Ros...Managed to use 7.5 tonner for 6 years with out licence. If you only carry your own waste(chip) then you don't need one. How ever when you get pulled carrying a load of blocks for a drive you can only blagg once and I agreed to get a licence...LOL

Ag, Forestry and Hort are exemt under EC law from Taco graph regs. If you have one in and use it they can do you if you have been speeding etc. SO DON'T USE ONE.
Thats why I now have Mogs,It's a tractor ....honest.lol

Am I right in thinking that to be exempt from tachos the truck should not be used for "hire or reward" ie chip must go only to your yard from site, cant be sold on to a client. I heard also the other day that the Ministry are really clamping down on the use of red diesel fuel in the Mogs on road useage (and Fastracs etc) as this doesnt earn them the revenue. How does that die remover work? Any one tried it yet? :Eye: :Eye:

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

me i got a cold house and no beer

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well git sum beer, damit!

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

Do you know were experiencing well below average temprature's tonight it's predicted to fall below zero [global warming my ass]

 

[Thor's Hammer]

OK, heres the deal.
the atlantic gulf stream keeps britain and Ireland in a temparate climate despite us being in the same latitude as siberia. the warm water from the south atlantic rushes north, warms dear old blighty and as it hits super dense cold water coming from greenland ice shelfs, dives to the floor of the ocean and retuns to south america to be warmed again. They call it the conveyor. up till now they Know that there are 12 precise locations where the conveyor dives, cold water sink spots they call them.
Bad news is, cause of global warming, extra ice melting etc, these sinks or giant pumps have been slowing down. Bad news but it wont happen in my lifetime blah blah. Wrong. a scientific team working on an american sub have just returned and reported that 10 of the sinks are dead, and the flow from the other 2 is minimal. this is going to soon stop the atlantic gulf stream very quickly. in the next 5 years britain will see dramatic weather changes with siberian / alaskan type winters.
So thats why yer bleedin 'ouse is cold Rolla! Now go get some beers in

Big A...Does not matter what you do with your truck as long as ag/forestry or fishing.
All exempt from Tacho regs under EC law. Most police and ministry men don't understand and quote only UK regs. We carry a laminated copy of the regs in the cab.
Great when you get a multi agency stop. Let them go through all the garb and when they have wrote out the ticket, pull out the copy. It does their head in when the police then start asking the ministry men waht the fu*k to do.lol. We also carry a letter from Customs re a tribunal ruling that states Mogs are Ag and can use red juice.

Nice one 'Mog,I run 3 HGVs I'd love to get a copy of that, is it available anywhere?

 

[Ross Turner]

Tony,As Thor said is there anywhere we can get a copy of the EC Regs?,My boss is getting a mog to use on powerline clearance running a pto chipper so the info would be useful.

Those senators obviously didn't do their homework on him. Giving him a platform like that, I bet old George couldn't believe his luck! What were they thinking?! He's obviously been stitched up. Whatever you think of him, I'm sure he'd never be stupid enough to get involved in corruption, knowing that the CIA and MI5 are probably watching his every move, waiting for him to slip up.

Anyone interested, you can see it here
