How do weather conditions impact vehicle inspections?

Weather conditions can significantly influence the procedures used during vehicle inspections. For instance, adverse weather such as rain, snow, or fog can affect visibility and safety for both the inspector and the vehicle being inspected. As a result, inspectors may need to make adjustments to their standard procedures to ensure that inspections are still thorough and safe under those conditions. These adjustments might include additional safety measures, modifications in the way specific components are inspected, or prioritizing certain checks based on the influence of weather factors.

In contrast, additional personnel is typically not required just because of weather conditions, and the types of vehicles being inspected do not generally change due to weather. Inspections are also mandatory regardless of weather conditions, so they cannot be eliminated by such factors. Therefore, the need for adjustments to inspection procedures is the most accurate reflection of how weather impacts vehicle inspections.
