Last week I spoke at the very well attended RHA Compliance Conference. During the presentation (available below), I looked at the potential for technology to ensure compliance and lead to performance improvements across an operator’s business with tachograph data, vehicle walk around checks, compliance, driving style and safety all discussed.
During the conference the DVSA also unveiled its plan to roll out its Remote Enforcement Office and Earned Recognition Scheme nationally. It announced that its next generation enforcement, which has already been trialed on a regional basis, will lead to less roadside stops for compliant operators and will use existing data captured by tachograph and telematics technology already in place. It seems that technology continues to play a central role in our industry.
Alongside the DVSA, The One Show’s Dr Sarah Jarvis looked at health issues and other topics included the RHA’s future direction, news from the Traffic Commissioner, legal and employment advice, drug driving and national driver offender retraining.
