So tell me how many do that? 2 out of 3 of our trailers don't have sheets, what do you want me to do not harvest this year? It's been fine all the years before. If this rule is correct they had better tell trailer manufacturers to make roll over sheets compulsory65/70kph is pretty fast in my book for tractors

Should’ve thrown a ratchet strap over the top just to be sure…!
Chuck a few ratchet straps over
So were drum brakes all round on cars till they realised there was a better alternative to prevent deaths

Tell me how many trailers loaded like the picture cause deaths? Put money on that if the dosy bugger had working lights and a number plate he would never have been stopped. Looks like I'll have to buy a 24 ton trailer to move 5 ton around to play safe! Tbh I'm surprised you write on the forum incase you might break your finger but then again you may have spent the morning doing health and safety risk assessments in preparation for writing in the afternoon.
Look the laws are changing, I’m having to accept them, maybe you should grow a pair and start accepting them too. Everything is changing for the better/safer
Instead of looking for excuses I suggest you sit down and start looking for solutions

I agree things are always changing, for the better not always. In this case I won't be looking for any solutions. I will carry on as normal with my perfectly safe loads driving at a reasonable speed that is safe and won't give this a second thought. If the police actually chased real criminals it would be a better world.

If you're using public roads, you need 2 more sheets (and use them) or run the risk of a ticket if stopped.
Not hard to work out.

My interpretation is that if the load (grain) level is below the sides (at the highest point), then no sheet is needed?
Bet that load hits you full on when you loosen the hitch

Decent sized trailer, could be over 18T? Its insecure because it can blow or spill Not rocket science.
It does here depending on how strict they want to be especially on a main road. Plenty take the risk though.

It needs one and can be any of your tractors number, for £10 its an easy one to do, and looks the part.

I would say so, so just put 14 tons in that 14 ton trailer and you will be fine.
I hope Herself is not pulled tomorrow then...
