Rising Cost of Motor Insurance: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Ms Verona Murphy:

The tachograph is the recording device of drivers' hours. We are heavily regulated throughout the EU and it is readily policed in both Ireland and across the EU. If one is involved in an incident, the first thing one is asked for is one's tachograph record. Our main concern is that if Brexit takes effect in the way in which we envisage it with borders, migration and passport control, that regulation will no longer be fit for purpose because it will put our members in jeopardy of trying to make deadlines that had previously been realistic but going forward, due to Brexit, will no longer be so. There is a risk that they will still try to make those deadlines. That is the problem.
