IN Stockport Magistrates ordered that up to £200 of the defence costs of ARM Construction (Chorley) should be paid out of public funds after the prosecution offered no evidence about an alleged tachograph offence involving a vehicle on contract to British Telecom.
The company had denied using a vehicle with a faulty tachograph which it had failed to have repaired.
John Backhouse, defending, said it had been explained to the prosecution some time ago that the vehicle concerned had been engaged on British Telecom work, and so was exempt from the tachograph regulations. Article 4 of EC Regulations 3820/85 does not apply to vehicles used in connection with telegraph and telephone services.
