Print this Article

As part of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Brake Safety Week, taking place September 16-22, CVSA-certified enforcement personnel will conduct roadside inspections on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in order to identify and remove CMVs with critical brake violations from roadways and to call attention to the dangers of faulty brake systems.

Properly functioning brake systems are crucial to safe CMV operation. Brakes must be routinely inspected and carefully and consistently maintained so they operate and perform to the manufacturer's specifications throughout the life of the vehicle. Improperly installed or poorly maintained brake systems can reduce braking efficiency, posing serious risk to public safety on roadways.
