Rover ready to resume trek stats misleading trucking Industry continued from a1 the vehicles Are examined by a team of specially trained police officers. Vehicles failing the test with major defects had to be repaired on site or towed to a garage. In some cases the Drivers were Given a $66 ticket. Cook said it appears that the new provincial vehicle safety inspections that have to be done either annually or Semi annually Are the Only times some commercial truck owners Are doing any maintenance. A owners Are relying on the provincial safety inspections to find defects in their vehicles a he said. A if they done to have a breakdown in Between inspections they just keep Cook said the larger trucking firms tend to have better maintained vehicles although some vehicles from the big companies failed the test. It is the second time in the past month that random inspections have been done on commercial trucks in Manitoba. In Early june Road c Heck �?T97 was conducted with inspectors from the province doing checks similar to the ones police Are now doing. The Industry fared slightly better during Road Check �?T97, with Only 26 per cent of the trucks failing. Bob Dolyniuk the general manager of the Manitoba trucking association said the police vehicle inspections do not accurately reflect the safety of the commercial vehicle Fleet in the City. A if you compare the police numbers to what was found during Road Check �?T97, they Are shall i say diametrically opposed a a said Dolyniuk. A i understand the Winnipeg police inspectors Are not exactly random and that has affected the Cook said police do look for vehicles that May be unsafe and single them out for inspection but pointed out that does no to change the fact that More than 120 unsafe vehicles were on the Road. David Leonhardt National spokesman for the Canadian automobile association said truck Drivers need better training to help them recognize defects in their vehicles. He said fines should be increased so that owners Are forced to keep their Fleet in Good working order. A the fines in Many cases Are not High enough but the owners Are also considering the likelihood that they will even be caught Quot he said. In Ontario the Mike Harris government is considering Tough new penalties to encourage truckers travelling in the province to make sure their rigs Are Safe. Continued from a1 Quot we really have accomplished a lot just to this Point. Its time to replan our approach a he said.

That caused the probe to automatically search for instructions from Earth using its Low gain or slow Speed Antenna. Scientists who were expecting data from the spacecrafts High gain Antenna were briefly disconnected. Muirhead said the problem May have been caused by a sort of overload of the rovers computer similar to what can happen when a Home computer runs too Many programs at once.
