Seems some people on here seem to think only a police officer has the power to stop a vehicle, beware if you fail to stop for a marked VOSA vehicle or officer

We are not worthy, in the Presence of VOSA us mere Mortals should crawl back under the stone from whence we came. us! the impotent public dare not tread on the same ground as VOSA the Omnipotent one... we should know our place and cast out the Evil that is Red Diesel from the Hearts of our machines.

So lift up your heads and be afraid not to gaze on the VOSA icon..cos shall ye fail to recogniseth such a Beautiful Demigod in all its Glory ye shall be Nicked mate.

dundee cabies got a fare rise this month and all the meters had to be tested starting mon 1st,the low numbers were first(all saloons) its usually a case of drive up on a quiet estate get checked and off within four mins, this time vosa were there, they checked the tyres/steering rack/mileage,you had to open your bonnet and they did some searching beneath the cab, quite a few were put off the road mainly tyres, they werent present all week after this as im sure they know that word had spread and everybody had sparkling cabs complete with new tyres, they were back last mon but i haven,t heard of any cabs being put off
