So no FPN for this man in a van

No fine for inadequate or no load security as in not one single ratchet strap.

No straps would be the least of his worries by the sound of it.
Does he need straps any more than a tipper or waste tipper would?

Article mentions van/car/flatbed but none of those describe the dropside in the picture.

Is this his brother?

I dare say when he gets to court they’ll wrap a bunch of charges up in a bundle, but if he goes to the bog-standard Magistrates court he’ll probably get off very lightly.

I don’t know if the auto-censor will let me say “pie-key” but I’d certainly expect him to be part of the “travelling community”
