The RHA consistently monitors new legislation and is regularly consulted by authorities both central and local in the preparation of many of their plans and proposals. New laws are subject to thorough scrutiny and evidence is submitted by the Association on most matters. especially where legislation is loosely formed and likely to be badly enacted.
One of the RHA's main responsibilities is to protect its members from the perils outlined by the writer. It is not clear whether he is or is not a member of the Association but if
he can produce evidence of un-fl or unjust enforcement, the
RHA's Technical Committee will certainly take up the matter with the Department of Transport.
The RHA frequently makes candid comments to the Department and speaks plainly to the Government about the proposed new laws, enforcement of existing laws or any other objectionable activities at the testing stations. Member hauliers have every opportunity of benefiting from the Association's expertise and con tacts in this and many other fields of activity.
