Does car inspection prevent accidents

Answer 1

Yes, it can.

For instance; If your brake lights don't work, you won't know it without inspecting the vehicle, and the person driving behind you can't know that your brake lights don't work either, so when you hit the brakes and stop, the person behind you will very likely hit you because they couldn't tell that you were stopping. Had you inspected the vehicle, and repaired the defective brake lights that you would have discovered, the people driving behind you are far less likely to rear end you.
