Continental Automotive Trading is urging fleets to be fully aware of the legal requirements regarding tachographs.
With VOSA issuing £200 on the spot fines for in-scope vehicles that do not have a tachograph installed and operational, Paul Jennings of Continental Automotive Trading UK Ltd, the manufactures of the VDO tachograph, said: "Vehicles that are towing, and the total gross combination weight of the vehicle and trailer is in excess of 3,500kg, the vehicle legally has to be fitted with a tachograph.
“This also means that the operator requires an Operator Company Card and a Driver's Card to be legal on the UK roads.”
VDO have issued a free of charge booklet that identifies what you need to do if you think you require a tachograph fitted. To claim your guide call 0121 326 1264.
