Recommendations
I recommend that operators should be reminded to comply with their operator’s licence and that positive steps should be taken swiftly to enforce such compliance.
I recommend that operators be reminded when carrying out brake tests on public roads to carefully assess the proposed locus prior to commencing their tests.
I also recommend that operators should be warned of the dangers of conducting such tests when it is dark.
I recommend that the regulations regarding parking of trailers on public roads be emphasised in police and traffic warden training.
At the very least, any relevant sections of the minutes of these meetings should be circulated to VOSA.
