Reasonable steps are few measures one can take to ensure that heavy vehicle drivers do not drive in contravention of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). A person in the supply chain can claim a ‘reasonable steps’ defence if they can show they did not know or could not reasonably have been expected to know that a breach had occurred.
In making a ‘reasonable steps’ claim a person also has to prove:
- they took all reasonable steps to prevent the breach, or
- there were no reasonable steps they could have taken to prevent the breach.
- For the defence to be successful, ALL reasonable steps must have been taken – not just some.
Having a GPS vehicle tracking device installed in a vehicle could help the vehicle owner in understanding how the vehicle was driven by the driver. Did the driver take adequate break, did not drive beyond the hours required by the HVNL.
