DRIVERS' HOURS offences and using a vehicle without an 0-licence have cost Burbage, Leicestershire-based BH Express and one of its directors, Benjamin Hunt, a total of £2,800 in fines and costs.
They failed to appear before the Harlow magistrates and the case against them was proved in their absence. BH Express was fined I ,000 with £250 costs. for having no 0-licence; Hunt was-fined a total of £1,300, with £250 costs for live offences of exceeding 41/2 hours' driving without the required breaks and one offence of exceeding 10 hours' driving.
Prosecuting for Vosa, Anthony Ostrin told the court that a vehicle belonging to the company and driven by Hum had been stopped at a roadside check. A traffic examiner noted that the vehicle, which was carrying wine, had no 0-licence identity disc displayed.
Hunt said he thought the company held an 0licence but checks confirmed that was not so. Six tachograph charts were produced by Hunt, all of which showed infringements.
On one occasion Hunt had driven for nine hours and 38 minutes without taking a legal break; on another occasion he had driven for 10 hours and 14 minutes in a 24-hour period.
