What types of lighting are checked for functionality during an inspection?

Headlights, taillights, turn signals, and brake lights are all critical components of a vehicle's lighting system, playing essential roles in visibility and safety while driving. During an inspection, these lights are checked for functionality to ensure that they are working correctly and are in good condition.

The headlights are crucial for illumination at night and during poor weather conditions, while taillights indicate the vehicle's presence to other drivers from behind. Turn signals provide important signals to indicate the driver’s intentions when changing lanes or turning, and brake lights alert following drivers that the vehicle is slowing down or stopping.

Inspections aim to maintain the safety and proper functioning of all these systems, as malfunctioning lighting can lead to accidents or penalties. Therefore, the inclusion of all these types of lights in the inspection criteria reflects their importance in overall vehicle safety and compliance with state regulations.
