Motorhavari

Motorhavari, also known as inspector in inspecting road worthiness, is a periodic inspection required for vehicles in India. The inspection is conducted by a Motor Vehicle Inspector, who checks the vehicle's roadworthiness and ensures that it meets the minimum safety standards.

The purpose of motorhavari is to prevent accidents on the roads by ensuring that vehicles are in good condition and meet the required safety standards. The inspector checks various aspects of the vehicle, including brakes, suspension, tyres, and lights.

Motorhavari is typically required for commercial vehicles, such as taxis, buses, and trucks, but it can also be applied to private vehicles. The frequency of the inspection depends on the age and type of vehicle, with newer vehicles requiring inspections less frequently than older ones.

During a motorhavari inspection, the inspector examines the vehicle's documentation, including its registration certificate and insurance papers, to verify that they are up to date. The inspector then conducts a physical inspection of the vehicle, checking for any defects or damage to the brakes, suspension, tyres, and lights.

If the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards, the inspector will issue a certificate of fitness, which allows the vehicle to ply on the roads. However, if the vehicle fails to meet the safety standards, the inspector may request repairs or modifications before issuing the certificate of fitness.

The motorhavari system is an important public health measure in India, aimed at reducing the number of road accidents and ensuring road safety.
