More than two-thirds of inspected trucks defected in blitz at Cavan POLICE say they are disturbed at the result of a heavy vehicle blitz in which more than two-thirds of trucks were found to have defects. As part of Operation Shake Up, police stopped 80 heavy vehicles at a truck stop on Churchill Rd North at Cavan yesterday. Police said 58 trucks were issued with defect notices, including for major brake, suspension, tyre and lighting problems. All but five of those vehicles will need to be fixed and inspected at Regency Park before they can return to the road. Police also issued 34 expiation notices to drivers for various offences including driving without registration, failing to wear a seatbelt and failing to comply with vehicle standards. Holden Hill Police will continue to monitor the heavy vehicle industry in light of these disturbing results," a police spokesman said. Last month, a similar operation resulted in defects being issued to 99 out of 148 vehicles inspected in a two-day blitz.
