Thanks Lee
I was going to ask how you did your Fox for when mine arrives. However i think it is only a matter of time before someone becomes the test case to prove whether we are all valid in our various self determined categories since the forms were never intended to cover MV
Apologies if you have covered this in previous posts but when the insurance claim went through on your infamous incident with the lady driver was your category of exemption claimed ever questioned by KCM?
When I take the V112G to the post office to get the tax I fill in two copies, the post office keeps one & I get them to stamp the other which I keep, this I use as proof of my exemption.. I gave them a copy of this.. also a second copy could be handy if you get pulled by the Police as if they did a check on your vehicle it would come back as having no MOT, exemption is not recorded on their system..
If the post office refuse to stamp the second copy just tell them they have to.. they don't know any different..

They didn't say a jeep was MOT exempt, I was talking to them about my CCKW. It was the guy in the DVLA who brought the jeep up, by way of explaination that old didn't mean exempt.
Ah sorry :oops: just read your original post, when you mentioned Jeep I just presumed that's what you were registering...

I have been working my way through a pile of V112G/R & if challenged say it is under regulation 30 I am claiming exemption. It always seemed curious that the basis of the exemption was not required on the declaration. The form was revised last year to what seems to be the same wording & is available as a download:
http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/forms/v112g.pdf
It seems that a permanent exemption cannot be recognised as the use may change. In regulation 30 it is used unladen and any trailer is unladen. Some might say is there any point taking a trailer to a show that is unladen? Although I think trailers a poorly recognised bit of MV history & would prefer to take a picture of an empty one!
I claim exemption for my Fox & No.4 best fits it's description, well being designed to blow things up is an engineering operation.. remember when registering your vehicle never let them class it as Agricultural if you intend taking it on the motorway... Agricultural vehicles are banned from motorways..
4. Engineering plant and plant not being engineering plant, which ismovable plant or equipment being a motor vehicle or trailer (not
constructed to carry a load) especially designed and constructed for the
special purposes of engineering operations.

John is correct the V112G is for vehicles over 3.5tons, if you make a false declaration & exempt your vehicle from a MOT when it is not entitled to be that you will be driving without valid insurance.. all Insurance states that the vehicle must have a current MOT unless it is MOT exempt, I've never heard of a MOT exempt Jeep, I'm suprised VOSA, DVLA & the MVT told you otherwise :dunno:

nice rifle, what is it, PCP by the looks what make?
used to own a few up till last year, loved a bit of rabbit pie :drool:
so if you have a road put in -summer would be good for camping urm :whistle:
oh and :tongue:
but not to many mines getting cold :-D
Yep camping would be fine... & I've just remembered there's a plant hire firm at the end of the road :-D
The rifle is a XS78 http://www.sportsmk.co.uk/erol.html not bad for the Boys first rifle..
-
now this is open to interpretation
doesn't state if the road is public or private......
oh and :tongue: :tongue:
To true, loads of options if it's off road.. like this lot, 25acres part of which is mine but I have use of the lot.. will be grass by the summer & we will be putting a private road in soon.. unfortunately our JCB has wheels..
Oh and :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: back at ya.. :tongue:

:tongue:
yes on
but not on the
DVLA :whistle:
Also from the people who test you :whistle:
http://www.dsa.gov.uk/specialvehicles.asp
Track laying vehicles steered by their tracks – category H
Before you can apply for a provisional licence for a category H you must have passed a test for a vehicle in category B.
You must be at least 21 years old to drive these vehicles.
also...
http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Category.asp?cat=134What will the test include?
All practical driving tests for specialist vehicles include an eyesight test and an emergency stop.
If you fail the eyesight test your test will not continue. For further information on the requirements, please click on the link in the related content box.
Category H driving tests require you to drive the vehicle backwards and to turn your vehicle around, using its tracks, to face in the opposite direction. Your examiner will explain how you should perform this manoeuvre.
How will the test be carried out?
This depends on the type of vehicle you use for the test.
Categories F, G, H, K vehicles are usually only single seat, or with a passenger seat where the examiner would not be able to watch the driver. For these tests the examiner will give you instructions at the side of the road and watch how you drive as you go around left and right circuits.
At the end of the category F,G, H or K practical drive you will be asked five questions on the Highway Code and other motoring matters. You will also be asked a sixth question comprising of six traffic signs.

Jack (Dorset) = 1
richardrosser (Kent) .........
Mark (Kent) .
Mark's mate (Kent) .
Neil (Essex) > =7
John (Essex) .
Lee (Essex) .
Ian (Essex ........
So it looks like the HMVF (South-East Section) will have to get Jack to take his test in Essex or Kent :whistle:
Don't forget Snapper he's an Essex lad..
-
So is the test on the road or can it be off road? does it have to be a road registered vehicle & what about named insurance for everyone if we hire one?? I've only hired diggers for off road use but would imagine that if you hired one for use on the road they would want a copy of you FULL (H) licence which we don't have yet & only the hirer would be insured.. but if we can take it off road then most of that is irrelevant :dunno:
-
So what was discussed at the CoM meeting on the 3rd December as Simon Bromley had said this matter was up for discussion & haven't heard anything back :dunno:
-
And I must mention Tunner Rats god forsaken RatPak...........what the hell was that?
Surely that sort of stuff should be put into a disused mine and capped with concrete :?
Still got the taste in your mouth Jack? :-D
-
Ouch my shoulders hurt i think it had something to do with some large oil drums.
large oil drums, you can't call Neil that ;-)
-
I wonder if Jack is navigating again or they stopped to buy a TomTom :roll:
Mark..
the saying is "Old Tom" :whistle:
-
Guys You didn't Leave Jack & Jerry down some tunnel did you :? - theres still no sign of them.
It's still nice and peacefull :-D
Last we saw of them was went they went in search of some entertainment :whistle:
-
Great day chaps & good meeting all the new faces.. think I've pulled a muscle somewhere, might have something to do with helping Ian pull Neil out of a hole.. well done to the chaps for giving Neil a push up from down below.. Thanks to Mark for a smooth ride in the Reo :whistle: off for a bath now :-D
-
Good morning chaps :-D
-

:dunno:
Well they are saying it's got to be taxed, insured & MOT'd if it needs one so would imagine that it would be a test on the road. I know the others offering tracked test do the test on the road even though they have acres of off road land they use for training..

SYH 223 was chassis no. 21789 & issued to Tyne & Wear Brigade Nov.1977
Cheers for that Clive..
