I've never heard of owt like this happening before...
My mate is a surveyor and has his own surveying company in Scotland. Last monday his son was working in Wick (he runs my mates surveying company), he went up in his Shogun towing a trailer as he had to bring a load of ground core samples back to southern Scotland.
Near Inverness he was pulled over by the Ministry of Transport for vehicle checks. The weight was ok at 2500kg, but they told him the vehicle had to be fitted with a Tachograph as it is classed as a commercial vehicle ?? The trailer is now impounded in Inverness.
At work we use Transit tippers, sometimes with trailers on but none of ours have a tacho fitted either. I know there are some learned peeps on here.. what do you reckon???
