Transport

As any HGV or PCV operator knows (and as many know to their cost!) the transport industry is very heavily regulated, and whether the business runs 1  vehicle or 50 or 500, it is essential to have a good working knowledge of Road Traffic and Transport Law.  However, even the most careful and conscientious operator can make a mistake, which may result in an unwelcome prosecution and the need for an appearance in Court.

 No matter how great or small the problem may seem to be, Rothera Dowson will always be pleased to advise you on:

• Representation in the Courts
• Absolute liability offences
• Defences and mitigation
• Drivers’ hours and tachographs
• Overloading
• Insecure/dangerous loads
• Vehicle defects

Contact us if either you or your drivers have received a summons, or a prosecution seems likely
