In which of the listed cases regular technical inspections of a vehicle has influence on its safe use in road traffic?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Throughout the use period.
Explanation
Regular technical inspections of a vehicle affect its safe use throughout the whole period of use - answer C. The manufacturer's warranty (A and B) is a commercial agreement that has nothing to do with the condition of the brakes, tyres or lights.
The Road Traffic Act requires a vehicle to be built, equipped and maintained so that its use does not endanger the safety of the people travelling in it or other road users, and it requires periodic technical inspections: a passenger car has its first one three years after its first registration, then after two more years, and then every year. A new car can also have faulty brakes, and an old one can have excellent brakes if it is well looked after; the inspection finds faults that the driver does not notice in everyday driving. You keep track of the date, because driving without a valid inspection means that your vehicle registration certificate will be retained.
