As Vehicle Inspection Units Head to Provinces, Skepticism Persists

Mobile vehicle inspection units will begin to visit far-flung provinces in the coming weeks to help rural car and truck owners have their vehicles checked, though traffic safety experts said they had doubts about the initiative making a difference.

Transport Minister Sun Chanthol announced on Tuesday that the ministry would spend nearly $1 million for three of the machines—including one already imported from China—in response to a high number of fatalities resulting from traffic accidents and a lack of inspection services in rural areas...

Each inspection unit will be able to test about 140 vehicles per day, compared to 300 a day at static stations, he said.

Car owners must have their cars inspected within four years of purchase, and again every two years, while trucks must be inspected after two years, and then every year.
