exactly why i never bothered to take the test. up untill 2007 it was ok, as the police gave a sort of 10 year grace, and ud just get a slap on the wrists. but now its 11 years/2008 u can be done for all sorts from dangerous driving and unsafe load etc, points and fine etc
the reason i posted this is im now at a stage with my business where i could really do with pulling heavier loads. ie mainly a mini digger.
stupid thing is the pay load in my pick up buck is 1.3 tons. and with an unladen truck i can only pull (according to the rules?) 1.2 ton
.
Im gna get the PA to look into this, as im sure there are a lot of us who need a straight answer!
