What should you do if you find that your vehicle does not have any working brake lamps after a daily inspection?

If a daily inspection reveals that your vehicle does not have any working brake lamps, the appropriate course of action is to record the major defect and not operate the vehicle. Brake lamps are a critical safety feature that alert other drivers when you are slowing down or stopping. Without functional brake lights, your vehicle poses a significant risk to both you and other road users, as it can lead to rear-end collisions and other accidents.

In Ontario, vehicles must adhere to specific safety regulations, and operating a vehicle that has a major defect like non-working brake lamps is not only unsafe but may also violate these regulations. Hence, it is essential to document the defect and refrain from using the vehicle until it is repaired. This ensures compliance with safety standards and promotes safe driving practices.
