Red or White?

[Universe]

I wonder if the movers and shakers of this country will be running cherry on their personnel mansions & estates machinery, shoots, golf courses, mega yachts etc ... . Probably just make the rules and then say that nobody told them...

It will be vosa doing the checking and they are self financing.
It is possible they may decide to target matches just like they target auction mart car parks.
Most competitors will only burn a few drums in a season.
It will be the commercial classes with working tractors that are at most risk as they will use red during the week.

If it is on private land then VOSA have no rights of entry/ cannot dip tanks etc in a target action like you describe above.

They can only operate on public roads and some council owned sites.

Take a petrol station forecourt, it is not part of the highway and therefore cannot order you to follow them to a weighbridge if you are parked on the forecourt.

VOSA ended years ago, was replaced with DVSA,
Miss use of red, is not DVSA job, its Customs and Excise,
Customs and Excise, have power to enter any premises at any time, they have more powers than most other authorities, the only place they cannot enter is a private house without a warrant

VOSA have got their own agenda! When did ploughing become non-agricultural?

Begs the question “what is agriculture ?” these days.

So, could they dip on a Council Traveller's site?
Some time ago, someone I knew returned to Guildford Market car park to see Customs men camped beside his vehicle, so he retreated to stuff a cheque through the Tax office letter-box for the lost Revenue before collecting his car. Said 'gotcha' men presented him with a sealed sample container, but case dismissed!
