Who can request that you attend a truck inspection station?

The correct answer is that a police officer can request that you attend a truck inspection station. In Ontario, police officers have the authority to enforce various transportation regulations, including those regulating commercial vehicles.

When they observe a potential violation or have reasonable grounds to believe that a vehicle may not be in compliance with safety standards, they can direct the driver to an inspection station. This request ensures that trucks operate safely and legally, helping to maintain road safety for all users.

In contrast, other individuals, such as road safety officers, may have roles focused more on education and awareness rather than enforcement. Local firefighters typically respond to emergencies and do not have jurisdiction over vehicle inspections, while insurance agents are concerned with coverage and claims rather than compliance with safety regulations.
