Canada Driver Training: Trip Inspection: Walk-Around
Course Length: 15 Minutes
Overview: The “walk around†is an essential part of a daily trip inspection. Performing it consistently will help a driver find mechanical problems before they cause a breakdown or accident. Finding problems before leaving on a trip will save a problem down the road. It could prevent a costly repair on the side of the road and will also help drivers avoid citations.
