This unit is concerned with the importance of legal requirements for rigorous, structured daily or pre shift maintenance checks carried out by the driver before the depot is left. The unit clearly defines that where a poorly maintained vehicle has been detected, an offence has been committed and both the driver and the owner/operator of the vehicle are liable to prosecution.
Large Goods Vehicle safety is one of the prime objectives of The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and the agency is proactive at ensuring safe vehicle condition through strict enforcement. With the introduction of The Roadside Fixed Graduated Penalty System, it’s now more important for Drivers to ensure that their vehicles are roadworthy and above all safe.
