What is a Notice to Produce - and why does it matter?
A Notice to Produce is a formal legal demand, usually issued by the NHVR or police, requiring you to hand over records, documents, or other information related to your operations or a specific incident.
It is not optional.
Failing to respond correctly, or responding in a way that exposes you, can result in a criminal charge. Many drivers and companies don’t realise that how you respond to a Notice to Produce can significantly affect whether you end up in court.
Getting legal advice before you respond is not overcautious. It is the right move.
The risks
What happens if you get it wrong
Risk 01
You could hand over more than you need to.
There are limits on what you are legally required to produce. Without advice, many drivers and companies volunteer information that puts them at far greater risk. Once it’s handed over, it’s handed over.
Risk 02
You could miss the deadline.
Notices to Produce have strict timeframes. Missing them, even accidentally, can result in a separate criminal charge, entirely independent of whatever triggered the original notice.
Risk 03
You could turn an investigation into a prosecution.
Responding without legal advice has turned manageable investigations into criminal proceedings. The way you respond shapes what happens next. Don’t let a wrong step close off your options.
About Megan
Megan knows this process from both sides.
Before founding Big Rig Law, Megan Allanson worked on the prosecution side of heavy vehicle law. She understands how investigators build their case, what they are looking for in a Notice to Produce response, and how to protect your position before you put a single word in writing.
Big Rig Law handles these matters exclusively. This is all we do. You won’t be speaking to a generalist who happens to know a little about transport law.

“On your side when the system isn’t.”
Heavy vehicle law is a specialist area. A general practitioner won’t know the nuances of NHVR investigations, what you’re obligated to produce, and what protections you have. Megan does — and she’s in your corner.
