Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I'm really not clued up on this area of the law, but I imagine it depends.

If the driver was the same one that took the vehicle out in the morning, and did the first use walkround check, then I'd imagine he would get a fine. (Walkround check possibly should have picked the issue up.)

However, if he's relieved the vehicle later in the day then I don't think he's required to carry out a walk round check and therefore has a defence that he was unaware of the defects.

Knowing VOSA though, they'll probably fine both company and driver anyway.
