Brake Safety Week is scheduled to take place.  Inspectors will be conducting a full Level 1 inspection, which is the most comprehensive inspection. During Brake Safety Day in April, 14% of vehicles inspected were put out of service. During last year’s International Roadcheck, brake related violations were the number one reason vehicles were put out of service. Law enforcement aim to lower the number of crashes caused by poorly maintained brake systems by removing dangerous vehicles from our roadways.
