CURTHER penalties were imposed at 1 Dewsbury, last week, on Harold Wood and Sons, bulk hauliers, Heckmondwike, for hours and records offences (The Commercial Motor, January 2). They were fined £10 on each of seven charges for allowing a man to drive more than 11 hours in 24, and £5 on each of seven summonses for failing In ensure that the man kept records.

The driver himself was fined £5 on each of the summonses concerning excessive hours, ES on each of four cases of altering records with intent to deceive, and £1 in each of seven cases of not keeping records.

Mr. E. Wurzal, prosecuting, claimed that the driver had shown wrong starting times in his records and had also altered them. He had admitted, however, that his employers impressed on him that the regulations must be complied with or he would be dismissed.

For the company it was pleaded that they had done everything to try to ensure that their men kept the law, but they had to rely on the drivers themselves to have proper rest periods.

Wood's were ordered to pay £5 5s costs.
