The aim of the article is an attempt to determine whether the technical condition of vehicles in Wielkopolska has an impact on road traffic. For this purpose, the lighting of 20 passenger vehicles and tires in public transport and driving school cars in Wielkopolska were analysed. The lighting of the subject vehicles was organoleptically tested and their intensity and dipped beam were checked at the vehicle inspection station. In the case of five of the tested vehicles, the luminous intensity was at an unsatisfactory level. In the next step, the tires of 16 randomly selected buses were tested. Tread wear tests were discussed in the analysed buses and the influence of tread wear on tire exploitation was presented. For the tested buses, it is noteworthy that the tires were changed if the tread height was too low. In the last step of the research, the tires of a driving school truck were analysed. It was found that the wear of the tire is not even due to driving on a manoeuvring area. Based on the above tests, it can be concluded that the technical condition of road vehicles is important and affects their operation and safety.
