VOSA Vehicle and Operator Services Agency

This is how they describe themselves on their website:

"The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) was formed on 1st April 2003 following the merger of the Vehicle Inspectorate and the Traffic Area Network division of the Department for Transport. VOSA provides a range of licensing, testing and enforcement services with the aim of improving the roadworthiness standards of vehicles ensuring the compliance of operators and drivers with road traffic legislation, and supporting the independent Traffic Commissioners."

What they really are, is a bunch of officials crammed into an expensive car at the tax payers expense, which is then painted in pretty colours and they drive up and down the motorways looking and feeling important. I have seen these people attending a breakdown, they insisted that the young couple stood in the cold well away from their car (for safety) while THEY sat in their nice warm vehicle which was parked behind the broken down one. THEY must have felt that THEY were safe because they had their little yellow lights flashing. These people must believe that they are "Real Policemen" because they have got big yellow jackets and radios, i wouldnt be surprised if the radios didnt work, they were just for show.

If you look carefully in the back of thier nice big expensive cars you will see that all they carry is sweeping brushes and traffic cones for cleaning up after wrecks, yes cleaning up. These people are nothing more than wombles, if you dont know what a womble is then please google it.

Anyway, the reason for my rant, i stopped off for a nap on the way back to the depot and the service station was infested with wombles. Picture the scene, a row of parked up trucks and the drivers trying to have a break (a legal necessity in our fine land of rules and regulations) and next thing you know theres a tap tap tap on your window and youve got a nasty dose of wombles climbing all over your truck looking for an excuse to slap a fine on you. I hate these creatures almost as much as caravans.

I know what youre thinking and no i didnt get get any fines as my truck and I are always are always on the ball, but i hate them anyway!!!
