Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has released 13 videos filmed to guide vehicle inspectors in their work. The Safer Vehicles team has been working for the past year on updating and improving the clarity of the Waka Kotahi vehicle inspection requirements manuals (VIRMs). The WoF video guide is the latest part of that work. The videos, which cover a variety of areas ranging from brake testing and beam setting to under bonnet inspections and check sheet completion, are relatively short (from two
