摘要

The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) says that overloading continues to be one of the most frequent offences for HGVs, ranking alongside tachograph and drivers' hours offences. It is a serious health and safety issue because it increases braking distances in an emergency and makes the vehicle more difficult to control. Overloaded vehicles also cause extra wear and tear on the road network and VOSA is taking the issue very seriously.rnAccording to the Road Traffic Act, overloading yourrnvehiclernis an absolute offence. This means that an offence is committed even where the driver or operator had no knowledge of the overloading. Beware if someone else loads the vehicle as the consignor can (and often does) state the weight incorrectly. Wherever possible get the consignor to confirm the cargo weight in writing and make sure that this information is printed on the weight bill, as this can be used as evidence in mitigation. If your vehicle is stopped and directed to arnweighing site and is then found to be overweight, the driverrnand anv other personrnwho permits thernuse of thernvehicle may be liable for prosecution.rnIn addition, the authorised officer will issue a prohibition notice making it illegal for the vehicle to travel on the road. This notice must be cleared in writing before the vehicle can proceed and it is up to you to meet the costs of offloading excess weight safely.
