ROAD Haulage Association policy on tachographs is not to support compulsory fitting — but not to object to the instrument either said RHA vice chairman John Silbermann.
But he added: "let no-one think we are sitting on the fence. We believe that there is considerable merit in the use of the tachograph for the good of men and management," said Mr Silbermann. Speaking in Leeds, he warned that the RHA would not go along with "blind compulsion" as there was no sensible case for tachos in some areas.
"Therefore we say — let us not face unnecessary costs which in turn will add their little bit to the national inflation problem.
"Yet, on the other hand, where drivers and employers can mutually see common sense in the use of the tachograph, it should be fitted because such action has merit in its own right," he said.
