I say, thank goodness that we do not have to drive some of the stuff, I did in 1969/70.
It was classed as mobile plant and as such did not require mot and was largely ignored by the police in any checks. Tyres that were through to their carcase made up a couple of those on any of them and cuts were turned to face each other on the twins.
One particular Thames Trader with a 55ft. Hydraulic platform mounted, had some real baldies on the front and I had the dreaded, forward motion, unimpeded by angled wheels, which were just aquaplaning, fortunately there was nothing right on the white line approaching me and the decelaration, quick straighten and re lock on, worked in time. (cor nearly wrote the wrong scenario there from a forward aquaplane on the same truck).
