Abstract

Information related to the effectiveness of motor vehicle inspection as a means of reducing highway fatalities was collected from 37 states. The arguments pro and con, costs, nature of the inspection, relation of mechanical defects to accidents, and the present and future status of inspection are discussed. It was ascertained from the statistics that there is no evidence that can be cited to prove that periodic vehicle inspection reduces the death rate.
