IN CM 18 OCTOBER we wrongly attributed the letter headed "Why not make your drivers self-employed?" to Andrew Gale of NYK Logistics; our apologies for any embarrassment this caused. The full letter from Andrew Gale, which was in response to a report on the proposed graduated fixed penalty scheme, is published below: "Article 10 of the new Drivers' Hours Regulations (EC 561/2006) makes a transport undertaking liable for drivers' hours and tachograph offences detailed in Chapter II of the regulation and EEC 3821/85. Why will drivers be fined for hours and tacho offences under the proposed Graduated Fixed Penalty scheme; when liability for the offence appears to lie elsewhere?"
