Brake safety inspections on Sept. 4
Aug 11, 2003 12:00 PM
Truck and bus safety enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. and Canada will conduct Operation Air Brake, 12 hours of roadside inspections targeted on brake safety, on Sept. 4.
The Operation Air Brake campaign places a major emphasis on education and awareness of the need to improve brake safety. Drivers whose vehicles are inspected during the campaign will receive literature that provides information about proper brake inspection and maintenance.
The event, which is sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance and includes participation from the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and Transport Canada, originated in Canada in 1998.
