Due to new Government legislation as from August 2004 new digital tachographs will have
to be fitted to all new vehicles. This may come down to all current vehicles having to be fit-
ted with these new tachographs as well.
These tachographs will only work if you have the new card type driving licence with your
photograph on it. You have to feed the card into the machine to make it work, so to make
sure that we are prepared for this if you have the old style paper licence then please think
about getting the new type. The tachographs will as now, only have to be used when mov-
ing vehicles that have not broken down or involved in an accident.

LONDON CONGESTION CHARGES
Well done to Steve Adamson on passing his HGV 1 test The London congestion charges costs the company £5 per vehicle when we enter the area,
if we don’t pay then it costs us £40 in a fine. The congestion charge applies from 07:00 to
18:30 Monday to Friday excluding public holidays. You will know when you are entering
the area as there are signs informing you of this. Please contact the control room before
you enter if it is between the times above, there is no charge at the weekends.
