Fleet bosses operating in Northern Ireland who appreciate a good risk management strategy needs to be complemented by effective legislation may welcome the fact O-licensing regulations are to be introduced in the country.
The plans were announced by minister for the environment Edwin Poots at a Freight Transport Association (FTA) seminar in Newcastle.
He explained the new regulations should become law in 2010.
FTA welcomed the announcement and claimed it will help to repair the damage caused to the reputation of the industry in Northern Ireland by non-compliant fleet operators.
Head of policy for the region Tom Wilson stated: "O-licensing is well overdue and will improve the overall safety standards of all commercial vehicles on our roads making the roads a safer place to travel for everyone."
In other news, FTA recently announced it has set up its own Twitter feed. The organisation explained it is keen to keep its finger on the pulse of all the latest technologies.
