the police dont pull u the ministry do,  they just have the police there in case u kick off,   if you get pulled whilst out driving and it looks ok then most copper will just leave you alone, 

if u get pulled they will take u to a weighting station to get it confirmed,  if they do and you think you are over weight, start emptying water out of your van, by switching it on and the water should empty out as u r driving lol

the one thing i woulld do is repalce you shocks on your van as this will help with the weight

the chances of you getting pull are slim,  unless u have an accident and they take the van

A roofer mate ofmine got pulled over and he had the police. ministry, council AND trading standards check him over!!

The police were checking his van over....

Trading standards were asking him about giving customers a "cooling off" period after giving them a quote....

Council were checking he wasnt carrying any "trade waste"...

Ministry were checking he wasnt over weight limit and checking his tank for red diesel!!!

Obviously, he was well pleased to help........NOT!!
