The safety inspections are carried out in a suitably marked vehicle, usually with 2 people – one safety inspector and one driver. The vehicle is driven in accordance with the road type and speed suitable to the conditions.
During the Covid pandemic (April – July 2020) this inspection was carried out with 1 person – a safety inspector who was also the driver. At this time the inspection was driven in both directions to ensure all defects were recorded.
