"In order to guarantee optimum road safety for all road users and acceptable working conditions for drivers, we have introduced strict standards for working and rest times and made digital tachographs (instruments that record data on drivers’ behaviour) compulsory for new vehicles weighing over 2.8 tonnes. In order to ensure greater compliance with current regulations and to avoid an increase in unnecessary checks, we should introduce new technical standards for tachographs (particularly with regard to remote controls). That is the gist of the Commission’s proposal, which, on the whole, I support. However, in order to ensure maximum safety, in my view, it is crucial to record the vehicle’s speed and weight as well as the driver’s working and rest times, as these are often contributing factors in accidents. Furthermore, to avoid imposing unnecessary administrative burdens on self-employed craftsmen, I am in favour of an exemption for vehicles used within a 100 km radius by drivers whose main occupation is not driving. I therefore supported the amendments to this effect in the vote."@en1
