What is "roadworthiness"?
Roadworthiness refers to the condition of a vehicle that ensures it is safe and fit to be driven on public roads. A roadworthy vehicle is one that meets safety and environmental standards, with properly functioning parts like brakes, lights, tires, and the exhaust system. Regular checks and inspections, such as the Ministry of Transportation test in some countries, are conducted to ensure that vehicles remain roadworthy. This is important to prevent accidents, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and protect the driver, passengers, and other road users.
Example
Before taking the car on a long trip, ensure its roadworthiness by checking the tires and brakes.
The car failed the roadworthiness test due to a faulty exhaust system.
If a vehicle ’s roadworthiness is in doubt, it may be banned from being driven on public roads.
