Vehicle Examination
Heavy Goods Vehicles and Passenger Carrying Vehicles involved in Road Traffic Collisions are always subject to media attention, due to the sheer size of the vehicles and the potential catastrophes to the environment.
Therefore, fully detailed examinations are essential to determine blame, whether the driver has caused it or it has been caused by some mechanical defect either through poor maintenance of a manufacturing problem. In the latter case, the manufacturers need to be aware so that components do not fail again, hence the reason for manufacturers re-calls.

In order to protect your interests it is vital your representatives are in a position to independently assess all the evidence that is available without total reliance upon the enforcement authorities interpretation of the facts. Too few operators take the opportunity afforded to them under this ruling when vital evidence could be missed.
