Lets play spot the defects.... :LOL:

Ok, no functional lights or indicators on lead vehicle....

Front tyres on lead vehicle worn way below typical wear markers indicating zero tread depth left...

Third vehicle apparently being towed using an A frame and hitch made out of what appears to be an old alternator. All it's grease nipples were missing also...

Discovery being towed by a lower tax classed vehicle and using rebated fuel (coal) on which there is no road tax added.

Only 1 of the IBCs is strapped on.

No way is that towing vehicle gonna pass it's MOT or emissions test- I can't see a catalytic converter nor DPF anywhere.

Anyway, this is by the by- it's a simple case of the police stopping someone going about their lawful business and trying to work out a way to 'do' them.

Father remembered the threshing gang steaming up through town. Generally the engine was pulling at least 3 trailed items. Used to lose traction on the inclines in winter and had to throw ashes under to get a grip.
