Whose legal duty is it to perform a pre-trip inspection on a commercial vehicle?
- A The mechanic only
- B The passengers
- The driver who will operate the vehicle
- D No inspection is required
Why: It is the driver’s legal responsibility to inspect the vehicle and ensure it is safe before operating it.
When should a pre-trip inspection be carried out?
- Before the vehicle is first driven that day
- B Only once a month
- C Only after a breakdown
- D Never
Why: A pre-trip inspection is done before the vehicle is first put into service for the day, to find defects before driving.
If a major (out-of-service) defect is found during inspection, you must:
- A Drive it gently to a garage
- Not operate the vehicle until the defect is repaired
- C Note it and drive the full route
- D Ignore it if you are running late
Why: A major (out-of-service) defect means the vehicle must not be driven until it is properly repaired.
Which of these should be checked during a pre-trip inspection?
- A Only the fuel gauge
- B Only the radio
- C Only the seat position
- Tires, lights, brakes, steering and mirrors
Why: A pre-trip inspection covers safety-critical systems including tires, lights, brakes, steering, mirrors, horn and wipers.
Found defects should be:
- A Kept secret
- B Erased from the log
- Recorded/reported so they are repaired and tracked
- D Mentioned only to passengers
Why: Defects must be reported and recorded so the carrier can have them repaired and keep a maintenance record.
En-route inspections during a long trip are important because:
- Defects can develop after you start driving
- B They replace the pre-trip inspection
- C They are only for new vehicles
- D They are not necessary
Why: Tires can lose pressure, loads can shift and components can fail during a trip, so en-route checks catch problems early.
