BBC report increase in tachograph tampering

The BBC reported a rise in lorry tachograph tampering on UK roads.   Over 440 lorries coming to the UK last year were found with manipulated tachographs, with the DVSA believing actual numbers to be much higher

Did you know:  DVSA carried out 223,000 roadside checks between April 2016 and March 2017.  There was a 21% increase in the number of drivers found with manipulated tachographs compared to the previous year.

I feel passionate about exposing drivers/companies who flout the law, breach tachograph rules and use magnets to disable the tachograph. Not only is this unfair competition, but such companies/drivers are a danger on the road and bring our industry into disrepute.
