Prepare the vehicle

Prepare the vehicle

Park in a well-lit area, keep your registration ready, and do a quick check of lights, wipers, horn, tires, and warning lights.

A short pre-check helps the inspection move faster and reduces avoidable failures caused by simple issues such as lights, wipers, or active warning indicators.
