B-1 VEHICLE INSPECTION

Why Inspect? Safety.

Inspecting your vehicle helps you to know your vehicle is safe.

You protect yourself and others by inspecting your vehicle every day.

Don't risk your life or other's lives in an unsafe vehicle.

Also, federal and state laws require inspection by the driver.

An unsafe vehicle can be put "out of service" until repairs are made.
