Ashtons Legal Road Transport Briefing
November 5, 2024 @ 8:30 am - 2:30 pm
Ashtons Legal are pleased to announce our latest Road Transport Briefing, this time at Trinity Park, Ipswich, on Tuesday 5 November 2024.
Programme
As always, the focus of our Road Transport Briefing is compliance, operator licensing and roadside enforcement, with legal updates.
We are pleased that, once again, the Senior Traffic Commissioner and East of England Traffic Commissioner, Richard Turfitt, will be speaking. This provides an invaluable chance to hear about current issues of concern and how operators can address them.
In addition, DVSA will be providing an update concerning roadside enforcement as well as developments in regulation and policy concerning autonomous vehicles as they relate to commercial vehicles, where specific issues and problems arise.
Mark Cartwright, Head of Commercial Vehicle Incident Prevention at National Highways, will provide a session considering research and trends relating to the role of drivers. Whilst there may be highly compliant maintenance systems in place, is there sufficient focus on the driver, for example?
Ashtons Legal will provide legal briefings covering employment and road transport-related topics.
Please note that this provisional programme may be subject to change.
