Daily checks

The daily checks that should be made to your Vehicle are

driver responsibilities weather it is your vehicle or a company

vehicle, you as the driver are responsible for carrying out these

checks, not doing so could result in a prosecution a bit further

down the road,

TYRES, should be checked before moving the vehicle, they should

be checked for, cuts bubbles or serious scuffs to the wall of the

tyres, if any of these exist the fault should be rectified before 

moving the vehicle,

LIGHTS, All lights should be working, lenses should be clean and free from cracks

REMEMBER, it is an  OFFENCE to drive a vehicle at any

time with a faulty brake light.

Weekly checks

OIL WATER SCREEN WASH BRAKE FLUID

these items should be checked before starting the engine

WIPERS, should also be checked for split or broken rubbers,

when the ignition is switched on check the dashboard lights

are working and no unusual lights are showing if they are

the fault should be rectified before moving the vehicle

also you should you have sufficient fuel for your journey.

Dealing with flat tyres/punctures

 should you get a flat tyre

it should be changed as soon as possible, do not stop on a

busy road where you would put your self or any other road

user in danger, you should continue and turn into the first

side road to change the wheel, make sure you put on a yellow

vest, one should always be carried in your vehicle, again it is

a driver responsibility to stop in a safe place.
