Overloading – Driver Gets Absolute Discharge
Our client was prosecuted by DVSA following a roadside stop in his company vehicle. The vehicle was found to be overloaded and it was determined that a Tachograph should have been installed and used because of the size of the vehicle. Laura Newton represented the driver at Court and persuaded the Magistrates to deal with the offences by an Absolute Discharge. The Court agreed that this driver was acting in good faith under his employer’s instructions and should not be punished for these offences.
