NSW authorities are continuing their zero tolerance towards heavy vehicle defects on the Hume Highway. Two B-Double trucks were stopped for inspection on January 3 and January 7, according to an article on Fullyloaded. The first truck was carrying a load of mixed dangerous goods which was not properly secured and the tyres and brakes were also found to be defective. The driver received fines to the value of $1,172. The second vehicle stopped on January 7th, was at Pheasants Nest on the highway. Officers who inspected the vehicle found that it had unsecured items on board and the truck’s limiter was non-compliant. The limiter had been tampered with, allowing the truck to exceed the 100k/h speed limit.
