Revision of ASA Inspection Requirements for Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Semitrailers Operated on Public Highways

The D7 Sectional Committee of the ASA has revised to 1962 standards the codes for inspection requirements for motor vehicles, trailers, and semitrailers operating on public highways. This paper covers 16 areas of substantial revisions to the code.

The paper strongly endorses vehicle inspection as making an important contribution to highway safety and endorses the D7 code as an instrument to provide uniformity, to further reciprocity on vehicle inspection, and to consolidate safety features engineered by the automotive trade.
