I dont know anything about the case brought against the firm but if they have been driving over their hours and ignoring set break times and the number of hours between driving each week it will all show up on the Tacho maybe a driver was pulled in by VOSA for a check on the road side and they asked to see his Tacho i know years ago when i was a wagon driver we had to keep a weeks worth in the cab and every Friday hand them in to the Transport Manager so if VOSA or as it was in those days Dept of Transport visited they could see we had stuck to the law concering hours they have been lots of drivers been caught out months later for speeding driving over their hours when VOSA have visited and checked their Tachos.I am quite surprised a high profile firm like Snaiths have been up to this sort of thing as they seem very high profile.
