How many times I got stopped by the scalies in Aussie. Them and the cops are much of a muchness. Sometimes you get a fresh-out-of-the-academy arsehole with a point to prove, sometimes you get a squaddie with a bit more professionalism and life's wisdom. I treat them mostly all the same. Pulled in? Full stop at the stop sign and books out. There are only ever two things they're after. Logbook violations and weights. Anything else is a bonus😂. Threats I don't respond to, because if they're going to do you, they're going to do you, and your opinion doesn't make the square root of f**k all difference to them. Just keep a level head, a civil tongue in your head and measure your words. Worst case they ground you and you get a bit of shut-eye😂. That said, I nearly got arrested once in South Australia because I got profoundly pissed off with a bastard who dobbed me in for "drug driving" when I was only trying to let him past. There is no immunity from fuckwits.😂

They even put coaches over and put them over the bridge looking for axle overload. I hope you new job goes really well and we shall miss the Ovlov. All the best Chief.

That was near enough the same experience as I had with VOSA, when I was pulled over at some services on the M5. They were extremely pleasant and friendly.

Your video brought back some nice memories. Not all inspectors were that good, or experts at their job. In about 1985 I was stopped by the police on the A303, just as I came off the M3. As the police officer approached my cab, in my nearside wing mirror, I could see an old man in a white coat getting under my trailer, smoking a pipe. I directed the officer to tell that man to move away immediately. The officer looked startled but then realised he had stopped a petrol tanker. He quickly moved the old man away from my truck and apologised to me before waving me on. Truck - Leyland Buffalo with an L12 pulling 32 tons. Loud, hot in summer and a plastic driver’s seat with no springs.

[@jcreedy20]

@@mcfrosty8739 True that, but from experience it doesn't quite work that way. Often I have found myself pressured by management, into using vehicles that are technically not faulty but have issues that are skimming the law or are intermittent and will become illegal once said fault repeats. There is also time critical pressure in many jobs that make you rush the checking of the vehicle for example. If it were me, it should be up to the management/ engineering to ensure it is 100% serviceable and then you do your own walk around when you take the vehicle, but it should be on someone else's head unless a fault develops whilst driving or out on the road for a few days and you blatantly ignore it. Having a chunk missing out of the tyre can happen at any time, like just before you get pulled over. There needs to be some common sense regarding things like that, from what I have seen, some use common sense when inspecting vehicles and some don't, they just go by the book. Those who I have seen use common sense are out to get your company normally because they know about how certain companies can be and often drivers are pressured. Inspectors who don't use common sense, just throw the book at the driver because it makes there job simple, presumably? Just bare in mind that some drivers have had very different experiences with very different companies and circumstances. Not everyone has had the blessing of working for a company or boss that looks after you, and does things properly. Some have worked for companies where there are time restrictions and the absolute minimum of maintenance just so they can meet there expenditure targets for the season.

[@mcfrosty8739]

@@jcreedy20 I agree with that and there needs to be action taken to stop it. Unfair for the company to whip the employee and conduct poor practices which are out of the driver's control only for said driver to be punished for it. In that case I would just say fuck the company and find a different job. Granted, not always that simple but still, can't be encouraging that sort of behaviour from a company. If their margins are that small that their trucks are barely legal then they should be forced out of business.

Good luck Mr.T in your next adventure. Always best to be polite and respectful when stopped by the DVSA or Police etc . You’ll be on your way a lot faster and with less repercussions.

[@KarrierBag]

I spent over 25 years driving circus : trucks, motorhomes, buses and vans, all painted up, VOSA Always turned away, never got pulled once 😁

[@alexmorris452]

You are a very lucky man

[@michealsilezin2121]

Thats Very lucky, i think i had around 5 pulls and most of them were on crossing the scotland england border and i think manchester area..there was 1 pull in wales -> vosa got a whiff of drivers using tacho breaks while being loaded and staying in the truck(where there was no use access to canteen/food) so technically its poa...i didnt know they had no canteen/rest area but I never allow TMs or the transport office to "manage" my breaks and my idea of a break is uninterrupted with an ability to use my spare time freely/access to food/no pressure from others wanting the truck to move -> so this loading business did not fit my criteria of break and I kept to the rules which saved myself a ticket when they picked me off rolling off out the company. Sneaky, just like coppers hiding in bushes waiting for an excuse to get you 😒 glad im out of the industry too, though i can teach cpc courses and its better being taught by someone who has a Tshirt of 11 years stretch from machinery, abnormal loads, liquid flamables to international work. Its been a meditating experience for which im grateful.

[@Ginga7r]

Its mad all the grey areas in the hgv world I'm a mot tester as well and I test Big coaches that are not used for public use so they become a class 5 which means a 21 year old kid could be checking a massive heavy vehicle to make sure it's safe on the road which personally I think that is scary.

