I would think that before leaving a driver would check his vehicle for safety. But maybe that's just me being pedantic and, you know, safe!

 

 

 

I really can't see any driver thinking "better check the integrity of the gas tanks".....most wouldn't know what they were looking at or looking for......light checks, yes, brake check as they set off, yes, glance at the tyres, yes.

Why would the driver check the integrity of the gas Tanks that is a specialized Inspectors job  A Risk assessment should be carried out by the Driver   A Risk assessment is a Book   dedicated to that bus and in it a list of what the bus driver has to check and sign off,  yes it is not a perfect system he could not bother and just sign off with out doing this, then there is only one person responsible, there is NO perfect safety system it all boils down to the individual

Yeah...having spent 10 years in the airline industry, a few years sailing, and then the house construction industry, I guess I'm kinda safety conscious.

Before every single flight, every house under construction every single day and before untying from the dock every time. From what I read, at least one of those 11 CNG cannisters was leaking. A quick check and a sniff and shut it down. No lives lost.
