DRIVERS' HOURS offences have cost a driver employed by FJ Everett Transport a total of 000 in fines and costs.
When Richard Proudfoot, of Little Gains Lane, Upminster, Essex, came before the Harlow magistrates he pleaded guilty to two offences of exceeding the daily driving limit, five offences of taking insufficient daily rest and two offences of exceeding 41/2 hours driving without taking the required break.
He was fined £50 on each offence and ordered to pay £250 prosecution costs.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for VOSA, said the offences came to light when the company was required to produce tachograph charts for two months. On two occasions Proudfoot had exceeded the daily driving limit and on one of those he had driven for 15hr 16min without taking a break.
On at least one occasion he had taken a daily rest period of no more than 5hr 14min. In a letter to the court Frond foot said he had not driven for six years and had recently taken up employment with Er Everett Transport.
The company denied 21 drivers' hours and tachograph offences — its case was adjourned for a trial to take place.
