By order of the Minister of Transport, Information Technologies and Communications, Ivaylo Moskovski inspectors from EA "Automobile Administration" began mass inspections of trucks and buses throughout the country. Accent is put on the verification condition of the tires and the condition of the braking system.
Inspectors will check breaks in the tire tread depth and anchorage of the road wheels. They will check for leaks and air leaks in the braking system, the presence of cracks on brake discs, brake pads and the thickness of all the other elements that relate to traffic safety. The objective of strengthening controls is to increase the security of vehicles and ensure life and health of citizens in the upcoming winter season.
According to the regulations, the tread depth should be not less than 1.6 mm. When the tires don't meet these requirements, the stopping distance increases dramatically. In wet or snowy pavement, stopping can be increased by 20%. Very often this is the reason for serious accidents and deaths on the road. |
