HC Deb 02 December 1985 vol 88 cc104-5W
17. Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has considered using tachograph evidence to enforce speed restriction for buses and lorries.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The evidence needed to support prosecutions for speeding is a matter for chief officers of police, but I understand there may be some legal and technical difficulties in using tachograph charts as evidence. The proposed requirement to fit coaches with speed governors will help enforce compliance with motorway speed limits.
