Title: Droopy Seals
Post by: John m on September 12, 2022, 11:52:08 am
The new seal on the Mirror meter hangsdown inviting some fucktard to mess with it ."Here Mr Taxi driver that looks like a refs whistle can I blow it ".If Young Scroat or Fiddly Female broke the seal would you need to be recalibrated before you got a replacement seal ?

Im going to put a Cable tie around it .During the Hot weather the Glue on the Velcro holding the meter  on to the original mirror melted it fell off .So secure both Meter and seal with the one Cable tie .

I always thought my seal looked like a little camera but nobody ever said anything. But nowadays 99% of my passengers sit in the back.

They break it they pay for it. Just tell them the total cost. And bullshit like its a criminal offence to tamper with a government seal.

No, you do not need recalibration but you would need a reseal (86.10) in order to pass next suitability.

I put a small strip of sellotape on mine to hold it up against the meter rather than have it dangling invitingly.

Nope, no bodies as of yet, had 4 real bad ones over the years, 1 settled by a judge fer cash in court, another 2 settled out of court fer cash with Garda involvement, and then the other idiot 'Doing 4'.
