Question 39 of 82
General Knowledge
A friend lends you his car. It is very noisy and blows a lot of smoke. He tells you the vehicle has been given a defect notice but it's still OK to drive it. What should you do?
A
Borrow the car but only drive on streets where the car will not be a danger to others.
B
Borrow the car, but always drive it 10 Km/h below the speed limit.
C
Before you borrow the car check the defect notice to make sure it is legal to drive the car.
WhyA defect notice will be issued for a failed inspection and a vehicle will not pass a subsequent inspection until the necessary repairs specified on the defect notice have been fixed. In the case of a minor defect notice there will be a time period specified in which the defects must be fixed. For a major defect, the vehicle might be grounded (prevented from driving on the road).
