| As part of Road Safety Week, we are releasing data on drivers' hours offences picked up by our enforcement teams at the roadside. The offences will be listed against operator name and operator licence number. While many operators take road safety very seriously, we need to protect you and other road users from those who don't. To help us do this, we plan to share non-compliance data more widely on a wide range of road safety issues to encourage all operators to stay legal and safe on our roads.
What the data tells us The data shows that some operators are persistent offenders, with EU operators receiving the majority of prohibitions. Some overseas operators have hundreds of offences against their operator licence. DVSA has developed targeting regimes that make it less commercially viable to continue to operate in this way and is working with officials in the worst offending countries to help address this. Limitations of the data
This data only shows offences detected at the roadside by DVSA. It does not yet include the offences DVSA found during visits to operator sites or on desk-based assessments which will increase the total number of GB operator offences. With limited access to non-GB sites or documentation on overseas vehicle compliance, DVSA targets 31% of roadside checks at British registered operators and 69% at overseas operators. Operators, whether registered in Britain or oversees, will range in size. Larger operators, with more lorries could naturally be represented in the statistics more than smaller operators. The data does not include any offences picked up by the police. The prohibitions shown in this data are ones that you will have already been sent copies of (through our normal process). Any dispute of the prohibition should therefore have already been dealt with. We will keep you updated about other data we will be releasing in the coming year and thank you for your part in keeping our country operating and roads safe. |
