Coach defect pop quiz anyone? Would you drive on this with a 400 mile day planned? (that included driving on farmers

Thanks guys. I’d already VOR’d off my checks and tyre fitter was on it. Posted purely out of curiosity for how everyone else in the industry would read that (AKA I’m covering my back )

Rather than ask the self-proclaimed experts, call the fitter / traffic office, or if you can't do that refer to Section 8 of the PSV inspection manual (readily available online) which will tell you what you need to know;

Traffic office sometimes still would send the vehicle just to make it run. It's a no go, cut it too long and too deep to be safe.

It's never has and never will be the Traffic Office's decision to run it or not.

That's up to driver anyway.
