What should be done prior to conducting a pre-drive inspection?

Reviewing the previous inspection report is a crucial step before conducting a pre-drive inspection, especially for commercial vehicles. This report provides valuable information about any issues or concerns that were flagged during the last inspection. By understanding the vehicle's recent history, a driver can be more vigilant in checking for specific problems that may persist or recur. It helps ensure that any necessary repairs or maintenance have been addressed and gives insight into how the vehicle has been performing. This preparation allows for a more informed and thorough pre-drive inspection, ultimately promoting safety and compliance with regulations.
