Modern towbar fitting is about more than fitting a towbar!

With increasingly complex vehicle electronics, professional installation requires the right knowledge, skills and training.

The NTTA Accredited Towbar Technician Foundation Course combines classroom learning with practical workshop experience, helping technicians develop the confidence to work safely and professionally.

🔧 Every day’s a school day!

Dewi and I are in Milton Keynes this morning attending the NTTA Advanced Trailer Servicing and Maintenance course. 🚛

Even though I’m already fully trained and qualified, I believe in keeping my knowledge fresh and staying up to date with legislation, techniques and best practices.

Investing in our skills means we can keep giving your trailers the care and attention they deserve. 👨‍🔧✅

NTTA Trusted Workshops, which have been through the appropriate training, can repair and lift PG9 notices www.ntta.co.uk

📂🚔 FROM THE FILES: NO TICKET, NO RIDE! 🚛

This commercial vehicle stop uncovered a catalogue of compliance failures — and the consequences quickly followed.

👮‍♂️ Officers identified multiple vehicle defects, alongside concerns over the driver's licence, insurance and operator documentation.

⚠️ HERE'S WHAT WAS WRONG:

❌ Numerous vehicle defects
❌ Driver did not hold the correct licence
❌ Concerns over valid insurance
❌ No operator’s licence
❌ No tachograph card

🚨 THE CONSEQUENCES

🛑 A PG9 prohibition was issued against the vehicle.

🚐 The vehicle was seized under Section 165.

⚖️ The driver was reported for the offences identified.

🚛 COMMERCIAL DRIVERS & OPERATORS — CHECK BEFORE YOU ROLL!

✅ Make sure your driving licence covers the vehicle you're driving.
✅ Check that valid insurance is in place.
✅ Ensure the operator holds the required licence.
✅ Meet applicable tachograph and drivers’ hours requirements.
✅ Carry out proper vehicle checks before every journey.

⚠️ Missing paperwork and unroadworthy vehicles can mean a journey ends before it begins.
