Recital 12
(12) In order to ensure undistorted competition between operators and to improve the detection of infringements, Member States should, by …6, take specific measures to identify vehicles or vehicle combinations in circulation that are likely to have exceeded the relevant weight limits and should therefore be checked. Such identification may be carried out by means of weighing mechanisms built into the road infrastructure, or by means of on- board sensors in vehicles that communicate data remotely to the relevant authorities. Such on-board data should be made available also to the driver. Every year each Member State should perform an appropriate number of vehicle weight checks. The number of such checks should be proportionate to the total number of vehicles inspected each year in the Member State concerned. __________________ 6+ OJ: Please, insert the date: six years from the entry into force of this amending Directive.
