29. One method of taking reasonable steps

Without limiting the ways in which a person may take all reasonable steps for the purposes of this Act, a person is to be regarded as having taken all reasonable steps to ensure that a specified thing will not cause a driver of a vehicle to exceed any speed limit that applies to the vehicle if she or he – (a) identifies and assesses – (i) what aspects of the specified thing might cause the driver to exceed a speed limit; and (ii) the risks that those aspects might cause the driver to exceed a speed limit; and (iii) if there is a substantial risk that an aspect might cause the driver to exceed a speed limit, what she or he can reasonably do to eliminate that risk, or if it is not reasonably possible to eliminate that risk, to minimise that risk; and (b) repeats that identification and assessment – (i) if anything occurs that may adversely affect, or that indicates that there may be a problem with, the specified thing; and (ii) in any event, at least annually; and (c) does the things identified under paragraph (a)(ii) as being things that she or he can reasonably do; and (b) documents the actions that she or he has taken under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), and retains that documentation for at least 3 years.
