So if it’s below the sides you don’t need a net? Because realistically is a roller over net going to stop piled high 6ft on a rough road anyway?!

Nets are only suitable for preventing dust blowing off a bulk load. If transporting oversized (say 75mm clean) that cannot produce dust you don't need a net.

Literally every police force I follow are all now stating every load regardless of what it is should now be coverd/netted?!
Yes, because no one is standing up to them.
Basically if it's light and can't be strapped it needs a net.
If it's Dusty it needs a sheet
If it's Heavy, below the sides/raves and does'nt make dust all is well.

Bm lorry driver today said they've been told to net everything. He had 4.8m timber left on strapped down but had to net it.
These clowns want to go after these transit people that have steel piled high over weight etc.
But they won't because it will cost to much money to do so!

If he was actually overloaded he got away very lightly only having ”words of advice”.

The “law enforcer” confirmed lower down that it was a ‘over height’ overload.. ie above the sideboards… 🙄
I'd bet my left nut that if they'd had a pad weigher and set the draw bar down on it, it'd have been way over the prescribed limit

Probably.. but so too would every trailer behind a car/pickup! 90kg nose weight for 3500kg isn’t it?

Depends on which is the lowest rated, the vehicle manufacturer, the coupling, or the drawbar. Usually the vehicle manufacturer is the lowest.

I think it varies from vehicle to vehicle whereas pickup hitches are limited by c and u regs

I've got to be honest the entire Tillypass thing boils my s**t.

Either Fully legislate and enforce Annual plating on Highspeed trailers. Or Don't. But don't encourage Quazi organisations to be the supposed standard.
