state inspection regulations

State inspection regulations require vehicles to undergo periodic safety and emissions tests to ensure they meet established standards. These inspections typically assess brakes, tires, lights, exhaust systems, and other critical components to promote safety and environmental compliance. The frequency and specific requirements vary by state. Passing an inspection may be necessary to renew vehicle registration. The goal is to identify and fix potential safety issues before they pose risks, ensuring vehicles on the road are safe for all users and adhere to environmental regulations.
