Built and run by a working UK Lead Transport Manager. If a tool wouldn't help me on a real walkaround, it doesn't ship.
Works on the phone in your hand, at the roadside, with no sign-up to try. Answers in the time it takes to walk round the trailer.
Get three defect checks and a printable roadside defect card on the house. See whether it's a "drive it" or a "park it" before an examiner does.
The Transport Quiz — a fresh HGV knowledge quiz every Saturday. Test yourself on your break, then keep the fleet legal with the tools above.
"I run transport for a living. Roadworthy is the kit I wanted myself — fast, accurate, and honest about the rules."
Roadworthy isn't a faceless template shop. It's built and run by someone who does this job every day — so the tools are grounded in how compliance actually works on the ground, not how a marketer imagines it.
That means verdicts you can trust, paperwork that passes an audit, and plain-English answers instead of jargon. If it wouldn't help a real driver or operator, it doesn't get made.
Short, honest explainers — no fluff, straight from DVSA's own categorisation.
