually at the top of my thinking list.

You might think your funny with your stupid posts encouraged by some of your followers on here but to me you are just a first class pri##.

Been in the game two seconds and constantly giving advise as if you’ve been doing it for years and Making out you actually know what your talking about.

You’re nothing but a key board warrior.

As for me getting worked up, I just can’t put up with fools and will always give my opinion when I feel someone is talking total bull. I guess that’s why I dislike you so much really because that’s all you ever do.

Don’t worry pal, I also think you’re the most up your own arse prick on here! :grimacing:

You are good value I must say!

If I were bothered I could post an amusing quote were E8B corrects something that you put in the newbie forum about the WTD :wink:

Do make your mind up! It’s only taken you three hours to go from

I’ve got to the stage where I have read so many made up and totally bull sh#t answers on this whole site that I can’t even be bothered to respond anymore!

That would be this pal: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=140214

There is no such thing as the 9 hour rule! :wink:
Just as ROG has already told you, you need 30 mins if you work between 6 or 9 hours. when you take it is up to you…
Not looking such as smart arse prick now are you ya self righteous ■■■■? :grimacing:

Fail to see where I said it was.

I pointed out the rules and said what they were.

I don’t think I’ll be taking any advise on anything from you pair in the near future!

It’s a shame F Reds doesn’t want to expand on why he was advising people that you can ignore a 7.5 ton weight limit as long you use the shortest route!

The only thing I might be guilty of is writing it down wrong but I’m not a qualified key board warrior like trucknets number 1 agency guy on here!

Firstly I am not the best one to give advice on driver hours, wtd and all the rest of such bull crap,as I aint really interested, even though I stick to the former category of rules, rather than the latter.

The only wtd thing I carry out is the 15 min in 6 hr thing, and that is not done conciously, it is just the way it works out as I take my breaks in complying with driver hours regs.

The wtd is a complete sham, embellished with the poa farce to make it look on the surface that we are not working ridiculous hours, even though in reality we still are…aka confidence trick/ cop out.
This is illustrated by the fact that nobody has been actually hammered in offence terms (afaik anyway) for not strictly adhering to it to the letter of the actual ‘wtd law’ apart from in addition to drivers hours infringemenas already stated.

When you think about it the DVSA could make a fortune out of it if they took it as seriously as E8b’s bezzy mate :smiley: but the fact that they do not, illustrates my point.

But the larger companies such as mine take the WTD seriously and if I continually had these type of infringement’s it would possibly lead to some extra training and possible disciplinary action, I’m sure there are lots of smaller firms out there who perhaps turn a blind eye to it.
