no problem with them targetting problem vehicles, but a cracked reflector , or a marker board only having 3 screws instead of 4 or fuel issues as defects are not going to cause an injury yet get lumped in with the derious defects such as defective brakes , leaking airlines.If there is a problem with those particular group of vehicles .... is it a problem targeting them? With limited resources I would rather they stopped the ones they thought would fail than randomly stopping all, though they need to do random checks too. (Obviously if they are twisting the statistics based on that targeted approach, that would be wrong).
One wonders how many of the vehicles with defects include broken lamps that have stopped working during the course of that journey. it can happen despite peoples cries of " anecdotal evidence"
