Presentation proves popular again with road transport professionals.
IRTE Northern Centre Hon. Secretary and PSC member Neil Mitchell visited the Brunel and Western Regional Group in February to give a CPD presentation to their members and guests entitled 'Was That Avoidable'.
Neil, a DVSA Enforcement Vehicle Examiner for over 25 years, had compiled the presentation from his vast collection of video clips and photos of defects of commercial vehicles and PSV’s, found at roadside inspections and the annual MOT test.
The presentation was aimed to generate lots of interaction with guests from their perspective as transport engineers, why that defect was present on the vehicle or trailer and to establish their thoughts and conclusions.
This generated some interesting debates during the evening as the audience decided whether it was a failure by the driver to identify the defect on a daily check, poor maintenance standards or just a random failure of the component part.
An informative Q&A session rounded off the evening, before the regional group committee thanked Neil for travelling from Lancashire to give the presentation.
