USING AVEHICLE without an 0-licence or tachograph has cost a fruit and vegetable merchant £600 in fines and costs.
Stuart Bryant, trading as S&II Fruits of Fleet, Hampshire, pleaded guilty to the offences when be appeared before the Uxbridge magistrates. He was fined £150 for the tachograph offence, £250 for the 0licence offence and was ordered to pay .£200 costs.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for VOSA, told the court that a 7.5-tonne Iveco carrying fruit and vegetables was stopped in a roadside check.
EC regulations stated that drivers must use a tachograph record sheet every day on which they were driving, starting from the moment they took over the vehicle.
On this occasion, Bryant, who was driving, was not using a tachograph.
No 0-licence identity disc was being displayed, Ostrin added, and it was discovered that Bryant did not hold an 0-licence on the day of the check.
In mitigation, Bryant said he had believed he did not need an 0-licence nor a tachograph when carrying his own goods.
