Полиция Южной Австралии запретила эксплуатацию грузовиков уличного оператора из-за критических нарушений безопасности

South Australia Police has taken significant compliance action against a South Australian heavy vehicle operator following an extensive investigation by the Heavy Vehicle Enforcement Section (HVES). The investigation identified a pattern of serious non-compliance involving heavy vehicles operating with major safety defects, including defects affecting critical vehicle systems. Investigators also identified circumstances where vehicles were allegedly operated contrary to defect notices. As a result, SAPOL formed the reasonable belief that the continued operation of these vehicles posed an immediate and serious risk to the safety of road users. On Thursday 3 September, HVES officers, supported by partner agencies, attended the operator's premises at Waterloo Corner and served a prohibition notice under section 576A of the Heavy Vehicle National Law. The prohibition notice restricts the use of multiple heavy vehicles and prevents the transfer or disposal of those vehicles without appropriate authorisation. During the operation, officers conducted further inspections of heavy vehicles located at the premises, resulting in the detection of numerous additional safety defects. 231094
