VOSA
receives new powers
The Vehicle Operator and Services Agency (VOSA )in the UK
has been given new powers to issue roadside fixed penalty
notices against foreign lorry operators for a range of offences
such as breaking driving hours, weight or vehicle safety regulations.
The new on-the-spot fines apply to anyone without a satisfactory
UK address and means that foreign drivers from outside the
UK will no longer be able to escape punishment.
VOSA statistics show that foreign lorries are more often overweight,
over hours and less roadworthy.
