I’m trying to drum into my lad that it’s not the places with the biggest kit he wants to work at, but the places with the best people to work for.
but was he socially distancing
Reminds me of a cousin who complained about the size of tractors now that driving through the village she lives in. I pointed out she drives an SUV that is wider than the 'big' Volvo estate they had decades ago when they had children to ferry about and that nature of their village and the shear number of street parked cars means that it is a difficult enough to drive through in just a car.Concern over ‘big tractor terror’ on Northern Ireland roads
Big tractor ‘terror’ has been put on road safety officials’ radar in Northern Ireland.www.independent.ie
Most annying part of cars on the road round here is most people have a garden that could easily have a park space made in it or a lot of people who already have there own car parking just park on the road as it’s easier than reversing into there drivewaysReminds me of a cousin who complained about the size of tractors now that driving through the village she lives in.

I can't imagine them all switching to cars the size of an origional mini to help make walking or driving through their village nicer.
Tractor cannot tow two trailers if one is loadedI think you should have the loaded trailer on the tractor, then then the empty one.
yep looks like they had the choice of securing it before they were allowed on their way don't know if they had to tip some out first thoughThat looks like a new net, hastily thrown on !
The problem with todays legislation is there is so much of it! It is almost impossible not to knowingly or unknowingly break some law on a daily if not hourly basis... Perhaps the load is not secured "properly" but to me it appears to be secured adequately for transport at agricultural speeds if driven appropriately. If Norfolk police want to make roads safer they should be far more clear in the specifics of the alleged offences and provide guidance on what is required in order to comply with the relevant legislation, not just add further confusion. Most confusing is the twitter response that seems to say this load is legal in the context of moving your own machines between fields but in this case it is illegal because of the context in which it is travelling?
Right PITA, and takes away from actual "problem" loads being highlighted. Trailers with high power flashing LEDS on the rear door should be bloody banned!I dare say the outfit needs a beacon because I would expect it to be over 2.55m wide.
You don’t need much of a set of tyres on anything these days to be over 2.55m
But you make a good point and it annoys me slightly that every machine on the road seems to have twin beacons flashing at all times.
I get what you are saying and when in doubt it is of course sensible but even if you spent half an hour on the internet checking the legalities of every action you do it it would still be easy to miss something!Half an hour on the internet (looking at the Government websites not at what some keyboard barrister says) will answer most of your questions.
The phrases highlighted in your post are matters of opinion, and the law can only deal with facts
