Course Overview
As well as being a regulatory requirement, proper vehicle inspections can go a long way in ensuring your vehicle, safe and efficient operation. Vehicle inspections can help in finding mechanical problems before they cause a breakdown or accident. This can help in avoiding costly on the road repairs as well as delays in deliveries.
