Hi, has anyone got any recent working knowledge of the lights at night rule for vehicles over 1.5tonnes?
The new highway code implies that everything between 1.5 -7.5tonnes should display lights at night when parked even on roads under 30mph, but contradicts itself a bit. Motorhomes parked on the road are asking for trouble sooner or later it seems.
if you haven't read it recently, go have a look!
Do the police understand the rules?
Does anyone understand how this may affect a converted coachbuilt van weighing in at 6.5 tonnes, not immediately obvious as a Motorcaravan til they look it up on the PNC?
is my 'PHGV' still a 'goods vehicle' ?
If not it just comes under the vague catch all of 'Other Vehicles' over 1.5 tonnes.
Like I said, any real experience would be welcome
Ta!
