MI The Vehicle Inspectorate plans more investigations into companies breaking the drivers' hours regulations. The crackdown is among targets for the next 12 months listed in its new Business Plan.
Although the volume of work handled by VI staff will be about the same as last year, it is planning to reallocate resources to allow more complex, timeconsuming investigations of firms ignoring hours limits.
As part of the normal programme of roadside checks, some 230,000 vehicles will be examined; more than 1.5 million tachograph charts will be checked; and 65,000 trucks will be weighed.
Other areas of development include the issuing of test certificates at the end of the test lane and the development of special tests for low-emission diesels.
