PSV and LGV operators face pressure from numerous regulators, from health and safety and general road traffic law compliance to the additional threat of VOSA enforcement action whether in court or before the Road Traffic Commissioner.
A vehicle stopped and detained by the authorities can have serious consequences including delayed shipments, breaches of contract and regulatory action.
