South Shore truckers can take advantage of free brake checks this week, during the annual Brake Safety Awareness Week. Nova Scotia's inspection is Tuesday (September 13th) at the Kelly Lake Vehicle Inspection Station on Highway 102, near the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Vehicle inspectors from all three Maritime provinces will provide free checks for truckers who stop in from 9:30 a-m to 3 p-m. Inspectors will show drivers how to adjust air brakes and check for other brake-related defects. There will not be any enforcement action taken during the event. Its purpose is education and inspection, and to improve highway safety.
Similar events are being held in New Brunswick and P.E.I. For more information on Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance's Brake Safety Week, visit
