I never understand why people want to drive with their curtains half way across the windows anyway! It just makes awkward oblique junctions even worse and for what purpose■■? I’m sorry to those that like the look but I just don’t get it [emoji47]
Sad sad times Rob, but as an oldie, I never had lessons … self-taught…never even got the pleasure of taking a test…but your warning will not make me take down my bull spears, dream catcher, or my flags…even though theyre so worn, i cant tell what country they represent…ha ha …but i did read that report on FB and commented that those who want to hide their identity, ■■■■■■ or otherwise… by drawing their curtains so far forward over the side windows deserved the fine…whether thats the right answer or not i dont know…but have never understood any valid reason for doing so, i think i will see less of them on the road now.
DVSA haven’t got the 2019 super bumper sanction annual manual yet

Things like this will continue to happen, whilst the government keep making departments self funding,
The government are cutting budgets were ever they can, so all departments need to find a revenue stream.
Just look at the passport office, even dentistry is being slowly removed from NHS funding, it’s only going to get worse.
The reason the lad (and the 20 supposedly others fined and given delayed prohibitions) was because the kerbside mirror was partially obscured by the curtain.
the dvsa in central scotland have always been keen on fines, perth and stirling are well known amongst the scottish hauliers to be particularly keen issuing fines on paltry things.
Even if they aren’t in the wiper sweep, those frilly pelmets should lead to a large fine from the Style Police.

Oh, just a quickie; if the authorities are jumping on the restricted side vision being such a safety issue bandwagon are we going to see said authorities prosecuting those driving whilst wearing headgear such as a burqua? Or is that one super heated potato that’s too hot to handle?I have never been stopped while driving in a hoodie, so I doubt it.
I’ve oftentimes wandered why some people drive with a hood over there head, seriously.
So, now is my chance to ask.
Er why, if you don’t mind me asking.

So the VOSA don’t recognise us, obviously. 
If I pulled the curtain across the side window it would be fully drawn to hide the sun or would need to so you couldn’t se my face
Never understood why they do it vision is restricted enough thanks on my lorry & yep I was taught to look down at the blind spot when learning to drive a lorry
BTW FYI lorry = English
truck = American
Is that Perth Australia
I don’t have tassely like some but I have started pulling the top of the curtain across to keep the sun off ,I’d sooner pay the £100 now n then than risk skin cancer .

“LORRY IS the weak-chinned word we use in Britain: looks like “worry”, sounds like “sorry”. Size does not mitigate - on the contrary, the bigger the worse: “heavy lorry”, we sniff, as in “heavy cold”. The proper word, of course, is an emphatic riposte, a defiant clenching of teeth, sounds like something else altogether. So let’s get it said straight away, in all its Anglo-Saxon uncouthness: TRUCK!”

So that’s why they call this forum Lorrynet? 
Oh hang on a minute…
Hope they are also going to do the same with car drivers as well, especially the Micra (other cars are Available) drivers with iPads glued in the middle of their screens.

Sorry but it’s always going to be a lorry to me, I can’t be doing with these new fangled Americanisms destroying the English language

What’s maybe ■■■■■■■ them off is the fact they can’t see you drinking your coffee when the ■■■■ s run alongside you in a unit pointing their camera at you. 
They’re losing money you know, so decided to cover every avenue.
In fact one got me checking my note book a few weeks back, and only because my curtain had been pulled back when window was open…managed to charm myself out of getting a fine btw. 
…I can be tactful and persuasive when I want to be.
(Although the big [zb] in the passenger seat who I flicked the v.s to and mouthed ‘’[zb] off’’ to, definitely wanted a piece of me
