The most important thing for your car is its safety. Only a working machine can be safe. That is why every driver must take a responsible approach to the technical condition of the car.

According to the rules, a new car purchased at a car dealership may not undergo a technical inspection for 3 three years. After three years, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle. If it is intended for the carriage of passengers, then it must be inspected twice a year, regardless of the year of manufacture.

Then proceed to check the steering. Check the backlash of the steering wheel of the vehicle. They will see the work of external lighting devices.
