Newburgh, IN -- (SBWire) -- 05/19/2015 --Most people spend a lot of time on the road; some may just be pedestrians who are walking on their way to school, some just have to run to the store for some errands and some drive and face the traffic travelling to work. But there are a lot of times where road traffic accidents transpire due to a number of reasons like road and weather conditions, driver factors and, of course, vehicular conditions.
Since one of the most important aspects in the prevention of road traffic accidents is by ensuring that a car or any automotive is road-worthy, then it is important that every car owner are aware of the importance of the road safety tests and subject their vehicles to this important process. Car buyers should also make sure that they car they are purchasing have gone through the comprehensive car testing to ensure their safety as well as their families.
During the Vehicular testing, the cars should be running, but it has to maintain at normal operating temperature while waiting for the person to test the vehicle; it is also part of the test that every driver knows all the important controls and switches that need to be operated and that the headlamp leveling device is set to zero since this should be the ideal position.
One of the very vital parts of the tests is the Smoke Emission Test. Here, the density of the smoke emitted by diesel-powered engines is tested with the use of a calibrated smoke meter while the speed is accelerated to a certain speed. If the car emits dark and excessive amounts of smoke or there are unusual sounds heard which may be a sign of engine defect; then the testing center has the right to refuse issuance of a certificate that the car is safe to be driven on the road as it may obscure the sight of other motorists and it can severely damage the environment.
The Under Bonnet Inspection aims to check more elaborate details such as:
- the engine transmission, fuel systems
- the structural reliability in the construction of the entire vehicle
- the mechanical, hydraulic and vacuum brake systems
- the vehicle registration plates and Identification number
- the brake, engine and steering fluid levels
- and the general condition of the vehicle
The Assessment of the Safety Features of the vehicle is another very significant aspect that should be inspected. Cars should always be equipped with fully functional seat belts, automatic airbags, etc for driver and passenger safety in case of car crashes. The active stability controls in new cars allow the driver to maintain control over the wheel even during sudden swerving to prevent car collisions. It is also very vital that the braking system is dependable at all times and if in case there is a need to tow the vehicles, sturdy and durable tow car braking systems are the best choice to install.
