Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• A Home Counties recovery operator has began a campaign to clarify legislation governing his industry which is applied inconsistently by different police forces.

David Cogbill, office supervisor with All Recovery and Repair of Guildford, Surrey, is writing to all recovery operators and police forces to seek agreement on current legislation which he describes as a grey area. The industry is fraught with inconsistency. I want an agreement so we abide by one set of rules and therefore force out people who don't want to abide by them."

Cogbill says the problems are particularly associated with the recovery of drawbar units and trailers, which once hitched up often top the maximum permitted length of 25.9m. He says one police officer will order it to be towed from the motorway while another will book it.
