Question 1056 in the bank

Who is permitted to repair vehicle safety part failures?

  1. Every driver having know-how and experience in the field of vehicle mechanics.
  2. Every professional in any vehicle repair garage.
  3. Every driver, as long as he follows the manufacturer’s manual.
  4. Correct answer: A qualified mechanic at a licensed garage only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: A qualified mechanic at a licensed garage only.

Safety defects, such as in the brakes, steering or tyres, directly affect the lives of the driver and other road users. That is why only a qualified mechanic at a licensed garage may repair them. A driver's own know-how or the manufacturer's manual is not enough, and neither is just any garage, because proper qualification, equipment and supervision are required.
