OPERATORS in Scotland are more likely to find themselves attending a public inquiry next year if their maintenance arrangements are not up to scratch. .• This applies to the keeping of records as well as the condition of their vehicles.
Licensing Authority, Mr. A. B. Birnie, is being made aware, through its vehicle examiners, of a mounting laxity by operators in fulfilling the obligations undertaken when making their 0 licence applications, and will intensify his efforts to impress on them the importance of this.
T-tie tendency will be, therefore, for more erring operators to be called to a public inquiry The importance of proper records was stressed to CM this week, by Mr A. McDar mid, the Clerk to the LA. He said that though an operator's vehicles might be in an acceptable condition when examined, an absence of records could suggest that their condition between inspections leaves much to be desired.
Operators who have contracts with garages for the inspection and maintenance of thbir vehicles, should not remain under the misapprehension that they have delegated their responsibility, to the garage concerned.
