Wales haulier Glyn John Transport 270 in fines and costs when the company appeared before the Ross-on-Wye magistrates.
The Cardiff-based company admitted the offence, and Nicola Walker, prosecuting for the West Midland Traffic Area, said that traffic examiners had noticed that one of the company's vehicles, stopped in a weight check on 3 December, did not have any spray suppression equipment. Under the regulations the vehicle should have been fitted with such equipment by 1 October 1987. • For the company, Geoffrey Williams said it had had problems obtaining sufficient equipment to fit all its vehicles by the due date — a problem that had been general in the haulage industry. The whole fleet had been fitted with the required equipment by the end of 1987.
