Holy crap are you serious?!!

15MINS?! We haven't got that amount of free time on any day. We do a cursory 1 min check. It is all we have time for.

To comply with our O’ Licence maintenance obligations (that affect all vehicles, and not just those O’ Licensed), Royal Mail has committed to maintain its vehicle fleet to a standard agreed with the Department of Transport.

In addition, duty of care to our people and other road users and members of the public, as well as the Health & Safety at Work Act, mean Royal Mail must ensure all drivers are aware of their responsibilities.

To maintain vehicles in a roadworthy condition, it is the legal responsibility of every driver to carry out basic safety and maintenance checks every time a vehicle is used.

Royal Mail will ensure that sufficient time is included in all P318/Driving Duty Schedules to allow drivers to perform pre-use safety checks on their vehicles and cleaning (where necessary).

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
