What Will happen To This Guy?

[krussel]

you say he got 3 points today how many does he have now as i think ya only allowed 6 to work for royal mail for insurance i might be wrong.

Never mind the points does this not carry up to a £2500 fine


There was aposter in the tyre shop claiming this when i was having some fitted a couple of months ago

Edit.

With bald tyres, worn brakes, broken lights or other defect, you can be fined. A bald tyre carries a fine of £2,500. If your defective vehicle kills someone, you can be jailed.

I think its £60 and 3 points if you pay up and the £2500 is if it gets to court, but as this is a RM van and not a private car will they come down heavy.

The guy could be in serious poop here.

It's when the tyres are down to the metal threads that you really need to change them.

I thought it was 3 points per tyre saying that he would lose his licence so perhaps I am wrong but like many have said the 15 mins on Monday then 10 mins per day after that means there is NO EXCUSE to spot faults on your van, I lift the bonnet every day and check levels then check the rest of the van like seat belts tyres lights etc it is the easiest part of the day.

Police can only give you three points there and then, if you have more than one bald tyre its ususally a court case and then you can get more points and a bigger fine.

vehicle checks are emphasised, the decision will be in the doms hands, i hope you have a good one.

he will be fine

you as the driver are responsible for daily and weekly checks .If the van is passed over to another driver it is his responsibility to do duty checks which is the same as the daily checks .Managers are supposed to do vehicle checks , how many depends on the size of the fleet but he is as responsible as the driver to at least check the vans at least once a week.

he will be fine
