[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7208330, member: 2119"] The result is though as we see yet another batch of careful one or two man smaller businesses sacrificed on the altar of tighter regulations by the high priests of health and safety and assurance schemes. We just can't absorb the time and expense for these extra measures. Yet it still won't address the problem of inexperience and downright recklessness of younger drivers passively encouraged by irresponsible employers. And make no mistake, I am not saying the lad who tragically died in the accident that brought on this scheme was to blame. The scheme is a worthy response and we should all do our best of safety. But it needs to be proportionate. My three ton trailer will go safely across my own land at no more than 10 mph hauling beet as it has done for the last 40 years in perfect safety without needing an annual brake test. The contractor hauling maze for 40 miles each way, well I think its insane on all levels actually, and would better done by HGV. If our trailers have to have an annual brake test on our ring fenced farm then its the end of our business and achieves what exactly? [/QUOTE]
