In the UK, there are more than 3.6 million vans currently used for business purposes. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the police have the authority to carry out impromptu inspections on your vehicles and, if necessary, issue prohibitions. Such prohibitions prevent your drivers from operating the vehicle until the issue is resolved.

As part of its targeted roadside checks, DVSA inspects around 15,600 vans annually. DVSA estimates that being stopped during these checks can cost owners and operators up to £4,000 per vehicle, per day.
