Background

We want the Government to review the enforcement of rules for vehicle transporters and trailers, ensuring compliance with insurance, tax, O Licence, and tachograph regulations, creating fair competition, improving enforcement, and preventing illegal operators from undercutting legitimate businesses.

Additional details

Illegal vehicle transporters operate without proper insurance, O Licences, tax, or tachographs, unfairly undercutting legal businesses that follow regulations. This creates unsafe conditions and financial strain on compliant operators. We think government should review how rules are enforced to ensure only legally compliant transporters operate, improving road safety and fair competition. We urge the Government to act to protect legitimate businesses and uphold industry standards.
