His lad is moving away and he has access to a 7.5t low loader thingy via his neighbour. It’s around an 05 plate. My mate would like to use this to transport his sons car to Lancashire but he’s not sure on the whole using a tacho thing and I cant find a proper answer as such.
Tbf it’s not known if it even has a calibrated tacho on it, or needs one.
Any advice on this from you lot? He doesn’t want to screw his cards up so if it needs tacho then he won’t do it, but on the other hand surely all these motor racing 7.5t and amateur horsebox types don’t all use tachos either?
“Vehicles or combinations of vehicles with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 7.5 tonnes used for the non-commercial carriage of goods This would include the non-commercial carriage of any goods, such as a person driving a vehicle for their own personal use, for example, to move house or to transport goods as part of a leisure pursuit (for example, horses, rally cars or bikes). Non-commercial carriage is defined as any carriage by road, other than carriage for hire or reward or on own account, for which no direct or indirect remuneration is received and which does not directly or indirectly generate any income for the driver of the vehicle or for others and which is not linked to professional or commercial activity.”
Translating what @noremac posted. You’re driving a veh not exceeding 7.5t for non-commercial purposes. Doing it on the rest day is entirely at your own leisure so not other work.
On the info given No drivers hours, no operator licence
SWEDISH BLUE:
Make sure the car will not start, pull off an ignition wire, so then it is classified as a “Broken down vehicle” not Goods.
Nice thought, but as it’s not a recovery vehicle, the state of the car makes no difference, it’s still goods. But broken down veh isn’t the route to use the exemptions
