THe lorry on the inside lane is probably doing 59mph and the one overtaking doing 60mph! Have you also noticed that they always seem to start the overtaking procedure at the foot of a hill?? |

CG, please can you explain why is it that tractors do not get MOT'd, pay no VED and get cheap (VAT free) fuel and yet expect to be allowed to use for free the roads that the rest of us have had to pay to use. It really p*sses me off round here to be stuck behind a tractor towing an Ivor Williams Beast trailer 16 miles to market at a flatout 25mph and nobody can get passed it. Why don't they just drive from field to field and save everybody a lot of heartache. At least the vehicles that are pulling caravans (quickly or slowly) are generally taxed and they are paying duty and VAT on their fuel as well as being MOT'd.

I have full sympathy for CG on this one, it must be worrying having to keep looking over his shoulder in case he gets rear ended! Freelander 2 - SE

Tim, So would you on red diesel, no mot and negligable VED + the satisfaction of issing of all of your newcomer neighbours with their Audis, Volvos, Bentley Flash Gits, Porsches and various German 4*4s the size of a barn door. Oh the pure satisfaction at harvest time towing the old double coupled artic trailer laden with bales, a jam of newcomers behind and all those coming the other way having to reverse down the lanes. Now you do see some classic driving! still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit |

As far a the livestock haulage goes that is a often discussed point, Is taking livestock to auction a farming operation or haulage? A wagon would obviously have to run on derv,pay VED and mot his truck in order to do the same job. It wont be long until the laws on this job and a few others are changed. But then would taking livestock from field to field be classed as farming or haulage? or should the farmer have to drove his stock down the road enmass.

Thanks for the explanation m8 - I have the right to cause havoc in the City, being a Freeman and Liveryman of the City of London I am entitled to drove my livestock through the streets of said city............................ can you imagine how the ecos would whinge about the sh*t on the streets and the methane being produced if all the Freemen did that! I have never done this but recently that well known MP Diane Abbott did rent a flock of sheep and a shepherd to allow her to exercise her rights! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Ken is Mayor of a different City of London - I'm part of the proper City of London - the bit that makes all the money rather than spending it, and is populated by wealthy guys who drive gas guzzlers How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
