Building a solid case is a critical skill set for those in commercial motor vehicle safety enforcement who conduct investigations. Sign up for our Nov. 7 webinar to learn about the types of evidence that can be collected, as well as the elements of proof required to be met to take enforcement action. We’ll also discuss interview techniques and scenarios to demonstrate best practices for evidence collection. https://lnkd.in/e2kjKhtX

The SpanSet team were recently invited by Sergeant Peter Snook, Commercial Vehicle Unit (Abnormal Loads) Lancashire Constabulary to attend one of the regular Roadside HGV Check Days at Cuerden Enforcement Site near Preston. This was an opportunity for the Police, National Highways and DVSA to learn about the latest load control innovations and industry best practice. It was an opportunity for the SpanSet team to experience what was happening on the roads and ensure they stay relevant and up to date. The purpose of the day was not to catch drivers out but to educate – to help protect both drivers and the public from unsafe loads. Read the full article to see how many vehicles were compliant with relevant legislation and how many required load security adjustment and/or Load security Prohibition notices served where appropriate and proportionate, and see examples of poorly secured loads - warning you will be shocked!

When we see incidents like this, we think of our towing course, specifically why people simply don't engage in training when they are going to start towing. You can't possibly know how to safely tow without learning the right way. People often prioritize backing their trailer but loading and other factors like safe hitching are equally important. Sadly when an incident like this occurs it is all too late. STC Education https://lnkd.in/g8C53eys
