Facts
The accused was charged with one count of solo driver work more than standard maximum time - critical risk. In the relevant 24-hour period, the accused had driven 14-hours, exceeding the permitted 12-hours by 2-hours. This resulted in a critical risk breach. The accused entered a plea of guilty with explanation and submitted on his personal circumstances, including his financial circumstances. The prosecution applied to make a Supervisory Intervention Order. The prosecution submitted that if the Court were minded to impose a fine as well as a Supervisory Intervention Order, it would not oppose the fine being reduced to reflect the costs associated with a Supervisory Intervention Order. Her Honour made the Supervisory Intervention Order. The Supervisory Intervention Order requires the accused to undertake training on his work diary requirements, and to purchase and use an Electronic Work Diary.