[@circustruckin]

Karrier Bag ya talk bollox man circus and showman’s transport was always being a target for the Ministry in what ever name they called themselves at the time just because they was exempt from MOT’S don’t mean they was exempted from stop checks in 35 year in working for various showmen I’ve been stopped 20 times seven checked midweek on ground even customs and excise checking fuel in the tanks ! 98% of the time the kit I’ve had has passed inspection never a major problem just silly things sorted and checked off And now the rules have changed all showman’s HGV’s must have a test on them no exemptions

[@KarrierBag]

@@circustruckin well I was obviously very lucky, I am not talking bollocks I ran my own touring circus for 25 years. Got pulled twice by police so they could get my details to book us for police events and got pulled by armed police in city of london when carrying a load of pyros, fuses, powder etc but NEVER by VOSA ( DVSA now). Was followed by them and when passing stop checks / weighbridges honestly they always turned away, on the A27 on the A23 A303 A1 A19 etc etc.....

[@NapierNimbus]

Great video, could tell how much happier pony was after unload. Thumbs up to DVSA (VOSA). On TV seen them finding unsafe trucks so good they are doing their checks.

[@RichardJW1]

Blimey Kev, even I was starting to sweat at the "pull"

[@KevTee]

Tell me about it mate, no matter how clean you are it always nervous times but the video proves there fair 👍

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

I think you made that reverse look far easier than it is. Well done.. From an ex professional driver. I amazed how far away the traffic stopped.. How polite and unpressurised of them.. 7:24 The metal crane grabber just shook it's head. I bet they had their breakfast and java? Do they have any control over the foreign lorries? I found it as easy as pie delivering around London when I had the twin domes of Wembley stadium for a landmark.. Must look odd to any Americans or Australians watching this that the trucks do not have bonnets out in front? Best of luck in the new job..

[@will_doherty]

I was thinking when he first pulled you that you'd have filled up by then, and that could cause a weight problem - just as well that you hadn't filled up at that point :-).

[@KevTee]

Indeed mate, I'm sure another half a tonne would of caused issues 😂

[@martinnorris9379]

With the weigh could you argue with your weight ticket from the scrap yard . It says your 43 odd .What more can you do

[@perlamiseriaccia]

Lesson of the day: always drive with less than a 1/4 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@KevTee]

@@martinnorris9379 that's exactly correct, the weighbridge ticket is always my "get out of jail" card 😁

[@leinadttarrag4717]

Or fill up before you load shame you havent got a scania with scales

Congratulations kev with the new job, hope the hours are better for you & you can spend more time with your family etc. All the best 👍🏻

Thanks mate, hope you enjoy joing me on the new adventures 👍

[@lukecinahgv]

Fair play on being totally honest with the results mate 👌 Was that our group chat I saw? 😱 What about the dodgy photos we sent to each other! 😂

Nothing to hide here mate, it would of been completely unedited if it didn't take an hour and a half 😂

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Hi Kevtee good luck with ur new job I hope goes well mate. I hope I wouldn’t get pulled over with my Kymco for u Mobility Scooter with Volvo B10M badges on the front lol as they were my favourite vehicles to work on. If you’ve ever seen Stagecoach Express Plaxton Premier fleetnumber 539 model bus. That was new to Glenrothes & yes I’ve worked on that babe in the past. Last I’d seen of her she’s at Cambridge as a driver trainer . Think she’s been there for roughly 10 odd years. Anyway apologies for sounding like a sad git as I’ve been a bus enthusiast since 88 pal.

[@dannymorgan6053]

So much respect to drivers of the big rigs. I normally have a trailer anytime I'm on the road but I think I would lose it in a big truck. Kinda like claustrophobia because of size vs road design and the "invincible" drivers that seem to own the road...

[@elizabethtaylor9321]

I like how you magicked there car away , pity you couldn’t do that for real on the road , your were just the monotony breaker , they go back to laybye for snoozy time after your going over , good luck in the new job , C Taylor .

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

I was pulled 10 minutes away from my 1st drop after a 4.5 hour drive in a pre loaded sprinter. Found to be overweight bu 430kg! My work took the fine and the blame. It was scary and took all day waiting for someone to come and unload enough stuff for me to get re weighed and allowed to go. I still had most my drops to do still. normal 14 - 16 hour shift in a van l. I quit 2 years ago now I feel much less stressed but the company did put me through HGV2 before I left.

[@AK-vz8oo]

What do you do now?

