The Traffic Commissioners for Great Britain: Annual Report to the Secretary of State 2020-2021 focused on some key legislative areas where operators are required to act responsibly. THE COMPREHENSIVE reports says that ‘even during the reduced sittings of last year, a concerning pattern has emerged where the maintenance of trailers has been an issue’.
Traffic commissioners (TCs) previously reported on improvements to brake test results at annual tests of heavy commercial vehicles, and they added that ‘considerable effort by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and other stakeholders to make roller brake test reports accessible to all, has sadly passed by a number of operators who seem oblivious to the support available from the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness’.
All trailer operators are urged by TCs to ‘implement the guidance’.
