Police are wrong when the fine a guy for losing a few spuds off a trailer.
Police are wrong to not take action against a young driver.
Make your minds up fellas

perhaps to solve the 'lorry driver crisis' ppl with car licence should be able to drive '8 wheelers; restricted to 50kmh.......effectively thats what ag sems to be allowed to do
If that had been a truck he’d have been done and made to weigh and have the truck inspected and his records checked and I can guarantee He’d have been done

So all the ppl thats just said about how he shoulda been done have u never driven a dumper with the load not netted? Have u never driven a tractor when 16 that was above the legal weight? Or driven some machine at some point that wasnt totally road legal? Lot of hypocrites on this forum thats for sure as wev all done things or took an odd chance

When most of us were 16 it was a totally different era than it is now. He was also on a very busy dual carriage way / outskirts of a town centre.

When u and i was 16 u still were only allowed to drive under a certain weight. U sayin u never broke that law? As i certainly did. Also the law is the law whether near a town or up some country road. We all take chances and have done things in the past that wasnt "legal" whether that be breakin the speed limit or chancin a drive home after a drink or whatever else so dont see why some are so quick to condemn others

I think the responsibility lies more with his boss/dad/whatever. When you were 16 you didn't often have the confidence to argue the toss when you were told to do something.
