I'm sure there was push back when tachographs were introduced, but those are commonplace now. And I imagine liability or general operating insurance could be priced to incentivise their use.
Won't stop pricks like that though, unfortunately. He even had one of those dummy seat belt clips and did all that other shit while still having a camera.
Probably the more impactful change would be for haulage companies to periodically/randomly review footage. Or have easier ability to review on a given report from the public.
I wonder what the % of privately owned HGVs is? I doubt it's statistically significant but I bet it isn't zero.

Given the amount of subcontracting that goes on in the industry, I wouldn't be surprised if it were nearly 10% (at a guess). I bet the RHA has some proper figures, if anyone is desperate to look. Certainly the % of vehicles run by small operators is high.
