(1) Main Roads Transport Inspectors check vehicles for compliance across a number of aspects. Vehicles that were non-compliant, but did not receive a work order or road worthiness caution, would have been non-compliant in one or more of the following areas:
· Overload offences;
· Dimension offences;
· Load restraint offences;
· Permit offences;
· Licensing offences;
· Dangerous goods offences; and
· Fatigue management offences
Breaches are actioned according to the severity of the offence and may result in a written caution, infringement notice or prosecution.
