There is no legal minimum period; however, we would suggest taking between 5 and 10 minutes to carry out a comprehensive check. Some companies adopt policies that drivers’ must take 15 minutes but there is no legal requirement for this specific period.<\/p>

Remember to insert your tachograph prior to carrying out your daily walk around check and set the mode switch to \u201ccross hammers\u201d to record the activity of other work as this is a legal requirement.<\/p>

Some operators can have doubts over the effectiveness of a driver’s daily check. This can result in ‘driver discoverable’ defects being picked up during safety inspections. Contact us<\/a> today for some free advice on how to address these issues.<\/p>

Here is\u00a0some guidance on what your daily walk around check should include.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
