Fake Britain - Tacho checks

On BBC one now, Fake Britain following Essex police doing tacho checks, just confiscated a magnet from a Portugese driver.

Worth watching on I Player later…

Watching it now

Interesting device fitted to that Irish truck, press a hidden switch whilst driving and all safety features disabled, tacho now shows driver at rest but speed limiter is off and he hits 100mph! And no ABS… Thats scarey :open_mouth:

Only 100mph in a 500 V8…summat wrong wit’ it mate!! :grimacing: :grimacing:

I think the vast majority of UK truck drivers are professionals and would never flout the rules to that extent.

warning and a fine for driving with a magnet :open_mouth:

if that was an english driver he’d of got lubed up.

Those Irish police taking an artic unit out on public roads at 100mph should be prosecuted for putting the public at risk, they said the test was done in a controlled environment, controlled my arse they were on a public road overtaking other unsuspecting vehicles :imp:

And just to make it worse there were warning lights coming on in the vehicle and they still continued driving at speed and overtaking other vehicles :unamused:

It’s good to see that the stereotypes still hold true…Irish firm with big motors with lots of tat stuck to them running bent…they’re all at it!!

It was crazy and dangerous doing that test on a public road even though they were being escorted, they had no clue what was going to happen when that switch was flicked!! There must be an old airfield or test site around where they can do tests like that, or even a rolling road.

Does anyone know where i can buy a fake magnet :laughing:
