POWDER Checklist - every day?
Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2015 8:38 pm
I took my first RoADAR test today and achieved a silver .
But anyway, I've been wondering this for a while. Roadcraft states that vehicle checks (POWDER) should be undertaken before driving a new vehicle or for the first time every day. However, I drive 7 miles on weekdays to and from work and this seems a bit OTT. I do the POWDER checks at least every weekend and the work vehicles (two Transit Connects and a Sprinter) are checked weekly, so is it really necessary to check everything (oil levels, tyre pressures, tread depth etc) on a daily basis, considering that Roadcraft is aimed at traffic cops who drive possibly 100+ miles per day?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
