VOSA 4 hour rule

Well I was told be another driver that if VOSA park you up for a rest period
You are entitled to facilities such as toilets showers drinking water and food
If they park you up somewhere there is non of the above then they have to come and check on you every 4 hours to see if you are in need of the above

Funniest one yet :smiley:

so, If you were parked up by VOSA in one of their checkpoints and you woke up in the middle of the night wanting a number two,
where on earth would you do it ■■?
just asking.

if there are no toilet facilites at there checkpoints what they do is remove the clamp, follow you to a service station and re attach the clamp there, but while the station is open they do give you tea and biscuits, so long as you pass the attitude test :slight_smile:

Even the dreaded DCPC instructor couldn’t beat this for silliness!

Or as the did with my mate when he was pulled overweight just north of Carlisle and was going to have to wait for another vehicle to come down from Glasgow, issue him with a delayed prohibition notice allowing him to drive directly to the truckstop by a fixed route at a speed not exceeding 30MPH. Not sure why the 30MPH limit as he was in a twin wheel transit and only 100kg over.

At the VOSA check points in Central London they bring Porta loos with them which I assume are for them but I guess they would let you use them

And you wouldn’t splash a few drops on the seat… would you? :wink:

It is true lads.I was stopped by the DVSA for being 67 tons over weight.I was offered food vouchers for the supermarket or a six course dinner at a top restaurant within a 6 mile radius.
The big boss of the DVSA came round in his chauffered driven Bentley to the Michelin star food hole.
Would you adam and eve it , in walks Simon Cowel.
I got back to the over weight truck and the kind folk from the DVSA had valeted the cab, polished my alloys and put more air in my tyres.
With the immigrants in the trailer ,my axles were kissing tarmac.

:wink:

na they just give you a mancunian bum clamp … covers their arse and yours see…

I thought the four hour rule was. Its ok to carry on to your destination after a 10,hour drive. as long as you have sufficient amount of refreshments to complete the journey

I got my wheels locked up by the DVSA.The officer was very pleasant and recomended a 69.
I went bright red in the face, then she says they deliver.
Number 69 is the Chicken Chop Suey on their menu at Wang Kerrs Chinese.
Having been tramping for six weeks,she also took my laundry home and washed it for me.
My Y fronts ironed milatary style with a crease down the sides.
To cut a long story short, she turned a blind eye to my magnet.

This is as good as the one I was told off a driver on his 9 off at markham moor truck stop, that aslong as you don’t move the wagon for more than 28 seconds with your card out, it won’t show up on tacho. I made a speedy retreat from said driver. Numpty
