Skirmisher Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Which bit of his tacho did he want you to sign and why? I really cannot understand why he would ask you to do this. A tacho is only ever signed by copper or a VOSA inspector. Never by someone who takes deliveries. Never. He wanted me to sign it as if I was the driver starting my shift, apparently he had to sign it to start his shift and had already done his hours so he wanted me to sign it as if it was a fresh driver.

rubydazzler Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 By the way, Ruby, my wife has just sent me into the kitchen to make the cup of tea. I draw the line at ironing, tho!;)Why are you telling me this? Do I seem like the sort of person who would be interested in the tragic minutiae of a random stranger's domestic life? If it's a feeble attempt to draw a veil over the extremely ill mannered and insulting comments you've made to and about me over the course of this thread, it's not working. An abject apology might possibly do the trick, although I can't promise it would. BOT, I'm surprised that people are claiming that lorries are limited to 56 mph, it can't be all of them? Either that or my speedo is way off ... ETA: Just googled this and it appears it's correct. *amazed face* maybe it's just on the M25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a new tacho card then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible, but daft as he would have needed all your I.D, including your licence, which must have shown you hold an LGV entitlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been it then, he must have just wanted someones different hand writing to the last card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old log books had to be signed but these were not used after 1983/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
