Correct answer
The driver who commits the offence.
The driver who commits the offence. Article 82 places responsibility directly on the person committing the act, subject to statutory exceptions. Company ownership or being the haulier does not automatically transfer a driving offence to those people. Duties and responsibilities concerning vehicle documentation, inspections and condition, or identifying the driver, are different. This situation asks about the identified driver’s own conduct.
