Details

You must carry out a daily walkaround check to see if your PSV is safe to drive, and record the results of the check.

You must carry out at least one walkaround check of the whole vehicle every 24 hours, usually before you drive it.

Daily walkaround checks are part of having an effective vehicle maintenance system.
