Drivers break law to beat recession

RECESSION can get to all of us: the pressure on costs; the pressure on time; the pressure to make money. But breaking the law shouldn't be on the agenda - but that's not the case, as our lead story highlights. Of course, keeping business costs in check would be easier without the Chancellor's unhelpful rise in fuel duty that's eroding AMAP values (click picture, right). So make use of our reader offers: a book to manage your company cars - at no cost to you - and a great value Hyundai contract hire offer.
