Insurance is the big one, people buy a van, run it on a commercial vehicle policy which is for your own use privately then just go move things, some get the cheapest possible goods in transit cover and tell everyone they are fully insured, which is horseshit, as no payout will be made if you have no removal insurance (hire and reward business insurance) basically 6 points fines the lot plus your vehicle will be inpounded with goods in it, it's like the fast food delivery lot they all need business insurance but rarely do.
