Both pre- and post-trip inspections cover critical vehicle systems. Drivers must follow a checklist to ensure nothing is missed.
Tires: Check pressure, tread depth (minimum 1.6 mm), and signs of wear.
Brakes: Listen for squealing, check responsiveness, and inspect air lines.
Lights & Signals: Ensure all indicators, headlights, and brake lights work.
Fluids: Check oil, coolant, brake fluid, and washer levels.
Cabin: Test horn, seatbelts, mirrors, dashboard alerts, and tachograph function.
Purpose for Training: To standardize inspection routines and ensure drivers know what to check, reducing the risk of missed faults and improving safety.