[@EdPlaysHD]

Jesus, glad I'm in a HGV job that they can't pull you over 😂😂, for any reference I'm an AA recovery driver and the status we have on tacho means we don't get yard searches or pulled over, always have that feeling that some of them don't know that when you see them pull out behind you on the A14 😂 Good to see what they do and how they conduct their searches though

[@leinadttarrag4717]

They can pull you over they just dont have a need I know this I've worked for aa rac and smaller firms

[@cedenullis5906]

Hi Kevin, another professional drive. Best of luck with your career change, hope it is all you hoped for. Please keep us informed on developments. Look forward to viewing your new vlogs.

[@KevTee]

You lot will be the first to know of developments 👍

[@aaronfrazier4232]

Being Owner/ and operator over here in the States this was an intriguing vlog. Im a bit of, what we call an outlaw, so watching you following the vosa made me impatient. I was thinking i wouldve just kept circling the round about or kept straight when they took the get off, they've had to chase me. I wonder what type of citation that would had rendered? Lol which is something I've made DOT(Department of Transportation) do before. Thank goodness you didnt fuel up yet. Anytime i had to go to those type of customers i always top off fuel because for some reason they never seem to care if im only at a quarter of a tank of fuel. Well Kev congrats and good luck on the new endeavor! Cheeeeerrrrrrsssss 😁

[@pompeymik]

They'd find something for definite if you didn't comply, people that start the conversation with " don't you have anything better to do?" Will have their tacho records for the passed 2 months pulled, and they'd fine you £200 for each infringement, including slight overspeeds drown hills etc, and they'd make extra sure they find something wrong with the rig! It can get expensive if you don't pretend you appreciate what they're doing!

[@Alucard-gt1zf]

Thankfully in the UK it isn't illegal to run from law enforcement

[@johnnyrvf]

I’m surprised he didn’t ask for the waybridge ticket from where you loaded. When I was a LGV driver the first thing I was asked when I was stopped by the ministry was if I had gone on a weighbridge with the load I was carrying. Lucky you were pulled before fueling up because once fueled, you’d have been well over! Canning town! I worked for a Global Indusrtial Gas company who had a yard in Canning town. It doesn’t seem to have changed much in the 20 + years since I’ve been there! Heathrow and that truckstop was MY stomping ground, a long time ago!

[@memberofthechurch8714]

I'd like to see the fuel added. Show us you re feeling and how you go about it next time. Thank you enjoying the video.

[@Mr_Bean_Stalk]

Wtf does this mean?

[@MrMarkyone]

I have been driving 40 years and thats the nicest i have seen VOSA treat a driver

[@KevTee]

To be honest I've had 3 encounters with the DVSA and all have been plesent and professional. As in most cases if you approach them with an attitude then you will most likely receive the same in return. Run legal, be plesent and I've never had a problem 👍

[@taragoble4300]

Loved the spooky music at the start very hammer house of horrors, all the best with your new job.

Thanks Tara, hope you enjoy the new adventures 👍

[@icewizzard666]

Great vid Kev, have to say you're like like a proper presenter the way you introduce he vids and explain things - brilliant! Very professional and polite when you were pulled too! Good luck with the new job, always good to get more time with your family!

[@dandoeswalks2019]

Great to see everyone being pleasant with one another. As you say, keeping on top of things and not being a dick goes a very long way. I’ve subscribed! 😁👍

[@craig855s]

Echoing this. Seems to be far too many people out there these days who want to argue with the officials (from police and VOSA to anything including sports referees and door bouncers) and think they're never in the wrong or the official has no right to tell them what to do.. If you speak to them properly and civilly you probably wont even be in trouble

[@terrythurston8572]

Although I’m retired now ,I found that area (the east A13) interesting , I worked it for over 35 years. I noted some changes. I wish you well .Terry.

[@highpath4776]

Only some - !!. I would have gone back via the North Circular / A40 /M25 / M3. Assuming the North Circular is free flowing !

[@garymckie5998]

surprised they didnt try and do you for the dog in the windscreen, as its just inside the window wiper scope lol

[@TheByard]

Kev, You mentioned a 13ft height limit when driving to the Canning Town drop off. that may be the Northern Outfall sewer bridge at West Ham Tube Station, I worked on the bridge replacement back in 1962 during the bad winter. Nothing could be done about the low height limit as sewer had to follow grade. After tipping and passing the ambulance garage, you let a car through a narrow spot theres a nice hole in the wall café, if you need a sarnie and coffee. Good luck in your new job, I hope the grass is greener.

[@KevTee]

Thanks mate, very interesting read 👍

[@pezzermra]

I know they have a job to do BUT they need to pull the unmarked vans ec

Kev, I don’t blame you leaving Burden for giving you a poxy 460 for 44 tonne operation! A mate of mine here in Ireland is looking at a new rigid tipper, he hasn’t decided on whether to get a 4 axle or a 5 axle wagon but he’s looking for at least 500 Hp minimum! I’ll miss your vlogs as you do now - I love the way you handle London! Best of luck in the new job - I sincerely hope it works out for you 👍🏼
