“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.
