Have you ever heard the term KIR? This term may already be understood by most car owners for transportation or commercial purposes. However, for some people who have just acquired a car, this term is quite foreign. Therefore, let's take a complete look at what is meant by KIR for cars, the requirements, the process, and the costs, as follows.

What is KIR for Cars?

KIR for cars is the process of testing the feasibility of a vehicle regulated by traffic and road transportation laws (Regulation from the Ministry of Transportation in 2009, No. 22). It determines whether the vehicle is fit to be driven on the road, safe, and meets the requirements.

Pre-test stage
Smok tester
Play detector
Headlight tester
Side slip tester
Axle road
Brake tester
Speedometer tester.
