The
performance of this company is based on 30 years of dealing with the
Drivers Hours Legislation and chart analysis.
The company was formed in the late eighties on the retirement from the
Staffordshire Police of two supervisory officers who had formulated the
policies, for that Force, in relation to serious traffic offences and
specifically Drivers Hours Offences.
In particular ALAN BRYS
spent 8 years on the Traffic Division of the Staffordshire Police Force,
covering trunk roads and the M6 motorway, half of that time
in a supervisory role. It was during this time that he was responsible for the formulation of
policies in relation to the prosecution of tachograph offences. The
Staffordshire Police at that time were recognised as being in the
forefront of Tachograph legislation enforcement.
Due
to this expertise he was selected from the whole force by the then Deputy
Chief Constable to work as the traffic expert within the Administrative
Support Unit, with specific responsibility for the prosecution of serious
traffic offences including tachograph offences. On the introduction
of the current legislation in he prepared a breakdown of this
legislation, which was circulated Force wide.
Since
the formation of the company we have provided chart analysis for all sizes
of haulage concerns and have been consulted on the drivers hours
legislation by solicitors, barristers and professional organisations.
We
have been involved as expert witnesses in the defence of hundreds of
offences against both drivers and companies and have only ever lost one
case. Our greatest achievement was to have a case involving 112
offences and over 20 drivers reduced to only 8 offences against 3 drivers,
who were eventually given conditional discharges. On every other
occasion we have been successful in having the number of offences reaching
the court either reduced or completely dismissed.
We
have always sought to provide the most accurate analysis at competitive prices, aiming to give our clients comprehensive
information regarding breaches of the legislation by their drivers.
We
are now fully conversant with the downloading of driver's cards and
digital vehicle units and the operation of the software to analyse
this data.
We
provide training in analogue and digital analysis, as well as
working in association with partner companies, operating with our
help and guidance, in these areas.
