Slip out like a ninga and take their tyre valve cores out :rotfl:

One of these should do the trick.

Are they sleeping there in the cab overnight?

If so a strategically placed strobe light should do the trick.

If the vehicle(s) are over a certain weight (3.5 tons), then they must display parking lights at night if they are parked on a public road. If in your'e case they aren't, maybe you can persue it from that angle.

Good point, that is the line that I would follow.

We don't know where the base is or what restrictions are in the road so there may well be offences.;)

Don't you have form for crashing lorries?:D

Nope. Done more mileage accident and points free than most people would do if they did 12,000 miles per year, starting at age 17 and drove until they were 160.

What a really stupid idea. It could result in a lorry driver potentially in charge of 44 tonnes driving with little sleep which could result in someone s death. Do you actually have a functioning brain?

i dont think this would be legal if it was on a regular basis, now and again maybe but not all the time. there are no exemptions for drivers who live far from work, thats what personal cars are for.

Not if their company is based 100 miles away....

AS I SAID, if they don't have sufficient hours to drive back to base, there's nothing stopping them.

They may well be in breach of their operators licence, not parking them in a suitable place over night. VOSA may be a good agency to contact.

depends on the size of the vehicle , might not need an operators licence .............not that is a rule about overnight parking anyway

So reversing into things doesn't count?
