Facts
The defendant was charged with 5 counts of making false or misleading entries 325 HVNL and a count of provide false document 702 HVNL. The defendant had a number of prior convictions, three of which were similar to the conduct charged. The Prosecution submitted that an order of the court modifying his MC licence by precluding the driver driving a HV outside of 100km of his driver’s base will ensure he does not hold a duty of accurately filling out a work diary, thus avoiding further offending. Balancing that, he can still be gainfully employed working as a HV driver within the 100km for local freight.
As reported by NHVR.
