How are we meant to get 2 rounds of parcels in one Vauxhall Combi

But royal mail have a master plan to solve this very issue "use your own car"

Broken side door, put it off the road!
Not your problem!

I took a Bipper off the road because the back doors wouldn’t open. When I got back to the office someone had taken the van out.

Do some staff in DOs not realise that if they get pulled over and the van is not safe/fit for use the police will deem them to be at fault/responsible and they'll be the one that gets fined/goes to court/gets penalty points?

Cargo doors not opening doesn't mean it's unroadworthy so not a police matter afaik and they aren't legally permitted to look in the back of RM vans which presumably includes checking said doors.

This is the very issue I have with us being made to give the van an all clear through the vehicle check on the PDA. We’ll be held to that if anything happens. Even though some of the vans shouldn’t be leaving the yard except to go to the scrappy.

As we are now a private company police can if they sufficient reason search an RM van
