AN Ibsiock, Leicester, firm has had so much trouble with drivers failing to keep correct records of hours worked that time clocks are being fitted to the vehicles. The East Midland Licensing Authority heard this last week when A. Fletcher and Co., Ltd„ applied for one tipper to be switched from contract A to public A licence, and for the continuation of an A licence for three vehicles and a B licence for nine vehicles. Decision was deferred.
It was stated that from June, 1959. to February, 1960, the firm had been fined a total of £245 for offences concerning drivers failing to keep records and the unauthorized use of a vehicle.
Mr. A. G. Rothera, for Fletcher's, said objections to the applications had been withdrawn. He •went on: Very great endeavours are being made to ensure these offences do not occur again." He said time clocks were being fitted to the lorries although they were "very unpopular."
"And we arc devising entirely new schedules to allow such a margin of time that if these offences are committed again by drivers, we should be able to prove it was entirely their fault.We hope there will be no repetition of these offences in future," he added.
