THE FALSIFICATION of tachograph charts has cost a Margate driver £800 in fines and costs.
When Sidney Page. of Balmoral Road, Margate. appeared before the Epping magistrates he pleaded guilty to two charges of making a false tachograph record. He was lined £250 on each offence with £300 costs.
The magistrates imposed no separate penalty after Page admitted failing to take sufficient weekly rest and three further offences of insufficient daily rest.
Anthony Ostrin. prosecuting for VOSA, said a number of infringements had been found on Page's charts and two charts had been falsified: the first had no driver's name; on the second chart Page had entered a false name. Page had admitted that both charts were false. On the first chart he was aware that he had failed to take his daily rest: on the second chart he had failed to take his weekly rest. For Page, Jeremy Fear said he had been suffering severe domestic difficulties and had wanted to get home: "In respect of the first chart his aged mother had been taken ill and in respect of the second his son's partner had attempted suicide.
