What is the purpose of an exterior inspection on a DZ vehicle?

The primary purpose of an exterior inspection on a DZ vehicle is to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate. This inspection involves a thorough check of various exterior components, including the tires, lights, brakes, mirrors, and overall structural integrity. By systematically assessing these elements, the driver can identify potential safety hazards that could affect the vehicle's performance and the safety of the driver and other road users.

While fuel efficiency, cleaning, and engine performance are important aspects of vehicle maintenance and operation, they are not the main focus of an exterior inspection. Ensuring that a vehicle is safe to operate is crucial for preventing accidents and maintaining compliance with safety regulations on the road. This foundational aspect of vehicle operation directly contributes to safer driving conditions and can help prevent breakdowns or incidents caused by overlooked issues.
