Three drivers sent to prison for tacho fiddling
(CM 7 April) “You can stab someone, attempt to murder them and get community service, but fiddle a tacho and it’s prison. Something is wrong.”
Willmac
“I agree with Willmac: stabbing offenders get community service, but fiddle a tacho and it’s prison. In Holland, companies get fines. If 70 charts are missing, they are financially penalised.” Vallenduuk Advocaten “Doctors can exceed their hours and it’s a conscientious medic caring for his patients, even if someone dies. But it’s different for a lorry driver. There are two types of justice and what makes the difference is resources: medics earn four times what a driver does and they often have BMA backing.” ralphtheengineer
