Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

offences could come into force late this year, although it seems more likely this will not happen until early next year now. As the name suggests, the penalties will be graduated depending on the severity of the offence. Backhouse urged operators to ensure drivers informed them if they were issued with a penalty. They did have a right to contest the

penalty; moreover, if an operator were to amass a lot of penalty points indirectly through its drivers, it would probably be called to public inquiry.
