Northern Safety Camera Partnership Manager, Dougie Bennion, said: “Business owners have a legal responsibility to know who is driving their vehicles at any time.  Apart from this legal requirement it is good Health and Safety practice for both business owners and drivers to log details of all journeys.

“To help small businesses to keep accurate records we are offering free vehicle log books for use in company vehicles.  These log books enable business owners to keep track of vehicle use and to stay within the law.  Drivers also benefit from this initiative in that it ensures that they will not be blamed for any irresponsible driving by others.

“Further information and supplies of log books can be obtained by going to http://www.transportlog.co.uk and completing the online order form.”

All our camera sites have a proven history of collisions and evidence of speeding vehicles.  We may from time to time use mobile cameras at other sites where both vehicle and road users are at greater risk, such as road works.
