Section outline

    • Vehicle Inspection is a term given to the process of a recommended, systematized sequential procedure for inspecting a vehicle’s condition to transport passengers. 

      During the inspection, drivers try to locate possible mechanical, electrical and/or other conditions by feeling, touching, looking, listening and/or smelling that may cause an interruption of timely service or a collision. Even though many school districts perform inspections somewhat differently, the procedures are basically the same. Performing the inspection is an implied driver duty.

       The transportation of pupils is a sensitive job requiring concern for safety and liability.
