During the walk-around part of the inspection, which group of items should you check at the front of the vehicle?
Correct answer: Front axle, steering system, lights and reflectors, and windshield.
Answer options
- ALights and reflectors, windshield, company decals, and hood ornament
- BFront axle, steering system, lights and reflectors, and windshield Correct
- CFront axle, paint finish, windshield, and chrome trim
Why
At the front of the vehicle, the walk-around covers the front axle, the steering system (no loose, worn, bent or missing parts), the lights and reflectors (clean, working and the right color) and the windshield (undamaged, with wipers in good shape). Paint, trim and decals are cosmetic and play no part in this safety check.
