<p>In the year 2016/17, a total of 854 prosecutions were brought for tachograph and
record keeping offences, of which 667 led to a conviction. These offences include
infringements such as failure to use the tachograph correctly. In the same year, there
were a further 1,066 prosecutions for drivers’ hours offences (such as exceeding maximum
driving times), of which 1,034 led to a conviction. Only the most serious breaches
of these rules tend to be taken to prosecution, with a far greater number being dealt
with by graduated fixed penalties.</p>
