Do VOSA do spot inspections of passenger carrying fleets?
Usually targeted inspections based on informed intelligence or concerns reported.
The other thing I thought of is I wonder whether they are now proactively looking for incidents from driver cam to beat staff up over to cover their own incompetence.
There was a previous union agreement that driver cam would only be used in response to a reported incident or accident, if they’re now using every single time they’re activated, whether manual or automatic it’s just another tool to beat the workforce down with, which was the concern when it was first introduced and why the agreement was put in place.
