Very annoyed - Parking Issues
Comments
-
VOSA say he can't park there, the operators license says he can't park there ...
But I can't seem to get anyone to enforce it
I'm sorry, but if that is what VOSA really did inform you, then they are wrong.
You said it was a recovery vehicle.
A recovery vehicle is exempt from an operators licence

hi stu this is correct
i would now sidestep local vosa and escalate to vosa HO in bristol they have to reply within a certain timescale too
ignore others who are laughing its not funny and of course its unsightly and probably ruining the tarmac with diesel drops too
Thanks s b

Just been searching under the new regulations for O licenses December 2011 and are recovery vehicles still exempt?
Also to give you an example of the size of the thing, its the same as the one below, not the same company though, hopefully you can see why I'm annoyed:

Either way, i'd not be too happy about THAT parking in front of my house! :rotfl:“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
