The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) will be attending the 2008 Brighton Coach Rally from 19 -20 April.
VOSA experts will be on hand to provide advice on the recent changes to legislation, including digital tachographs and drivers’ hour’s rules.
Kevin Rooney, VOSA Customer Director said:
“We're always keen to take the opportunity to meet operators. Attending the rally shows that we don't just focus on the non-compliant. The very best operators play a strong role in increasing the profile and professionalism of the industry. Their actions move the whole industry's compliance and safety performance up a step.”
VOSA will also be offering its support on the judging panel.
