Issues Facing the Road Haulage Industry: Irish Road Haulage Association
2:00 am
Mr. Paul Jackman:
We are all driving modern cars that have lane assist and trucks that have emergency braking assist and electronic stability control. The new trucks now have GSR, which is a safety package within the cabin. The mobility package has been passed in Europe and affects tachograph rules. None of that is in our CPC, so the CPC is always behind where the industry is. The RSA, having failed in that regard, has the authority to fine and bring to court a driver on the road who, out of a lack of knowledge, may have an infringement on his tachograph.
