Weight Limit situation.....

[Scousefella]

Should a 26 tonne vehicle just happen to pass over a 3 tonne weight limited bridge and be spotted by "The Authorities" how long would the naughty boy documents take to arrive?

Would a first offence be a warning or would there be pounds and points involved?

Thanks in advance.

I followed directions from a customer. When I got to the bridge there was no possibility of turning.

All that jazz said:

So what? Would you have said that in defence to the copper when the bridge collapsed and your truck was sat at the bottom of the river?

What road and location was it? I would be very surprised if there aren't warnings on the approach to it in addition to the one on the bridge itself.

If I had seen a warning I would have acted accordingly - I am not in the habit of ignoring weight limits.

The first sign I set eyes upon was at the entrance to the bridge itself, it is on a single track lane ( I am a rural driver) and reversing back would have been impossible.

The whole area was 7.5t except for access, I qualified for access no problem.

Highways Agency van sat in layby after bridge.

Works van type, not VOSA or traffic officers.

No idea re dashcam.
