A road safety operation is offering to check and adjust your car headlights for free next week in the heart of Puy-en-Velay. Here's what you need to know. Apprentices in CAP Vehicle Maintenance at IFP 43 in Bains will adjust car headlights free of charge on Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21 November, in Puy-en-Velay. Their workshop will be set up on the sandy part of Place du Breuil, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“60% of vehicles had a defect”
Two days which are organized in partnership with the insurer Groupama. “We want to implement preventive actions,” says Yves Brenas, president of the local fund. This operation actually comes at a strategic moment: winter is approaching and, with it, the days are getting shorter. Therefore, headlights are used more. “It is important to see well and to be seen,” indicates Jean-François Exbrayat, deputy mayor of Le Puy in charge of the living environment and the environment.
Last year, 60% of vehicles that passed through the workshop had a harness adjustment fault. However, a 1% out of control light increases the probability of dazzling oncoming users by twenty times. » At Breuil, next week, a teacher will supervise around twenty students who will take turns over the two days. Checks and adjustments last between 4 and 5 minutes.

Apprentices will be equipped to take care of car and utility vehicle headlights. “Motorcyclists are welcome, but it is not certain that we have the appropriate tools,” specifies Philipe Teule, deputy director of IFP43. An information stand on the various winter regulations, such as that of snow tires which are now compulsory, will also be available. This is an opportunity for drivers to review all the elements related to the proper functioning of their vehicle's headlights.
