Recommendations — what's driving each score

• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Bexar County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Bexar County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
