can put "Apprehensive's" mind at rest on some of the problems he raised concerning tachographs in Commercial Motor May 31.
1. Lucas Kienzle are now taking orders for both the one-driver and the two-crew-member types of EEC tachograph.
2. Tachographs offer benefits in their own right — with or without legislation. If "Apprehensive" can believe this, then it Would appear to be good policy to fit now.
3. Trade union policy is formulated by drivers and will change as more and more drivers gain experience with the instrument. Operators can help by discussing the tachograph with their drivers. Meanwhile, the tachograph can be used as a speedometer with the driver being given possession of the instrument key (and a pack of charts).
To summarize, "Apprehensive" can become confident by specifying an EEC instrument now, and by making a start on the quite understandable human relations problems that may follow, without any detrimental effects on the operation of his fleet, and with the near certainty of improvements in operational efficiency in the future.
