Motor Vehicle Inspection
Have A Question Or A Problem?
The Need For Motor Vehicle InspectionTherearethreefactorsinvolved
whichcontributetotheoveralltrafficcrashexperience.Theyare the driver, the roadway, and the vehicle. All of us have seen vehicles that prove many owners fail to prop-erly maintain their vehi cles. The function of the Missouri State Highway Patrol; Motor Vehicle Inspection Program is to identify these defective vehicles and cause them to be repaired or removed from the highways of the state. How, then, are we to accom-plish this? The only way to be reasonably certain vehicles are main tained mechanically safe is through periodic motor vehicle inspec-tion. Since the program began in 1969, over one million defects have been identified annually. This has contributed to the continual decrease in the death rate per 100 million miles.
