VOSA shows off new mobile checking technology. I've just returned from one of the FTA's fleet management conferences at Warrington today where Mike Smith, senior examiner at VOSA was demonstrating the new hand-held monitoring device the agency is set to roll out to its team of roadside and test station officials. It's a nifty piece of kit which will ensure the roadside checkers have all the information literally to hand when they pull trucks over. This single device can check digital tachos, draw on VOSA's database of intelligence and will hand out fixed penalty notices when the legislation is passed - possibly first quarter next year.
