dozeydustman Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just paid for my driver's ministy spy box Digi tacho card. Company policy we use one on domestic rules (even though domestic waste dusting is exempt). Should be back on the road by middle of next week. clayts450, LightBulbFun, jumpingjehovahs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We passed and the driver grinned . Can't wait till they update Palesgate Lane ,Crowborough street view . It's gonna look funny !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Are they easy to obtain, just apply to the DVLA or something? Yeah you can download an application form, but if you ring the enquiry line and go through the exhausting number of options until you get to Tachograph enquiries, they will take your payment over the phone. No online option to apply that I could find. Which is bizarre. £38 for your first, then £19 renewal every 5 years. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeangel Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Our Lass' old Panda has just trundled off our driveway for the last time, and considering that I never liked driving it (I used to curse it whenever I banged my knee on the transmission tunnel, or my elbow on the door while reversing) I was genuinely a bit sad to see it go. I was deeply suspicious of Fiats, and we only bought it at two years old (with 4000 miles on) because it was a no-brainer at the price. She did 11 years and 161000+ miles in it, and it always brought her home safe. You couldn't really ask for more, could you?

wuvvum Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 My local HGV driving school have started using 6.5-tonne Iveco Dailies for the C1 course. Which I think is a bit of a cheat really - they're smaller than my Maxus, and apart from a 56mph limiter are probably very similar to drive. I don't think that's very good preparation for driving a "proper" 7.5-tonner with air brakes etc. But then my first experience of air brakes was driving a 30' long Leyland Roadrunner I'd just bought through the centre of Rotherham on a Saturday afternoon. The brakes on that thing were like an on/off switch and it had no seatbelts. Was an interesting first few miles. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We had a couple of 6 tonne (or thereabouts) Dailies. As shit as they were, 95mph on a flat was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanciamatt Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 That dedra was my first lancia I had, I bought it from 4ways auto salvage in Chesterfield. Was a cracking car that at 20 years old I thought I was the bollocks lol. It was only 10 years old at the time. Sadly it ended up as a spares car when the box shit its self and has been there since about 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
