| 摘要： | Undetected or ignored, mechanical or operational problems on a truck or bus are a big problem. Not only to the driver and operator, but also to other road users. DVSA has made a concerted effort over recent years to spot and deal with defective vehicles at the earliest opportunity through more careful identification and roadside inspection of those that are potentially problematic. "We know that a minority of operators don't manage maintenance properly, and annual test data shows vehicles can - and do - have defects, even when the operator knows they're going to be inspected," says Marian Kitson, director of enforcement at DVSA. The inspection process is quite involved. Firstly, DVSA traffic examiners will look at drivers' hours via downloads of tachograph activity and also check whether the driver has a CPC. They also weigh vehicles to ensure they are compliant, given how much an overloaded truck can affect braking performance. |
