DVA/VOSA?

[Stu Beck]

I have seen vosa veichles on my travels and was also stopped by vosa on the weigh bridge at sprucefield.

Good to know!

So all these pics on FB of VOSA vehicles claimed to be in certain areas are just bs then? As you say they have never and do not operate here

No, it means the DVA or dippers are potentially in those areas stopping vehicles, people are just wrongly calling them VOSA.

You can see the DVA stickered people carriers driving around dangerously ready to pull vehicles over, and the dippers usually drive dark blue Toyota Hilux pickups with the white extension bit on the back.

Not to be mistaken for the Morgan-McClernan driver transfer vehicle

Very different vehicle, although there used to be the Sawyers Driver Support Vehicle....SDSV stickered up much like the DVA although havent seen it about for a couple of years.

Both Saywers and the Morgan-Mclernan DVA/VOSA look a Limey People carriers are still doing the rounds up and down to Larne on a daily basis lol

Sawyers SDSV was a great effort, a proper two finger salute to the Vosa.

Irish sense of humour

Caused an oh **** moment in front me me too, when it cut me up so it could exit a roundabout from completely the wrong lane ( 3 lanes and they were on the inside cutting right across at last second to get off )...only to then do a U-turn as soon as it left the roundabout. Those idiots shouldnt be allowed near a public road.

owner driver finding it impossible to make it pay doing it legally.its near impossible with the current price cutting of larger company's.example one load we were doing for £520 in England was cut by local company to £400.waste of time now.drivers don't see the whole picture of costs involved .

Fair enough ...but the chances of losing your books in a blink of an eye is always on your mind im sure.

It's only on a very rare occasion that you are overweight etc and is always when doing bulk when the place you loading from has no weight bridge etc.maybe you drive yourself so you know the score.spoke to a guy last week who loaded peat moss in the south and he knew it felt heavy but when he got weighted he was at 57 ton.Now that's bad crack .

 

[Wild Thing]

Feck theres feeling heavy and theres 57 ton thats ridiculous

The taxi dva inspectors take no sh1t although any dealings I have had have been ok. First time they flashed the blue lights at me I had no idea who it was. I have seen them be judge, jury and executioner with a boy who got lippy. Put him off the road for quite a few vey minor offences.
