The correct answer is: For yours, mine and others safety

Conducting a safety inspection on a vehicle before driving is fundamentally about ensuring the safety of everyone involved—both the driver and other road users. This proactive measure helps identify potential mechanical issues or hazards that could lead to accidents or breakdowns during driving. By checking critical components such as brakes, lights, tires, and steering during the inspection, drivers can prevent situations that may endanger themselves and others. The focus on safety is crucial in law enforcement settings where officers may need to respond quickly to emergencies, requiring that their vehicles are always ready and reliable. Therefore, the priority is to mitigate risks and ensure a safe driving environment, making it essential to conduct these inspections regularly.
