The risk of road accidents increases in Singapore every year with the continuous increase in the number of vehicles on its roads. This increase in the on-road activities has also increased the necessity of checking the condition of the vehicles plying on them. For this reason regular annual safety pre-inspections have been mandatory by the LTA or Land Transport Authority of Singapore, at least for the 3 years old vehicles, for the safety and security f the drivers as well as riders in these vehicle. The road safety can be ensured for all by the regular inspection of the vehicles.

The body of the vehicle
Accessories and modifications of the vehicle
Tyres and wheels of the vehicle
Other items like horn, seat belts, safety devices and wind screen etc.
Step 2:
Then our inspector checks the alignment of front wheels by driving the vehicle on side-slip tester and measuring their lateral movement. He also checks the efficiency of the brakes of the vehicle by testing their drag force and performance with a brake tester. The results provided by our inspector are registered and displayed automatically on the overhead indicator board along with instructions.
Step 3:
At this stage our inspector properly tests the focus and alignment of the headlights of your vehicle. Vertical and horizontal aim and luminous intensity of each headlight is measured at high beam by using headlamp aimer. He also examines the exhaust emission of the petrol driven vehicles by inserting a probe into its exhaust pipe to take a sample of gas for examination.
