MOS will be the result if the !w EEC drivers' hours gulations are enforced on nuary 1, warned Freight ansport Association esident Ian Philips at the 'A Scottish annual dinner on tesday.
Hie emphasised that a period education would be cessary rather than Forcement.
V1r Phillips warned that nsport had a reputation for xibility, but it could not nform to regulations that not been announced.
knd he warned that Dtland would be particularly rd hit by the new rules tich would include the )km limit on a day's driving.
motorways this was "absurd" he said — and so was exemption from the rule if a tachograph was in use.
Mr Phillips warned that the economic effects of the new rules would be very serious and the significance of the introduction of the regulations could not be measured by cash costs alone.
The disruptive effects on distribution systems were "frightening," he said. Schedules would have to be completely changed and new trade union negotiations done at a time when there were problems with the Pay Code.
Why had the Council of Ministers insisted on the 450km rule? The answer was that we had to pay for our successes in other fields somehow.
