To top it all off if he was going to the South Molten area he would have driven down a stretch of motorway where VOSA stop trucks daily and also he would have driven straight past the VOSA weighbridge!

Where's that then GUTH?

Yea, they are always parked on the motorway between the Cully junction and JT 27 ( heading North ) waiting to pull in lorry's.

Did see them pulling in some fully loaded straw lorry's last spring.

Wouldn't pull many straw lorries going upwards
Only the small amount that use Devon grain weighbridge.

I saw them pulling in one as it came off the roundabout heading onto the link road!

Well at least it wasn't a weigh bridge ticket showing a gross weight that was 4 ton over the legal limit allowed for UK Roads...

Change of mind there GUTH

And you have never taken a load over weight? Of course not you buy by the bale.

I didn't know if it was overweight or not. I am not upto speed with lorry weigh limits etc

Straw lorry’s are like a fffffing magnet to them, they had me there last year going round the o to take the link road then had a driver of mine 2 weeks ago coming onto the o from Tiverton, best get up early.

My straw was here before they had even thought about getting out of bed.

I have never been stopped with straw on

Must be a nightmare with straw/ hay etc weight wise as every baler is set different/ depends on how dry the crop is/ condition of crop etc.

Doesn't take many bales at 500 kilos to get over weight compared to some at say 350 kilos the same width/ length.

That’s because you haven’t got any straw to sell

Well I don't suppose you can get many bales on the roof rack of your car

No change of mind, they pull lorry's in from both the motorway/ as they go around the roundabout and are heading onto/ off the link road.

You don't need to be clued up to road limits for Lorry's to know/ realize that the weight that load is would clearly be over weight!

Okay so say that lorry's brakes failed because it was overweight and hit a car with your loved ones in would you still think : whatever it doesn't matter it was over loaded by such a high tonnage because it was early in the morning so no risk of it being pulled in..
