Does a Non-Functioning High-Mount Stop Light Affect Annual Inspection?

[Jayden]

High-mount stop light not working will definitely affect the vehicle inspection, as checking the brake lights involves verifying if all the vehicle's brake lights are functioning properly: 1. If you observe carefully, you'll notice a square or rectangular red brake light positioned higher in the middle at the rear of some new car models; 2. This light is technically called a high-mount stop light, generally positioned higher than the brake lights on both sides of the car's rear. The purpose of the high-mount stop light is to alert vehicles following behind, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions; 3. Vehicles without a high-mount stop light, especially low chassis cars and micro cars, may have their rear brake lights positioned too low and often lack sufficient brightness during braking. This makes it difficult for drivers of vehicles following behind, particularly those in higher chassis vehicles like trucks, coaches, and buses, to see clearly.
