I agree with you but all the amatures are still just as capable of having accident because they are too tired and have been working all week as the proffesionals. They need to comply with the tachograph laws.

Yes you are probably right about William but I know lots of the proffesionals that don't have an O Licence. You only need an O licence if it is for hire and reward but you need to comply with all the other tachograph regulations and working time regulations if you are a private user.

Any lorry with a fitted tachograph over 7.5 tonne for any use must have a tachograph card in whenever it is used. Yes people have been prosecuted for this.

I don't know why people are shocked by these laws both me and my partner are HGV drivers and we has to comply with the laws outlined above so I don't see why horseboxes should be any different. Horseboxes drivers are just as likely to cause accidents or even death by being overworked and tired...
