Test Drives with the use of Testing and Measuring Devices

If testing equipment must be used during a road test, observe the following:


Distraction and testing equipment that is not secured properly can cause accidents.

The passenger airbag could pose a risk if it deploys in a collision.

Operating testing equipment while driving causes it to shift position.

There is an increased risk of injury due to unsecured testing equipment.

Always secure testing equipment on the rear seat using a strap and have a second person in the rear seat to operate it.
