QOne of my vehicles was stopped by a policeman who directed the vehicle to the Testing Station. The examiner there imposed an immediate GV9 on the tractor for three defects. We have now received a summons from the police for using the vehicle on the road with a cut tyre; loose brake chamber; and an inoperative stop light. Is it usual practice for the police to do this and is it legal?
4W, Hitchin.
AThe police will produce the vehicle examiner in :ourt to give evidence. Yes, it S legal but not common except t is getting more so, as the vehicle inspectorates' inanpowmseems to be unable to cope. should imagine an arrangeTient has been made between he two authorities.
