A recent commercial vehicle inspection resulted in more than 400 violations in Delta.

In late June, the Delta Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit partnered with various other enforcement agencies to enhance commercial vehicle road safety.

The operation focused on commercial vehicles that may not be properly maintained and could pose hazards on the roads. Inspections prioritized critical aspects such as mechanical components and driver qualifications, specifically assessing brakes, tires, lights, steering, load security, driver licensing compliance, and driver fatigue.

During the two-day initiative, 84 vehicles were inspected, predominantly light commercial vans, pick-up trucks, small delivery vehicles, trades vehicles, as well as some larger commercial vehicles.

Among the 84 commercial vehicles inspected, a total of 403 violations were recorded during the two-day operation.

As a result, 49 vehicles (58 per cent) were deemed unfit for service and required immediate repairs before proceeding, while 17 violation tickets were issued to the vehicles’ operators.
