A £300 DVSA fine may not be the worst thing that can happen at a UK roadside check.

The latest DVSA enforcement policy shows how one stop can lead to deposits, immobilisation, 28-day tachograph checks, operator follow-up — or even court.

This is a must-read for every trucker driving in the UK: https://trans.info/en/new-dvsa-rulebook-475018

Driving a cross-border van without a tachograph after 1 July could cost you thousands, in some countries, penalties can reach €30,000.

From 1 July 2026, vans over 2.5 tonnes used for international hire-and-reward work must have a smart tachograph fitted.

Read the article to see how close the deadline is and why operators are already running out of time.

If you're driving goods vehicles over 2.5 tonnes on international runs between the UK and EU for hire and reward, this one's for you.

From 1 July 2026, vehicles like yours will need a smart tachograph 2 fitted, and you'll need to follow the same drivers' hours rules that HGV drivers already work to.

These rules are there to protect your health and safety on the road. Getting a booking for a tachograph fitting takes around 4 to 6 weeks on average, and with July coming around faster than you'd think, now is the time to get it sorted. Leaving it to the last minute could mean you're not road-legal for international jobs.

Not sure if this affects you? If you're only driving within the UK, or doing international trips for your own account where driving isn't your main job, you're not in scope.

🚨 HGV DRIVER BANNED OVER TACHO FRAUD 🚨

A haulage boss and HGV driver has had his licence revoked indefinitely after being caught using another driver’s tachograph card dozens of times.

The driver was found to have used a colleague’s card on around 30 occasions — including trips abroad — and also drove multiple times with no card at all. On one occasion, he drove for over an hour without recording any data.

Authorities concluded he had likely driven while fatigued on several occasions, posing a serious risk to other road users ⚠️

The transport manager at the time also came under scrutiny, with findings suggesting she would have faced a lengthy disqualification had she been formally listed on the licence.

The issues first came to light following a DVSA investigation, which uncovered a complete lack of systems to monitor drivers’ hours and comply with working time rules.

No action was taken against the operator’s licence itself, as the company has since changed ownership.
